The Father's Role: Standing Against Cultural Battering

🔥 What if going with the flow is the most dangerous thing you can do as a dad?

Jeremy Pryor is BACK for round four, and this conversation will challenge everything you thought about provision, legacy, and multi-generational family.

FULL SHOW NOTES

➡️ Why vision, will, and community are your only defense against a culture trying to exploit your kids

➡️ The biblical case against "Labanism" and lifetime wage-earning

➡️ How your son-in-law becomes your SON in a multi-generational family

➡️ Why family at 55 should be FAR better than family at 35

If you just go with the flow in today's culture, it will destroy you and your family. In this episode, Jeremy Pryor unpacks why we're living in the Age of Intentionality—where vision, will, and community are the only things standing between your kids and a world trying to exploit them. Plus, he shares why your family life should get richer as your kids grow older, and how to break free from "Labanism" to build assets that serve your family for generations.

• We live in a unique age where going with the flow will destroy your family. Intentional fatherhood requires vision, will, and thick community.
• God's five-part mission for families—be fruitful, multiply, fill, subdue, and rule—is the preloaded vision every dad can build on.
• "Labanism" is the cultural trap of lifetime wage-earning that keeps fathers dependent and unable to truly provide for their own families.
• Your son-in-law is your son. Multi-generational family means gaining more kids through marriage, not losing the ones you raised.
• Family gets better with time. What you experience with your kids at 25 should be far richer than when they were 5.
