## Resource

What happened to the productive household? In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Pastor Brandon Scroggins and Nick Carter unpack the biblical, historical, and practical vision of the home—not as a place of consumption, but as a center of dominion, discipleship, and joyful work under Christ’s lordship. We trace how the Industrial Revolution, modern feminism, and cultural consumerism dismantled the household—and how Christian families can begin to rebuild it from the ground up. This is not a call to nostalgia. It’s a call to obedience. 📚 Recommended Resources Teach Them to Work by Mary Beeke Durable Trades by Rory Groves The Household and the War for the Cosmos by C.R.
