Family Matters

This panel discussion titled "Family Matters," emphasizes the importance of family as a core institution established by God and sustained through the church community. The discussion features a moderator, Pastor Joe Floarea, and three panelists—Jay Ruiz (a married father), Chris McCandvas (a single adult), and Ronnie Kennedy (an older saint and grandparent)—who share testimonies and practical advice related to their Christian walk. Key themes explored include the need for parents to prioritize the Kingdom of God over their children's desires, the necessity of setting spiritual guardrails against harmful societal influences like excessive technology, and the significant role of prayer and fasting as central to biblical order for single believers. The panelists also highlighted the profound impact of spiritual family and mentorship within the church, with older members encouraged to guide the younger generation through biblical truth and personal example, while stressing the lifelong value of financial stewardship and investing in eternal matters.
