Celebrating The Festivals of Faith (Sukkot Edition)
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 giving you a full "how to" so you can celebrate your first Biblical holiday - Sukkot - this October without any stress!

Why We Celebrate This BIBLICAL Fall Festival (And How You Can Start)

Why We Celebrate This BIBLICAL Fall Festival (And How You Can Start)
I want to show you why celebrating a week outside in a handmade booth becomes the most unforgettable family tradition - without feeling like a chore. We’re joined by community coaches Brent and Katie Kruithoff, who previously helped us learn to celebrate spring holidays like Passover and Pentecost. 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 with God in heaven. Ready to reimagine how your family marks time? Tune in to be inspired, equipped, and excited to build traditions that echo into eternity - and learn how to start small, stay consistent, and celebrate big.

Why "Consent" Is The False Religion Sterilizing Future Generations
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.

How To Get The Bible Into Your Family
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.

How To Not Raise Entitled Kids (No Matter How Much you Bless Them)

How To Not Raise Entitled Kids (No Matter How Much you Bless Them)
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 Sea of Galilee (abundant, full of life), not the Dead Sea (salty and dead!). On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 3:23 The one move that ensures your kids will not become entitled, no matter how much you bless them 11:43 Answering the biggest critique 23:49 What it's like having your daughters embrace motherhood right away 32:21 "It is as it should be."

Conquer Family Chaos With This Unexpected Tool
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 perform the tasks you want them to perform. And it's way simpler than you think (otherwise there's no way we'd do it!). In this episode Jeremy sits down with Blake and Chandler Smith, next month's community coaches inside the Accelerator, to give you a taste of what's to come. Make sure to sign up to join us in the Accelerator this month to get help applying this in your home: On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 3:55 SOPs are not just boring business things 7:58 Embracing work tools in the home? 14:00 Example SOP (Getting The Kids Ready To Go And In The Car) 19:22 The importance of practice and drills 24:12 Should you really introduce SOPs into your home?

The Only Way To Build A Healthy Family Culture
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 family, because it is GOD'S way to build your family.

The One Metric To Heal The Broken Western Family
What if there was one, single, metric we could track to tell whether or not we were actually on track to restoring God's vision for family? There's a lot of noise, a lot of competing priorities in the world, BUT... I think we've found one metric. We call it: 3 Generations, 1 Table, Every Week. If you can build this rhythm into your family, it's almost inevitable that you'll become a multi-generational family team. This episode covers exactly what this metric is, and how to achieve it.

At first it doesn't sound exciting, and, you might actually think you HATE this idea, but trust us, we've been doing this for years and it has made ALL the difference. For dad, it turns you into a leader. For mom, it stops you from having to be the leader and be the only one who cares about what's going on in the family.

The Ancient Ugandan Motherhood System That's Way Better Than The Nuclear Family
How 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.

The natural, Biblical progression for a woman's life is to go from Maiden to Mother to Matriarch. Each of these are seasons, and they're glorious in the way God guides us through them. But...our culture HATES that last step. Nobody is aspiring to grandmotherhood. The idea seems to be to go BACK to maiden after motherhood.

This feminine superpower is designed to build relational connectivity and love in big, multigenerational families, but is often misunderstood and completely ignored in the modern world. Jeremy discusses the ideal use for this in a large family and how it is such a blessing to husbands and the entire family, but also shows why it's so maligned these days.

How To Raise Kids Who Want To Become Parents
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.

How (And Why) To Celebrate Biblical Holidays This Spring
One of our favorite ways to disciple our kids - while having a ton of fun - is to celebrate the 7 Biblical feasts. They're not just for Jewish people...they all prefigure Christ, and are an amazing opportunity to talk about the Gospel to our kids on an annual rhythm. This month's focus in the Family Teams Accelerator is how to lean into the 4 Spring Festivals, and in this episode we give you a sneak peak into some of our tips and rhythms, as well as what to expect as you begin to celebrate things like Passover, Shavuot, etc. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:39 It's Odd That Most People Don't Live Spiritual Seasons 1:32 The 4 Biblical Spring Holidays 3:49 Why Celebrate These Holidays 4:31 How The Pryor's Have Developed Their Family Festival Celebrations 10:56 These Festivals Are All About Christ 17:30 How To Celebrate Passover 24:10 Family Shavuot Celebrations 27:12 Join The Accelerator This Month!

Building A Family Economy with Rory Groves

Building A Family Economy with Rory Groves
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 work, family, economy, and more. They look ahead at the next few years and what to expect with AI, and Rory gives an overview of his book Durable Trades as a way to defend your family against the likely devastation that's incoming. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:05 Rory's Journey From Programming To Farming 5:55 Did God Design Family To Work Together? 8:07 The Industrial Revolution...Disaster? 17:53 The Economic Implications of a Family-Centered Life 23:12 The Family as The Basic Economic Unit 29:36 How Important is Land? 31:01 How To Launch Into A Family Economy 35:14 The Future of AI and How Families Can Properly Defend Themselves 41:30 Family Worship Rhythms Follow Family Teams: Facebook: Instagram: Website: Resources Mentioned: Family Life by Kevin Swanson: The Natural Family by Allan Carlson: Durable Trades by Rory Groves: The Grovestead Newsletter: Gather and Grow: Family Inc: --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Is It Worthwhile To Invest In A Family Legacy? (Hormozi Reaction)
Is it pointless to try to leave a family legacy when your great grandkids probably won't even know who you are? That's what business influencer Alex Hormozi said recently. "Just help people now, don't worry about a family legacy", is essentially his argument. Reilly Pilgrim and Chris Cirullo join Jeremy to discuss whether this is the right way to think about this as Christians building Family Teams. Jeremy shows us that the Bible actually explicitly answers this question. You might be surprised to find out where!

Reacting To Bogus Modern Parenting Trends (With Biblical Wisdom)
Modern parenting experts are saying some pretty bizarre things. Is it truly good for children to get a sense that they're not in charge? Or does parental authority somehow limit their freedom of expression? Is the chief aim of parenting to create a "safe" environment for our kids? Should we force our kids to create their own version of good and evil? We answer these questions and more on today's podcast. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:45 How does authority interact with children? 1:41 Dr. Becky Talks Authority 11:55 Gabor Mate on 3 Modes of Parenting 20:10 The Issue With Parenting As An American 24:27 The Collapse of Parenting 31:24 Feeling-Driven Parenting 34:21 Parenting Prosperity Gospel?
