🌿 Why The Quest for Family Matters Today
Families are struggling in ways we’ve never seen before. Nearly 50% of marriages end in divorce, leaving millions of children navigating fractured homes, shifting identities, and a deep longing for stability. At the same time, children are being shaped more by social media, peers, teachers, and online voices than by the people who share their last name.
The result?
A generation growing up disconnected from family traditions, missing the everyday rhythms that once formed the backbone of home life—shared meals, conversations around the table, learning to cook, praying together, and the simple routines that teach belonging, identity, and love. Instead of being rooted, many children grow up feeling displaced, searching for belonging in all the wrong places.
The Quest for Family speaks directly into this crisis.
