Every Christian father wants to leave a legacy—but what if the greatest legacy isn't simply providing for your family, but building a productive household that bears fruit for generations?

In this episode of Gardens in Babylon, Kevin Minnett sits down with Adam Madden, author of The Productive Household, church planter, entrepreneur, and father of nine, to explore why recovering the biblical household may be one of the most important tasks facing Christians today.

Adam argues that modern families have become fragmented by culture, separating work, education, discipleship, and family life into disconnected pieces. Scripture presents a radically different vision—a household where fathers lead, mothers disciple, children participate, and the family works together to build an enduring legacy under the lordship of Christ.

Rather than offering quick business hacks or productivity tips, this conversation challenges Christians to rethink the purpose of work itself. Productivity is not ultimately about making more money—it's about faithfully stewarding God's gifts, strengthening the family, serving the local church, and extending Christ's Kingdom across generations.

Whether you're a father, pastor, church planter, entrepreneur, or simply longing to build a stronger Christian family, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a compelling biblical vision for reclaiming the household as God's primary engine for discipleship.
