Every person’s marital status and station in life is sacred.

Our insights on Marriage, Singleness, & TCK Care

Every person’s marital status and station in life is sacred and is to be cherished and valued (See Emotionally Healthy Leader book by Pete Scazerro and Sacred Siblings book by Sue Eenigenburg and Suzy Grumelot).

Singleness is sacred. In the new covenant, we are called to be fruitful and multiply spiritually. Spiritual children and legacy are important. How one leads out of their singleness is a testament to God’s goodness. Singleness has its challenges, so recognition from organizations and teams is imperative. Single people need to be encouraged to take care of their needs and hearts and not sacrifice that simply because they may have more time available than those married with children.

Marriage and children are sacred. Physical children and spouses are the most important relationships in someone's life and need to be of utmost priority. One's physical children are the most important people they will ever disciple. Marriage is a holy sacrament worth the time, effort, counseling, and money to invest in. Making one's home life a priority as it is how “the world will know you are a disciple, by how you love.” We do not condone sacrificing one's family and marriage on the altar of missions/ministry.
