Faith isn't meant to be a nuclear project.
The village that raises a child in faith includes grandparents who pray, aunts who listen, uncles who model integrity, cousins who become lifelong friends. Extended family is God's gift of a wider web of belonging.
A phone call that becomes a blessing. A holiday gathering where stories are told and remembered. The quiet wisdom of an older relative who has walked with God through decades of changing seasons.
In a culture that isolates and fragments, staying connected to extended family is a deliberate act of resistance. It's choosing the messy, complicated, beautiful reality of belonging over the convenience of distance.
"One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts." : Psalm 145:4
