Eight-session founding course
Marriage
& Family.
A Scripture-centered path for building a faithful marriage, forming a strong household, raising faithful Christians, repairing what is broken, and handing a living inheritance forward.
The household calling
The household is not a retreat from Christian culture. It is where Christian culture is first taught, practiced, remembered, repaired, and handed forward.
The purpose
Build a home that remembers Christ.
Strong homes are not produced by nostalgia, appearance, or good intentions. They are built through covenant kept in ordinary time: prayer, work, truth, responsibility, affection, correction, repentance, hospitality, and service.
This course is designed for individual adults, married couples, parents and guardians, adult-led groups, and churches. Children may join family practices under direct adult leadership; member tools remain for adults.
What this path forms
Four duties. One household witness.
The course moves from covenant to order, from order to formation, and from formation to a home capable of serving beyond itself.
Order
Give prayer, work, rest, responsibility, money, and hospitality an intentional shape.
Formation
Raise faithful Christians through repeated truth, worship, example, discipline, and love.
Mission
Send the strength of the household outward in service, belonging, memory, and legacy.
The complete founding course
Receive the truth. Examine the home. Practice the next duty.
Read each passage in context. Use the formation question honestly, then complete one concrete household practice before moving forward.
Session 1 of 8
The Household Under Christ
Read first · Genesis 1:26–28 · Genesis 2:18–24 · Joshua 24:14–15 · Colossians 3:12–17
A Christian household is a sphere of covenant, belonging, worship, work, formation, hospitality, responsibility, and service ordered under the lordship of Christ.
What is already forming the loves, loyalties, habits, speech, and expectations of our home—and which influence has gone largely unexamined?
Write a one-sentence household mission beginning, “Under Christ, our home will be a place where…” Name three practices that would make the sentence visible.
Study at your own pace
All sessions are open. Bring a Bible and a notebook.
Account saving is not part of the initial core release.

Carry it into the home
Make the study visible this week.
The course gives the why. These tools help a household choose the next repeatable practice, printable, conversation, or act of service.
A necessary boundary
Covenant does not conceal harm.
Christian teaching about marriage and family never requires a person to submit to violence, coercion, sexual abuse, threats, stalking, the endangerment of children, or other criminal harm. Immediate safety, truthful disclosure, lawful protection, and qualified pastoral, clinical, legal, or emergency help may be necessary. Forgiveness does not erase accountability or automatically restore access and trust.
