The Family Teams Podcast

Jeremy and April Pryor are joined by Annalisa Barraza, Holly Worley, and Jess Gonyea to discuss two topics surrounding motherhood and femininity, all through the Family Teams lens. First they react to whether there's a place for women to "be" in the family, when compared to working outside the home. Our culture has put "self-expression" as the highest virtue, but can we as Christians really buy into that? Next, they comment on the reality of a woman's biological clock (in reaction to a Brett Cooper video). Even in Christian circles, nobody is talking to young women about the reality of fertility, aging, and the process leading up to having kids, and it's creating a tragic epidemic of "unplanned childlessness". These are the conversations we need to be having to point people back to Truth, Reality, and Christ in a world that's absolutely bent on distorting it all in order to do violence to the family as a vehicle for God's will. On this episode, we talk about: 1:34 Does the "Christian right" need more of a vision for women than being a wife and mother? 5:34 Moms react...is there a place for women to "be" in a family setting? 20:23 The cultural lie that "self-expression" is the ultimate goal 22:48 The Proverbs 31 woman as a vision for mothers and wives 30:35 Brett Cooper on The Reality of a Woman's Biological Clock 40:54 The pill, society's view of children, and "babymoons" 47:40 Integrating your entire life Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Brett Cooper Video --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

In this insightful discussion, Chris Cirullo, an expert on Christian inheritance, and Reilly Pilgrim, who explores inheritance's cultural impact, tackle the question: is inheritance a blessing or a curse? They emphasize the necessity of integrating adult children into family businesses for lasting success and critique modern parenting's influence on family legacies. The duo underscores the vital role fathers play in instilling ambition and nurturing spiritual values while advocating for a cooperative family environment that values both financial and character legacies.

Jeremy is joined by his wife April, Kristin Netting, and Jess Gonyea to talk motherhood and parenting advice, specifically in reaction to some of the ultra-popular mainstream parenting influencers giving their opinions out there. Can the advice of parenting "experts" like Dr. Becky Kennedy be reconciled with a Biblical worldview? Is it helpful? How do we know what parts are helpful and which are harmful? On this episode, we talk about: 0:49 Processing Dr. Becky's parenting advice through a Biblical lens 2:18 The difference between making a request and setting a boundary 11:00 Women react to "turning up the volume" when there's an issue in the family and both spouses need to get on board 17:41 The framework issue between modern, Western marriages and Family Teams 21:13 Parenting from the belief that your child is innately good 36:57 Are our kids destined for shame and failure if we don't believe they're "good inside"?

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.
