Summary
Gregory Treat discusses building "great houses"—multi-generational family structures that serve as societal pillars. Every household needs four functions: wealth creation, recruitment, productive property, and discipleship. Houses progress through three levels: a compelling vision, a sustainable household with generational transfer, and ultimately a politically relevant great house. Treat applies these principles across family, church, real estate, and business contexts, emphasizing that covenant relationships and demonstrated trust—not just legal structures—are what distinguish lasting legacy families from "new money."
