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.
