500-Year Vision: Austin Ruse on Building a Catholic Family Dynasty in "Not Just for Kings"

View descriptionShare
 

How do we protect, cultivate, and project our families through the generations in an increasingly anti-family culture? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes Austin Ruse—President of the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam), founder of the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, and columnist for The Catholic Thing—to discuss his book, Not Just for Kings: Cultivating a 500-Year Vision for Your Family (Sophia Institute Press).

Ruse shares how attending a young woman’s packed funeral inspired him to study how noble, wealthy, and deeply faithful families transmit their legacies across centuries. He and Dr. Craycraft unpack key "secrets" from the book—including fecundity, stability, intention, magnanimity, and the power of "kith and kin." Ruse also highlights Chapter 22, featuring Cincinnati’s own Teller family and their remarkable journey from Buddhism to Catholicism, religious vocations, and a multi-generational legacy of faith.
