This is our church home and community — the co-laborers walking with us in every bit of this. Boots on the ground, shoulder to shoulder, helping our household grow.
Households radiating the light of Jesus, on every street. A disciple-making church in the Twin Cities built around households rather than a traditional congregation. Their vision: to glorify God by multiplying worshipers of Jesus, healthy households, and healthy churches — equipping every man, woman, and child to obey Jesus in everyday life and help others do the same.

Family Teams has given us more practical help with family and household than anyone else. Their 7-Day Family and Skill of Fatherhood courses have been genuinely life-changing for us.

Founded by Jeremy Pryor and friends, Family Teams recovers the vision of the family as a team — with a coach, a mission, traditions, and a culture, built to last across the generations.

The house-church training arm of the Family Teams world, focused on discipling whole households. Their work shapes so much of what we are doing in the life of Light House.
Spread the gospel. Build community. Multiply disciples. In and through your home. 1000 Houses trains households to become forward operating outposts of the Kingdom — aiming for a thousand disciple-making homes in every city.

We found the Groves on a Family Teams podcast — and they are just an hour south of us. I love that they are helping families swap consumerism for team production; it builds character, skill, and a real team. The Family Economy book is a great place to start.
Gather people and grow things. Rory and Becca Groves help families rebuild the “Family Economy” — trading consumer dependence for productive households where the family works, makes, and grows together. Rory is the author of Durable Trades and The Family Economy.

A book designed to help raise sons but is one of my favorite resources on manhood and masculinity. It kills two birds with one stone. How do I raise sons distinctly and how do I become a godly man.

The best book I've read on making radically ordinary hospitality a feature of a godly household. This takes neighboring to the next level. Rosaria is a fantastic writer and this book is life-changing.
What did God use to draw a radical, committed unbeliever to himself? Did God take her to an evangelistic rally? Or, since she had her doctorate in literature, did he use something in print? No, God used an invitation to dinner in a modest home, from a humble couple who lived out the gospel daily, simply, and authentically.

One of my favorite parenting principles came from this book: "Say what you mean and mean what you say." This book helps empower us to take correction seriously. It is simple and profound. This has stayed with me for 10+ years.
