My Crazy Imperfect Christian Family

Being a Christian isn’t about being perfect
Love the ones you’re with. Let’s face it: home is probably the toughest place to live out our faith. It’s so easy to hurt the ones we love. Or to just put our lives on autopilot after a hard day’s work. And as much as we want to be good parents, spouses, and children, families inevitably let each other down. But God uses family in huge ways—the good, the bad, the ugly, even the really ugly parts—to bring about His work in our lives. As Glenn Stanton shows us, every time we change diapers, read Blueberries for Sal, paint the kitchen, or reach out to a drug-addicted daughter, it can be an opportunity to be like Christ. Being a Christian in your family isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being open to how God wants to change you. Through God’s help, allow yourself to be real where it counts: in all those crazy or boring, broken or seamless moments of family life. It’s here that God does some of His greatest work!
