We Are Family

The 1979 song, "We Are Family", celebrated family. Whether it is our nuclear family, our extended family, or our faith family, we would do well to honor them rightly and celebrate them well!

Episode 5 of the Ken Winter podcast, hosted by Ken Winter, titled "We Are Family" was published on February 2, 2022 and runs 8 minutes.

We are to love one another, encourage one another and lift one another up. We’re going to spend eternity together, so let’s learn how to live as family in the here and now!

In 1979, four sisters from Philadelphia, who together formed an R&B vocal group, released what immediately became their breakthrough album, We Are Family,(1) featuring their Grammy Award winning single under the same title. The Sledge sisters celebrated in song what it meant to be family. If you were around in that era, i would venture to say that the song immediately began to play in your head as soon as you read the title of this post! Even if your own family experience wasn’t as joyful as the lyrics in the song, you found yourself celebrating the idea of family when those notes began to play.

Our pictures of family may in fact look very different from one another in many ways, but in the way that i would say is the most important, i would hope it looks the same!
