Family is the most important reality in everyone's life, whether we realize it or not.
Our father, mother, siblings, and the immediate surroundings we are born into begin to impact us the moment we are born. The environment that shapes us most is simple: it's our own family. The health of the individual and the health of society as a whole are inextricably intertwined with the quality of families.
That is why our team of Nobodies here at Breach Point puts such a huge emphasis on healthy faith, marriages, children, and family relationships.
When It Comes to Faith
- Faith strengthens marriages. Couples who attend religious services regularly are 30–50% less likely to divorce than those who do not, with one large Harvard-led study finding about a 50% lower risk of divorce among frequent attendees.
- Faith helps children flourish. Children raised in homes where faith is actively practiced—church attendance, prayer, and faith conversations—are more likely to experience stable families, better mental health, healthier behaviors, and stronger relationships as adults.
- Faith benefits individuals. Regular religious participation is consistently associated with lower rates of depression, substance abuse, crime, and suicide, along with greater happiness, purpose, and overall well-being.
- Strong faith creates stronger societies. By promoting stable marriages, engaged parenting, lower crime, better mental health, and healthier communities, religious practice contributes to stronger families—the foundational institution upon which thriving societies are built.
When It Comes to Marriage
Marriage is, quite simply, awesome.
Having a friend to go through life with—an unbreakable bond (unless you choose to break it) tied together through commitment, adventure, sacrifice, selfless love, legacy, and growing a family together till death—is by far one of the most under-appreciated gifts to humanity we have. The effects of healthy marriages for the couple, the kids born into them, and society at large cannot be overstated.
Strong marriages create strong families.
Strong families raise healthy children.
Healthy children become healthy adults.
Healthy adults build healthy societies.
When It Comes to Children
There is nothing that compares to having children and the blessings they bring into your life. The atmosphere of your home quickly turns into a unique mixture of purpose, responsibility, laughter, humor, sacrifice, love, stress, blessings, bonds, vulnerability, repentance, and having each other's back—resulting in the most uniquely wonderful, life-giving world you can imagine.
Fatherhood adds a healthy weight to a man—calling him to simultaneously grow up, work hard, and dig deep, while also making him softer, more vulnerable, and more tender in the process.
Motherhood adds a supernatural love and sacrificial purpose that nothing comes close to replicating, as she watches the child she brought into existence grow and form into a completely separate person.
Children are a blessing, and we will celebrate, protect, and sacrifice for them every step of the way. We deeply encourage people to have children and experience the blessing for themselves.
Our Goal
We will rebuild walls around the institution of the family to protect the importance of faith, marriage, and children—providing a more sacrificial and fulfilling life for individuals while promoting a much healthier society in the process. We want to show how possible, fulfilling, and realistic it is to have a healthy marriage, wonderful kids, and ultimately have a family that is the greatest source of stability, happiness, and purpose in your life.
Family has always been and will continue to be a great blessing for those that lean into it the way God intended.
