  • Jeremy is joined by his wife April and their friends Jess and Brittany to react to a couple of recent Youtube videos about family and daughters in particular.

    First they tackle the question, how do we raise daughters differently from sons, particularly from the Family Teams perspective?

    Then they dive into the trad wife movement and ask what sort of contingency plans women should have in case the men in her life all let her down.

    This is a highly nuanced and important conversation to have from a Christian perspective to compare it to the modern, anti-God cultural story we're being told.

    On this episode, we talk about:

    0:00 Intro

    0:41 Topics

    2:03 Reaction Clip 1: Marriage and Childbirth Culture in China

    10:49 How do we raise daughters differently?

    19:02 The biggest story wins

    25:46 Should women create contingency plans in case every man in her life fails her?

    27:55 Reaction Clip 2: Trad wife movement and contingency plans

    35:02 Why Christian wives aren't thinking about contingency plans

    40:32 Fathers as contingency plans when daughters are in need

    52:06 "We roll deep."

  • Jeremy and April Pryor are joined by Annalisa Barraza, Holly Worley, and Jess Gonyea to discuss two topics surrounding motherhood and femininity, all through the Family Teams lens.

    First they react to whether there's a place for women to "be" in the family, when compared to working outside the home. Our culture has put "self-expression" as the highest virtue, but can we as Christians really buy into that?

    Next, they comment on the reality of a woman's biological clock (in reaction to a Brett Cooper video). Even in Christian circles, nobody is talking to young women about the reality of fertility, aging, and the process leading up to having kids, and it's creating a tragic epidemic of "unplanned childlessness".

    These are the conversations we need to be having to point people back to Truth, Reality, and Christ in a world that's absolutely bent on distorting it all in order to do violence to the family as a vehicle for God's will.

    On this episode, we talk about:

    1:34 Does the "Christian right" need more of a vision for women than being a wife and mother?

    5:34 Moms react...is there a place for women to "be" in a family setting?

    20:23 The cultural lie that "self-expression" is the ultimate goal

    22:48 The Proverbs 31 woman as a vision for mothers and wives

    30:35 Brett Cooper on The Reality of a Woman's Biological Clock

    40:54 The pill, society's view of children, and "babymoons"

  • Jeremy Pryor is joined by Chris Cirullo and Reilly Pilgrim to talk about inheritance.

    Inheritance is one of those issues that has been dealt with intentionally and maturely in many cultures for millennia...but Christians are generally really bad at understanding this. However, we can see by looking at the broader cultural narrative in which we live that it's actually liberalism as a worldview that is destroying our idea of inheritance and causing so much confusion for fathers and resentment for adult children.

    We'll dive into what responsible inheritance looks like in Family Teams, and how to navigate the question around stewarding resources over multiple generations.

    On this episode, we talk about:

    1:24 Is inheritance a blessing or curse?

    3:48 Set your kids up for multigenerational success with business and opportunity (reaction to Myron Golden)

    17:49 Jeff Goldlum is not planning to give his kids any money...is he right? (reaction to Michael Knowles)

    26:07 What if your kids don't want to be on your team?

    39:45 Are you prepared to be the CEO of your family?

  • Jeremy is joined by his wife April, Kristin Netting, and Jess Gonyea to talk motherhood and parenting advice, specifically in reaction to some of the ultra-popular mainstream parenting influencers giving their opinions out there.

    Can the advice of parenting "experts" like Dr. Becky Kennedy be reconciled with a Biblical worldview? Is it helpful? How do we know what parts are helpful and which are harmful?

    0:49 Processing Dr. Becky's parenting advice through a Biblical lens

    2:18 The difference between making a request and setting a boundary

    21:13 Parenting from the belief that your child is innately good

    36:57 Are our kids destined for shame and failure if we don't believe they're "good inside"?

  • Jeremy Pryor is joined by his children Jackson, Sydney, and Elisa to talk about debt, and how young people today are getting so easily sucked into making horrible financial decisions that often lead to LITERALLY giving up their first born child as payment.

    They do all this by dissecting the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin, which is absolutely packed with symbolism that we can use to glean wisdom from for today.

    Learn the sad reality of why most young people get into debt, the various forces out there looking to "get" us (and our future earning years...and even our sense of meaning), and what we can do about it.

    On this episode, we talk about:

    1:56 How to get the most out of fairy tales (and why they're not irrelevant today)

    5:34 The story of Rumpelstiltskin

    6:48 The point of the story...how and why debt starts

    17:00 The vulnerability of young people entering into adulthood

    20:06 The most brilliant symbol in the story...what happens when you run out of things to give?

    33:31 The happy ending that requires you knowing the name

    42:57 The gratitude your children will have if you train them and teach them about the traps of the world

  • Jeremy and April Pryor are joined by friends Donna, Brittany, and Kristin to discuss a mother's role within the family team.

    They react to Zuby's recent comments on feminism, and just how different a family team that values feminine motherhood really looks (even in Christian circles), then talk about how April has intentionally turned her kids' hearts toward Jeremy as their father.

    This is a highly practical discussion from experienced mothers who are still "in the thick of it", to give you hope to persevere and build a well-ordered, God-honouring family!

  • We're excited to continue our motherhood series! Today Jeremy is joined by Michelle Akrami, Justine Cirullo, and Jess Gonyea. They react to a recent interview with Erica Komisar, where she laid out very counter-cultural but traditionally and logically obvious truths about motherhood, shame, attachment, and the cost of feminism.

    This episode will encourage you to seek the ideal when it comes to motherhood, but to turn to the Gospel to heal the guilt or shame that can sometimes result from knowing you'll miss the ideal - a feeling that we should all be familiar with as Christians.

    On this episode, we talk about:

    1:25 How motherhood impacts all the different aspects of life

    3:55 Erica Komisar on the optimal way to raise a child

    6:39 Why can't we talk about "the ideal" anymore?

    Jeremy is joined by Phil Goodwin and Chris Cirullo to discuss Abrahamic Hospitality. Of the three Abrahamic religions, only one is commanded (in Hebrews) practice hospitality, yet it's the only one that seems to completely neglect it. That is, of course, Christianity. Why is this? How can we start to obey by hosting and rediscovering what it means to truly create a "table culture" where we bring in others and share Jesus in our homes? That's what this episode hopes to uncover, while giving you practical tips to start in your own family.

    On this episode, we talk about:

    0:35 Abrahamic Hospitality and becoming Master of the Feast

    5:01 Phil and Chris share their history and heart for hosting and hospitality

    11:17 Why does Christianity seem to be the only one of the 3 Abrahamic faiths that neglects hospitality?

    19:45 How to begin showing hospitality if you're new to this but interested in getting started

    25:07 Introducing teaching as part of hospitality

    31:41 How reading a few verses and asking a few questions can create incredibly special moments

    36:04 Take the table culture of your family seriously

    Jeremy and his wife April are excited to bring you episode 1 of our new series all about motherhood! Today we're joined by Michelle Akrami and Justine Cirullo, who just so happen to be the wives of some of our guests on the fatherhood episode side of things, Cameron Akrami and Chris Cirullo.

    The main thrust of this conversation surrounds the recent controversy about a commencement speech made by NFLer Harrison Butke, where he suggested most of the women in the crowd were most likely looking forward to marriage and motherhood, rather than using their degree in the workforce.

    We'll also dive into the transition from maiden to mother to matriarch, including real world examples.

    On this episode, we talk about:

    0:27 A momentous day for the FT Podcast...new motherhood content!

    2:07 One example of the many hysterical reactions to Harrison Butker's commencement speech

    7:48 Moms react to Harrison Butker's speech from the Family Teams perspective of family
