In this message from our Grown Folks Faith series, Pastor James D. Gailliard teaches from Genesis 37:1–4 on the topic "Blended But Blessed."

Blended families can be a beautiful testimony of God’s grace — but they can also face unique challenges that threaten to fracture relationships. The difference between those that thrive and those that break apart often lies in how the adults handle complexities.

From Joseph’s story, Pastor Gailliard unpacks three keys for a blessed blended family:

• Impartiality — Guard your heart from favoritism and extend equal love.
• Immaturity — Don’t let emotional preferences override your God-given parental responsibilities.
• Inclusion — Create a family culture where everyone feels seen, valued, and part of the whole.

Whether your home is blended by marriage, adoption, or life’s unexpected turns, this message will inspire you to lead with wisdom, maturity, and Christ-like love.
