from The SoCon Report Podcast · host Family Policy Alliance

What if the strength of America’s future could be measured by one thing—whether families are staying together?In this episode, Craig DeRoche sits down with Mike Andrews of the Center for Christian Virtue to unpack the groundbreaking Family Structure Index—a national report measuring the health of families across all 50 states.From marriage rates and fertility trends to where families are moving—and why—the data reveals a striking reality: America’s family structure is declining, and it’s reshaping culture, economics, and public policy in real time.Together, they explore how family stability impacts everything from poverty and homeownership to education and long-term opportunity. They also break down the growing divide between states, the “great American family sort,” and what policymakers, churches, and communities can do to reverse the trend.Visit our website: https://familypolicyalliance.comVisit the Center for Christian Virtue: https://www.ccv.orgSubscribe to keep up with the latest.#familyvalues #familyindex #profamily
