Do Institutions Matter?

Episode 27 makes the case for why institutions matter. The brothers and their dad talk through what an institution actually is, why God himself established the family, the government, and the church, and what gives institutions the staying power that movements often lack. The conversation also considers why so many young people distrust anything big and established, the hard and worthwhile work of revitalizing an existing church, and the call to steward these institutions well and hand them to the next generation.The Akin Huddle Podcast is presented by Southern Seminary.
