How Rumpelstiltskin Can Save You From Getting Into Debt And Ruining Your Life

Jeremy Pryor is joined by his children Jackson, Sydney, and Elisa to talk about debt, and how young people today are getting so easily sucked into making horrible financial decisions that often lead to LITERALLY giving up their first born child as payment. They do all this by dissecting the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin, which is absolutely packed with symbolism that we can use to glean wisdom from for today. Learn the sad reality of why most young people get into debt, the various forces out there looking to "get" us (and our future earning years...and even our sense of meaning), and what we can do about it.

We're excited to continue our motherhood series! Today Jeremy is joined by Michelle Akrami, Justine Cirullo, and Jess Gonyea. They react to a recent interview with Erica Komisar, where she laid out very counter-cultural but traditionally and logically obvious truths about motherhood, shame, attachment, and the cost of feminism.

Abrahamic Hospitality

Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Jeremy is joined by Phil Goodwin and Chris Cirullo to discuss Abrahamic Hospitality. Of the three Abrahamic religions, only one is commanded (in Hebrews) practice hospitality, yet it's the only one that seems to completely neglect it. That is, of course, Christianity. Why is this? How can we start to obey by hosting and rediscovering what it means to truly create a "table culture" where we bring in others and share Jesus in our homes? That's what this episode hopes to uncover, while giving you practical tips to start in your own family. On this episode, we talk about: 0:35 Abrahamic Hospitality and becoming Master of the Feast 5:01 Phil and Chris share their history and heart for hosting and hospitality 11:17 Why does Christianity seem to be the only one of the 3 Abrahamic faiths that neglects hospitality? 19:45 How to begin showing hospitality if you're new to this but interested in getting started 25:07 Introducing teaching as part of hospitality 31:41 How reading a few verses and asking a few questions can create incredibly special moments 36:04 Take the table culture of your family seriously Resources Mentioned: Family Revision by Jeremy Pryor --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!
