Andy Crouch has spent his life in three worlds—higher education, journalism and technology— without formal credentials. He studied classics at Cornell, got his Masters of Divinity at Boston University, spent a decade in campus ministry at Harvard and served as executive editor of Christianity Today. Now, he works at Praxis, a venture-building community rooted in what they call “redemptive entrepreneurship.” Along the way, he’s written some of the most influential Christian books on technology and family life of the past two decades: “Culture Making,” “The Tech-Wise Family,” and “The Life We’re Looking For.”
His wife, Catherine, is chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Swarthmore College. Their two children are grown, which makes Crouch the first subject in this series to speak from the other side of the child-rearing years. Andy paints a vision of the household broader than the nuclear family that begins before children arrive and matters long after they leave—a “formative environment to become human together.”
