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.

Jeremy Pryor is joined by his daughter Sydney to discuss a couple of relevant cultural topics. They react to the dystopian vision one of Obama's old campaign ads shows (which we see playing out even moreso today), then react to Louise Perry on the Triggernometry Podcast as she suggests that urban environments are killing fertility and that villages are "reproduction machines". 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. On this episode, we talk about: 0:33 Recapping July 4th in a small, cohesive town 3:07 Obama's dystopian campaign ad (and why it's actually a theological question) 13:53 The question isn't "are these things important" but "should government be doing these things?" 24:24 Louise Perry on the Triggernometry Podcast on urbanization and birth rate 28:56 Villages are like reproduction machines 34:17 What elements to consider when choosing a "village" to live in to build a multigenerational family team --- Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter. --- Resources Mentioned: The Life of Julia Ad Family Revision by Jeremy Pryor Louise Perry video --- Welcome to Jeremy Pryor's Podcast, or what I like to call, "Jeremy Pryor Unfiltered."

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.

Jeremy Pryor is joined by his daughters Sydney and Kyra to discuss important issues facing the world today. In this episode, they react to Will Storr's claim that wokeism is really just a change in the "status game" we're playing as a culture (replacing the success status game of the past few decades), then react to Ben Shapiro's discussion with Ayaan Hirsi Ali about an under-utilized proof for the existence of God.
