Can You Ever Separate the Family?

For many years, folks have accused the Family Integrated Church movement, saying that we teach that families should never be separated for worship or discipleship. But is that really true? In fact, we have never said such a thing.

In this podcast, hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm clarify a common misunderstanding by explaining the difference between occasional age-specific ministry and the comprehensive, systematic age segregation that has become common in many churches. The truth is, the generations need each other. That’s what the Scriptures teach. From Genesis to Revelation, we’re given a beautiful picture of “men and women and little ones” (Deut. 31:12), side by side, worshiping God together. Their charge: to be strong, the church must recover this biblical pattern.
