The best way to ensure you wind up where you want to be in 5, 10, or even 25 years is to have a vision. That's why we encourage dads to cast a vision for their family life. It's too easy to fall into the everyday inertia and never take a moment to consider what you'd actually like your life to look like. Where is God calling you as a family? What has He put in your heart that requires planning and intentionality? Follow Abram's journey to becoming Abraham as God lays out a massive, multi-thousand year vision through Abraham and his offspring, and follow some basic questions to start casting your vision today.

Jeremy Pryor sits down with his son Jackson and daughter Sydney to dissect the symbolic meaning of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Fairy tales are not just silly tales to distract and entertain kids...they are PACKED with meaning and "truer than fact" in the sense that they convey deep principles about how reality actually works. They're designed to warn children and help them make better decisions when faced with trials in their lives. In Goldilocks, we're faced with the girl's version of Peter Pan...the youth who never wants to grow up and accept their role and responsibility. We see the destructive nature of this within family, and the impact of a culture intent on deconstructing and changing both fairy tales and the "common sense" they bring about. On this episode, we talk about: 1:15 Introducing Goldilocks and the Three Bears (and how it relates to family and identity) 6:18 Goldilocks is about the struggle that children have to mature and fit into a family 8:29 The initial symbols to pay attention to 16:19 How a child finds her role in the family system 31:59 The collective impact of both the symbolism and the reality of this story playing out in our culture today 42:19 The risk of unintentionally inviting things into your home that are ruining your family 50:39 Why fairy tales are more important than ever today Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

Learn to see what's going on around you as government and anti-family messaging seeps into more and more areas of our life, so that you can build a thriving family...even when it seems like everything is against you.
