Is Marriage Still Relevant?, Part 1

The pastors of Intown explore the question "Is marriage still relevant?" In a world where our understanding of relationships seems to be constantly changing, why is marriage needed?

What are the benefits of marriage, and does it make sense to see these as gifts designed by God? How might a covenantal view of marriage differ from a contractual view?

Whoever you are, and whatever your relationship status, these questions are impacting you. Join us for an exploration of marriage in contemporary culture and of ways Christians can lean into the conversation with grace and wisdom.

In episode 1, David Fisk compares statistics on marriage in the culture and in the church and sets the stage for the rest of the series, emphasizing that we don’t want to set up an “us vs. them” mentality but rather a posture of curiosity about the way things are in the world and how they got that way.

For the original presentation, a handout was given to participants to follow along. Download that handout here.
