Has Technology CONQUERED The American Family?

Do you know why you're living the style of life you're living?

Do you know just how new it is, and what the modern western society has done to family?

It's been a long march to get here, but the results have been devastating.

Rory Groves joins us today to talk about the book their ministry is re-publishing, Henry and the Great Society, and why this is an important cultural message that we need to get into as many people's hands as possible.

This podcast cuts to the very root of what's broken about modern, western society, and yet gives hope as Rory and Jeremy discuss how to return to a more normal, family- and community-centered approach to life.
