Once A Prince, Now A Parable of Moral Shame: Prince Andrew Settles Lawsuit Over Sex Trafficking Allegations

Special Episode: Family Worship
For this week’s special episode, we present a study written and taught by Dr. Ryan Bush on the discipline of family worship. The ancient practice is largely lost in our modern Christian communities. But it is slowly being rediscovered by families across the globe. However, many need help to understand its importance and build it into the rhythm of their home.

In this 8-week study, Dr. Bush teaches that Scripture is filled with an assumption that family worship would be conducted regularly in the context of everyday life. Each session ends with a discussion where Dr. Bush answers challenging questions about how to start and maintain family worship.

As with previous studies, we are discounting A Practical Guide to Family Worship on our website. Just visit https://shop.mediagratiae.org/products/family-worship-study-guide-bundle to get your copy.

Next week, we will not present to you a previously published study, but something brand new!
