Fully Functional Families: The Family Guide to GROW Through Dysfunction!

Description

Here’s the truth: All families have some form of dysfunction! The question is, how will you grow through your dysfunction to become the loving, caring family that God called you to be? Grab your family and let’s learn together during this 6-day plan as we move from dysfunction to harmony while experiencing family healing and growth.

Day 1:Your Dysfunction Does Not Determine your Family’s Identity.

I’ve heard it many times, “Bro, my family has been at it for years!”? Some family hurt cuts deep and it’s easier to just accept that your family has always been and will always be dysfunctional. I get it. That’s why I started this Bible Plan with the dysfunctional story about Jacob–one of the Biblical characters that has been inducted into what I’ve heard called the “Faith Hall of Fame .” The Day 1 message is clear: No matter how dysfunctional your past was, your family can still build a lasting legacy!

Day 2: Foundational Faith and Unifying Belief

Sometimes, it feels like life pulls us in many different directions. So at the end of the day, we need a single reference point that guides our values, decisions, and behavior. I introduce that reference point in Day 2!

Day 3: Love and sacrifice

?? ???”What’s love got to do, got to do with it?” Well… A lot! Love is the critical component that makes us prioritize others’ needs over our own. It’s what gives us the willingness and desire to lay down our lives for the betterment of our fellow family member. That’s what Day 3 is all about!

Day 4: Open and Honest Communication

You can’t build trust without open and honest communication, but we must communicate in a way that is respectful to our family members. Learn how in Day 4!

Day 5: Community and Togetherness

There’s no way to grow through dysfunction if we don’t sync to achieve a common goal. Everyone must do their part for this to work! How do you do that? Let’s discuss in Day 5!

Day 6: Responsibility, Accountability, and Forgiveness

This is the final topic that brings brings it all together. We have to have the courage to hold each other accountable and the humility to accept feedback from each other. This process is tough, and we will inevitably mess it up. That’s why forgiveness is key! It’s the perfect wrap-up and reminder that this Bible Plan is just the beginning of a daily conversation and lifestyle.
