How To Raise Kids Who Want To Become Parents
The Family Teams Podcast
The decision to have kids - or, more commonly these days, to NOT have kids - isn't just some random decision your kids make. It comes after years of seeing how you treat fatherhood and motherhood. Whether you value it. Whether you've taught them the importance of their gender and how God intentionally created them that gender, and that He loves certain things about that gender. If you value family, having kids, and obeying God, then you need to actually train your kids to WANT to become parents. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:23 Raising Kids Who Want to Become Parents 3:05...

The Family Teams Podcast
Jeremy is joined by Rory Groves, who moved his family to a homestead 12 years ago and eventually quit his software engineer job to build a family economy. They talk about the implications of the industrial revolution and how anti-family (and anti-God) it is, and how families can start to make the mindset shift to build a family economy in a modern world. There are some really fundamental, theological questions that require wrestling with, because so many Christians today give up some fundamental arguments to the secular world, and Jeremy and Rory break many of these down around topics like...
