“This month, we are focusing on the family. But the question is: which family? Most of us are part of many—our immediate biological family, extended relatives, and most importantly, the family of grace, the community of believers to which we all belong (Ephesians 2:19).

As we reflect on family, we must also consider the external forces that affect it—policies, economics, and global shifts that reach across borders and disrupt relationships, hopes, and livelihoods.
