The State of Today's Family

No reviews

Discover how modern families are changing - and how the church can support their resilience.

Families have always shaped values, nurtured habits, and influenced faith across generations. But today’s households look different than ever before—marriages are delayed, parenting is being redefined, and countless cultural voices compete for attention.

In The State of Today’s Family, Barna uncovers the realities families face inside and outside the Church—and what leaders can do to help them thrive.

What you’ll learn:

• Why the traditional nuclear family is no longer the norm—and what that means for ministry.

• How financial stress, career shifts and mental health challenges are reshaping marriage and parenthood.

• Where churches often overlook singles, single parents and blended families.

• The key traits of resilient families—and how to strengthen more of them.

This study is both a reality check and a hopeful roadmap. Packed with surprising data and practical insights, it equips you to understand modern families and help them flourish with faith and resilience.

Stronger families make a stronger Church.
