As Mike Winger explained in his recent conversation with Naomi, you don’t kick your family out because they’re not Christians. Scripture actually gives the opposite guidance. For example, when a wife has an unbelieving husband, she’s counseled to stay and love him—to do everything she can to make it work. The same applies if the roles are reversed.

So, even if you were seen as rejecting your group's faith or not belonging in the group's church, they still should maintain the family relationship. That doesn’t change. (Unless abuse is present. That's would be a different conversation.)

Even when a Church decides to excommunicate a person, that doesn’t mean they’re excommunicated from their family. That bond remains. And in spiritual abuse settings, that distinction often gets erased.
