WORKSHOP

The effect of a family on a child is similar to the effect of molten steel being poured into a mold or cast. The family has a similar effect on people.

A child is like molten steel, being poured into the cast of the family environment. His or her concept of self, what love is, how relationships work, how life works—all this and more is deeply cast into the child’s psyche.

God’s family (the Trinity) is the only completely healthy family. The characteristics of God’s family are the ones we were meant to know well, to have as the life-building characteristics we experience, feel, and share.
