In this episode Jeremy and his wife April discuss Vice-Presidential Nominee JD Vance's comments about the Democratic Party being run by childless "cat ladies". This is not a partisan political conversation, but one looking to find the theological principles of family and leadership as they relate to the political realm. Jeremy and April try to answer the questions, "does leading your own family help you become increasingly qualified for leadership positions, both in the church and in government?" And "does having children give you a different kind of lens through which to see policy-level decisions that makes you more qualified?" On this episode, we talk about: 1:52 Disclaimer on political discussions 4:37 JD Vance says the Democratic party is run by childless people...offensive or important distinction? 9:28 Why this is a conversation that's important for us to have as Christians 17:14 It IS our business to question the family decisions and leadership of the most powerful people in our country 23:48 The unique challenge of high-levels of childlessness 29:37 God's curriculum for turning us into servant leaders 36:14 The two pictures of leadership Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

Join Jeremy and April as they discuss their recent shocking experience at the airport in Seattle, where they ended up helping a man traveling with a baby. It was only after the fact that they realized the depth of what they just witnessed, as they processed the information that the man was taking the 4 day old baby from his surrogate mother, and was flying to meet up with his husband.
