What Are We Training Our Children to Love? with Keith McCurdy

Augustine argued that many of our biggest problems come not from loving bad things, but from loving good things in the wrong order. In this episode, Davies Owens sits down with counselor and Live Sturdy president Keith McCurdy to talk about the “ordering of loves” and why it impacts everything from marriage health to family culture to kids who flourish.

Keith walks through a common modern pattern: world, kids, family, marriage, God, and why that order quietly drains families. Then he offers a clear, biblical alternative and a few simple practices that can create real change without turning your life upside down.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

• Why family stress often traces back to a foundation problem, not a scheduling problem
• The difference between work life balance and work life harmony
• Why “date night” can fail, and what works better for exhausted parents
• Three small rhythms that rebuild connection fast: weekly calendar syncs, daytime dates, and a tech free last hour
• Why healthy families learn to say no to good things to protect what is best

If you feel like you are doing a lot of good things but still not cultivating a truly connected home, this episode will help you reset the order and start rebuilding with hope, clarity, and simple steps you can try this week.
