Pastor BJ has officially completed (sort of) his six-part series about the Christian household.    Episode 6 looks at how the nuclear family is considered as an economic unit. The role of the Christian household in accomplishing the cultural mandate involves economic considerations. Therefore, we must see all economic and wealth building activity as proceeding from the duties of the family. Pastor BJ had not originally intended an additional episode of this series. But, given some conversations and challenges that have come from it, he has decided to do an additional episode answering some of these confusions and challenges. Topics to expect: broken families, ordering loyalties, socialism, and even the end of the world.    Credit for Music:Aaron Rench - "Start a Fire"https://sc.lnk.to/AR-saf
