Ron, this is so hard for me to relate to. I’ve never experienced a blended family. Well, maybe you have.
Ron: Ron, this is so hard for me to relate to. I’ve never experienced a blended family. Well, maybe you have.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: I often run into people who can’t relate to stepfamilies because they’ve never lived in one. So, I say, you’re part of a church, right? Think about it like this.
A lot of churches these days look and feel like stepfamilies. They have a diverse membership from a variety of theological and ethnic backgrounds trying to find a common worship style, belief, and practice. Or what about when a church changes pastors they get a new stepparent, so to speak, with a different style that some members welcome and others resent. Maybe you know more about blended families than you think. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
