Nevermind the athiest that throws shade at the Bible about something he doesn't understand... It's a tragedy when CHRISTIANS start getting nervous about whether they can trust the Bible. This is one of those tricky issues that lack of nuance and cancel-culture-style arguments have ruined for us. NEVER let someone tell you the Bible can't be trusted because it doesn't explicitly condemn slavery. Slavery is NOT the same thing as the evil perpetrated during the transatlantic slave trade. Dive into this explosive topic with us! On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:47 Why The Bible Does Not Condemn All Forms of Slavery 12:05 The Lack of Nuance Opponents of the Bible Hold 23:21 The Bible is Profoundly Pro-Freedom Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

This is a conversation most people aren't willing to have. But it's important, and if we're going to be intellectually honest, we need to be able to ask questions, dig in to the data, and find out what's really going on in the issues of our age. One of those issues is unwanted same-sex attraction. It's no secret that society at large is pushing a "degendering" experiment, and it started decades ago with gay-affirming practices. Instead of being able to help men who struggle with this - often due to trauma - states are even trying to BAN therapists from talking about it. This may be the most honest conversation on this topic you've ever heard, and you'll learn about other resources to study further, if necessary. Thanks to Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. for his work on this topic and his willingness to share the science and data behind this touchy topic. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:04 The Nicolosi family's history helping men with unwanted same-sex attraction 7:51 Theories around same-sex attraction 12:34 Trauma and attraction development 15:38 Politics and ideology in the field of psychology 18:27 Is it possible (or even legal) for an adult male to get help if he wants to engage in a heterosexual, monogamous marriage? 20:07 Options for helping minors who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction? 22:35 Can we still have conversations about conversion therapy? 27:47 What dads need to know about raising sons who want to have families 34:18 Can men who struggle with same-sex attraction have thriving heterosexual marriages that last? 40:26 What about exceptions? 41:55 Fathers who feel immense guilt if their son struggles with same-sex attraction 43:10 Major contributing factors to male same-sex attraction 45:31 The massive social experiment of "degendering" children (and what dads can do) Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

Could this be the REAL issue underlying all of the destructive feminist, anti-family, and Gen-Z apathy we've come to know and expect from the upcoming generation? If you've ever caught yourself judging young people today, this podcast may give you a helpful counterweight as to WHY they may be the way they are. And unsurprisingly, it's all about family. As sad as it is to hear the pain most young people are in today, their answers are all wrong. The answer is not to blow it all up and tear down the institution of marriage. It's to start better families...as scary as that may be to them. Hopefully this episode with Jeremy and Sydney encourages you to be compassionate toward these people and to ensure your kids and grandkids KNOW how much they're valued, and KNOW you'll stick around no matter what. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:53 The Age of Abandonment 10:08 The real issue beneath anti-family movements? 18:46 "Therapy culture" and our obsession with self love 22:49 The best way to get over coming from a bad family is to build a better one 31:31 The best way forward is to defend and promote family, not destroy it Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

If a father is designed to point his children to God, what happens when he breaks a promise? It shakes the foundation of what a child believes about the world and about God. This is why a father especially, but everyone inside of a family, must make...and KEEP...promises. Ultimately, a kept promise in a family points everyone to God, who makes and keeps promises abundantly, all throughout Scripture. In this episode, Jeremy Pryor reads a new section of his book, The Ruling Household, and discusses the implications with his wife April, including why the Biblical framework of promises points to a necessary patriarchal structure. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:06 Becoming a promise-keeping patriarch 7:47 The stability of a father's promise 15:57 A father rescues from rash promises 18:01 The Bible advocates for a patriarchal structure 22:44 Why dads must be more than just playful friends to their kids Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

Marriage, monogamy, the family, and children are under attack. But there's so much information, so many posts, infinite news articles...all coloring our vision and distracting us, which means it's hard to pinpoint exactly what went wrong, and where. Jeremy and Conn Carroll discuss the history of monogamous marriage, the results of the last few centuries of liberty-obsessed philosophers, and what we can do to turn the tide to save marriages, birth rates, and families in America. Conn Carroll is the author of Sex and the Citizen: How the Assault on Marriage Is Destroying Democracy, and is the Commentary Editor for the Washington Examiner.

The 2024 election was really a contest between the masculine and the feminine. Trump represents the hyper-masculine in a number of ways we'll get into in this podcast, whereas Kamala represented the hyper-feminine (perhaps not personally, but on a policy and partisan level). What are the impacts of a nation voting for symbolically masculine leadership and rejecting toxic empathy?

If, as Christians, we are going to combat wokeness, then we must accurately and succinctly define the term. In this episode, Jeremy and his daughter Sydney find and discuss a specific definition of "woke" that may allow us to better understand what we are up against, and how to best combat it with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
