Our families face a real enemy and, no, it's not your spouse, kids, or in-laws.  The enemy is real and, if not paid attention to, will seek to drive division, defeat, and destruction for your family.  In this message, you will get several practical tools to combat the enemy's plays for your family.

Everyone is different and everyone sees the world from a different perspective.  Put two of those people in a marriage, add a few more in the form of children, and you have a recipe for conflict in communication.  But God wants us to win with our relationships, and His playbook (the Bible) gives useful tools for navigating these areas.

There is a fair amount of confusion about the purpose of the family.  But, since God thought up the family, you can bet He if for successful families and has a lot to say about how to achieve success in His proven playbook, the Bible.  Turns out, if you and employ some simple and effective practices into your home life, you can raise up next season's players well.

God created the family and He created marriage as the foundation for a well-functioning family.  But we often feel a tension between what God intended and what we sometimes experience.  So how do we fight the tension and move things in a better direction?  When we turn to the Proven Playbook (the Bible), we start to get a clearer picture of our next steps.
