Celebrating The Festivals of Faith (Sukkot Edition)
The Family Teams Podcast
God is a good Father who uses holidays and festivals to disciple His children all throughout the Old Testament. But for some reason these have been lost in modern Christianity. Now, we don't HAVE to celebrate these holidays, Christ fulfills them all, BUT we've found over the past 10+ years that they are a POWERFUL tool to disciple our kids, follow God more closely, and build deep memories that impact us, our kids, and our communities for a lifetime. Here's why we like celebrating them, and a quick reminder that our Accelerator is open to join right now for September, where we'll be...

This time, they share how the fall Biblical festival of Sukkot became a unifying, joy-filled anchor for their family’s yearly rhythm. We also unpack the beautiful theology behind Sukkot: dwelling outside reminds us that “this earth is not our home,” pointing our eyes to our true forever home...

Why "Consent" Is The False Religion Sterilizing Future Generations
The Family Teams Podcast
Jeremy reacts to a viral Tweet explaining the difference between a mom's conservative and liberal child. He explains why we needed to invent some moral framework for society after Christian ethics were broadly discarded, and why our culture is suddenly anti-life after choosing "consent" as the moral framework. This new "religion" doesn't value life, and is leading to the sterilization of the next generation. Seriously consider what you can do about it as he explains at the end of the episode. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 2:26 The Tweet 5:12 Ideas really matter 7:00 When the...

How To Get The Bible Into Your Family
The Family Teams Podcast
This is a question we get asked often. How do I introduce/share/read the Bible to my family? Sharing the Bible with your kids is extremely important, but in such a busy world, it's often one of the things that gets pushed to the backburner. We highly recommend putting some real time and energy into this...not many things are more important. This is part 1 (the Pryor family experience with younger and older kids). Part 2 comes next week when the Akrami family will give us their best tips. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 2:11 Reading the Bible as a family with little kids 9:53...

How To Not Raise Entitled Kids (No Matter How Much you Bless Them)
The Family Teams Podcast
One of the most common questions I get is, "how do we raise our kids who aren't entitled...especially if we've had success in some aspects of life?" And it makes sense. Most of us are who we are because of the struggles we've had to endure to get here. We value what we have, we aren't entitled. But...so many kids (and adults) these days are. Why? It turns out there's one very basic (but countercultural) thing you can do that will allow you to bless your kids to the moon and back without them becoming entitled. Listen in as Jeremy and April teach us how to make sure our kids turn out like the...

Conquer Family Chaos With This Unexpected Tool
The Family Teams Podcast
What if you could take the most chaotic thing in your life and turn it into something that actually creates peace in your home? This month in the Family Teams Accelerator, we're talking about how to use this one unexpected tool usually found in the most boring parts of a business, to turn chaos into clarity at home. That tool? Standar Operating Procedures (SOPs). This is how you train your kids to do what you want them to do. It's how you lead them into actually rising to the level of high expectations. It's how you take the chaos and uncertainty out of teaching them how to behave and how to...

The Only Way To Build A Healthy Family Culture
The Family Teams Podcast
It's the problem we see most often...an active, engaged mom who's trying to lead the family, and a passive dad who's abdicated his leadership. This does NOT work. Mom MUST use her gifts to complementarily help Dad lead. Dad MUST step up and start leading. This shared vision is crucial for family culture and how your kids (and marriage) turn out. Jeremy and April break this idea down by reacting to a couple of clips that show the importance of dad leading for the greater, common good. This will challenge you, but after so many years helping so many families, this is THE way to build your...
info_outlineHow do you care for a new mother? How do you care for a family?
If you're a citizen of the West, the answer is basically: you don't.
There's no recognition, value, or care for family anymore.
Yet there is an ancient way that most of humanity for most of time has followed that helps mothers and families thrive as multi-generational teams.
That way is still kept in places like Uganda, which Jeremy and April discuss today.
Can you even imagine this kind of support?
And if you didn't receive this support, don't worry...you get to be the one to choose to build this type of family downstream, and the work starts today as you build relationship with your children.
Stand at the crossroads and choose the ancient path.
On this episode, we talk about:
