In the midst of moral failings, political polarization, and social division, it can be easy to feel disillusioned with church. But Scripture presents a vision of God's people beyond our culture wars as a vibrant, intergenerational and multicultural family.

Discover the power of God to transcend our social boundaries, shaping us as a counter-cultural force in the world that embodies the radical family-making reality of God’s Kingdom.

This course is based on Imes' book, Becoming God's Family, available at IVP.
