Drawing on a diverse group of religious families in America, this podcast seeks to inspire a deeper understanding of varied religious families, greater human unity, and inter-religious dialogue. We explore how religious families draw on their spiritual beliefs, religious practices, and faith communities to help them strengthen their marital relationships and their parenting.
We desire to bless “all the families of the earth” (Gen. 12:3) as we share what we have discovered.
Join us for future episodes where we discuss the strengths in diverse American families of faith.
This podcast features conversations about faith and family life between the Co-directors of the American Families of Faith project (http://AmericanFamiliesofFaith.byu.edu) Dr. David Dollahite and Dr. Loren Marks. This podcast is edited, syndicated, and marketed by Laura McKeighen, the Intellectual Products Coordinator for the American Families of Faith project.

How Many Religious Families Thrived During COVID | Audio Article 47
"Imagine yourself, several years from now, having a conversation with your five-year-old child or grandchild. They look up at you with shining eyes and ask,
'[Mom/Dad/Grandma/Grandpa], what was it like in 2020?'
Wow, what a loaded question.
What would your reaction be? How would you respond? Would you tell them about the natural disasters and the political tension? Would you joke about the toilet paper shortage and the empty shelves at the grocery store? Would you share the fears and worries you faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic?
As you rattle on about the complexities of 2020, your child/grandchild interrupts you and asks, 'But wasn’t there anything good that happened during COVID?'
This question is the same one we pose to you."
Laura McKeighen reads the article, "How Many Religious Families Thrived During COVID" which was originally published in Public Square Magazine on April 12, 2023.
