Jeremy is joined today by Jonathan Holmes to talk about why identity is such a hot topic today, and what it means for us as Christian parents of kids facing enormous cultural pressure.
How do we give our kids a gospel-centric identity in Christ? Do we need to spend more time and effort building a family identity to combat peer-pressured identity formation? How can the church start to take back ground on gender, identity, and the Christian sexual ethic?
These topics are hard to talk about, because so many people want to focus solely on the exceptions to the rule, and forgo talking about the general teaching, so it was a blessing to wrestle deeply with these issues with Jonathan.
This conversation needs to be happening way more often, especially for those of us with children being impacted by an outside world heavily influenced by the enemy.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:38 Why is "identity" such an important topic today?
4:32 Identity in the gospel
10:06 Peers vs family in the identity-formation process
14:17 Practical tips to ground your children in a Christ-centered identity
19:30 Can family identity cure a lack of identity culturally?
30:07 Competing ideas about gender, and how the Church should respond
35:47 Family vs individual consequences of "gender identity"
41:57 The narrow sexual ethic of the Bible

Jeremy is joined by his wife April, and friends Michelle Akrami and Brittany Stewart to discuss the story of Rebekah, Isaac's wife, in Genesis.
How does this story of a mother and her two sons impact our view of motherhood? Did God work through her trying to do things "her way", or did God work in spite of her attempt to ensure her favorite son was blessed?
Whatever the implications, we hope this episode gives you pause to think through what the meta narrative is telling us, and allows you to approach Scripture in a thoughtful and curious way to really let it sink in.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
0:54 First Pryor granddaughter!
2:30 Rebekah as a mother in Genesis
11:55 Moms react to Rebekah
19:39 Did Rebekah help or attempt to hinder God's plan?
40:38 What can moms take away from Rebekah?

In a culture that constantly attacks manhood and faith, how do we help our boys as they transition into manhood?
How does a father maintain influence in his son's life amidst the chaos of social media, friends, and sports?
Today Jeremy is joined by Stephen Meeks, author of Save The Boys. Stephen helps fathers take their sons through an initiatory rite of passage so that they become men in the best sense of the word.
This process is powerful enough to eliminate the "rebellious teenage years" in a family, because it fosters such connection and responsibility.
Learn what we face as dads in the modern age, plus the CORE process Stephen helps dads lead their boys through, and get equipped to raise your boys into men.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:38 What is Save The Boys?

7:25 Why Are There Certain Age-Related Inflection Points in Our Relationships With Our Kids?

It's strange to us that so many conservative Christians hold up the "nuclear family" as an ideal. The nuclear family has failed, and needs to be replaced.
Now, before you think we've gone crazy, let's talk about what it needs to be replaced by...
The TRADITIONAL (or, in Family Teams-speak, the "MULTI-GENERATIONAL") Family.
There's a huge difference.
Jeremy is joined by Tyler Graham and Chris Cirullo to talk about what that difference is, and how to get back to a Biblical blueprint of family that builds up and blesses, rather than tears down and destroys.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:15 Should we really be defending the "Nuclear Family"?
4:37 "The nuclear family has failed" article
11:25 The paradigm shift from modern to traditional family
22:12 Does the nuclear family actually work?
27:31 The traditional family was a business enterprise
31:17 Multiple generations in DAILY contact
33:11 Traditional family as part of a broader congregation
43:09 Do you believe family is a vehicle?

In this episode of the Family Teams Podcast (Motherhood Edition!), Jeremy and April are joined by Annalisa Barraza and Miranda Foust to discuss the countercultural idea of women actually enjoying motherhood. Then, the group reacts to a short clip from The Spillover podcast and discuss whether we should be sending our kids to preschool.
We hope you notice that, yes, our ideas are often counterintuitive, but it's because something is desperately wrong with the way our culture is doing family. Our goal is to have honest and challenging conversations so that you as a listener can consider things from a new, and hopefully Biblical and multigenerational light. It's not always easy to have these conversations, but it's so worth it if we're going to raise up families that glorify God.
On this episode, we talk about:
00:00 Intro
01:43 Celebrating Kyra's Birthday
03:56 Annalisa's Unexpected Response on Motherhood
06:54 The Struggle Against The Flesh as a Mother
14:26 Maintaining A Joyous Perspective in Motherhood When Things Are Hard
18:12 Encouraging Other Mothers
25:21 The Lifelong Joy of Motherhood

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

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

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)

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?
On this episode, we talk about:
0:49 Processing Dr. Becky's parenting advice through a Biblical lens
2:18 The difference between making a request and setting a boundary
11:00 Women react to "turning up the volume" when there's an issue in the family and both spouses need to get on board

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 Pryor is joined by Chris Cirullo and Phil Cotnoir to react to the recent interview between Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk, specifically focusing on Elon's personal experience with the woke transgender mind virus, and his vow to destroy it.

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?
14:03 Erica Komisar on guilt and shame
18:34 Why is comfort suddenly the aim of our life?
25:26 Erica Komisar on a mother's instinct for empathy
29:42 Disordered attachment and a resistance to dying to self
38:22 Allowing motherhood to change you
