Apprenticeship to Jesus in Marriage and Family with Heath Hardesty

Marriage After God

About this episode

Integrated faith in marriage and family is the focus of this conversation between Aaron Smith and Heath Hardesty, a former plumber's apprentice turned Silicon Valley pastor and author of All Things Together. Heath explains why apprenticeship to Jesus is the cure for a fragmented age: union with Christ leads to abiding, obeying, and being conformed into His image. He names the cultural disintegrations that leave us disenchanted, dissociated, and disembodied, and shows how media feeds can quietly catechize us. Heath and Aaron also talk about lament and joy, and Heath closes with seven practices for marriage and family: scriptural meditation, unceasing prayer, life together, unhurried presence, joyful generosity, compassionate gentleness, and faithful witness.
