A husband-and-wife team put their philosophy of “We don’t quit
on family” into action, demonstrating how to combat isolation,
build healthy relationships, and fight for (not with!) the ones you
love, right where you are. When Chris and Julie Bennett and their
four kids decided to move from Norman, Oklahoma, to Los Angeles,
they knew they were setting out on a great adventure. They’d be
leaving behind the church Chris and Julie had pastored, the comfort
of their community, and the familiarity of their daily routines,
but the new city promised to bring some much-needed change. Most of
all, they looked forward to connecting with others in one of the
most disconnected cities in the United States. What they didn’t
expect was how this adventure—complicated by a cancer diagnosis,
a relapse, and a worldwide pandemic—would challenge their notions
of what it means to care for each other well, both as a nuclear
family and as part of a broader community. It turns out that
becoming family is stressful, messy, exhausting—and absolutely,
totally worth fighting for. In a time when so many suffer from
loneliness and it feels like developing authentic relationships is
impossible, Chris and Julie invite you to step into their story to
discover the fundamentals that lead to healthy, thriving families
and friendships. You’ll discover the power of embracing
vulnerability, accepting imperfection, and extending forgiveness,
while finding fulfillment through enforcing boundaries and honoring
and serving others. Whether you are looking to build your own
community from scratch or strengthen your existing connections,
Fighting for Family will inspire you to go all in on your
relationships, no matter what your circumstances.
