Kevin Swanson explains in this short audio clip that one benefit of family-integrated churches is that it creates a transparency amongst the congregation and within the family. Everyone is in the same room, worshipping God and learning from His Word. Children see their parents in the church singing hymns, fellowshipping with other believers, and studying Scripture.

Ephesians 4:14-16 (NKJV) - "that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love."

In our family integrated churches, I think we do have a benefit in that we have relationships. And relationships really do point out the hypocrisies that exist within the hearts of fathers and children. Family integrated churches enable us to see each other. It enables more transparency. Relationships do enable transparency.

And this is why we are starting to see a fair amount of hypocrisy rise to the surface in many of our churches.
