Building A Family Economy with Rory Groves
3/13/2025
Jeremy is joined by Rory Groves, who moved his family to a homestead 12 years ago and eventually quit his software engineer job to build a family economy.
They talk about the implications of the industrial revolution and how anti-family (and anti-God) it is, and how families can start to make the mindset shift to build a family economy in a modern world.
There are some really fundamental, theological questions that require wrestling with, because so many Christians today give up some fundamental arguments to the secular world, and Jeremy and Rory break many of these down around topics like work, family, economy, and more.
They look ahead at the next few years and what to expect with AI, and Rory gives an overview of his book Durable Trades as a way to defend your family against the likely devastation that's incoming.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:05 Rory's Journey From Programming To Farming
5:55 Did God Design Family To Work Together?
8:07 The Industrial Revolution...Disaster?
17:53 The Economic Implications of a Family-Centered Life
23:12 The Family as The Basic Economic Unit
29:36 How Important is Land?
31:01 How To Launch Into A Family Economy
35:14 The Future of AI and How Families Can Properly Defend Themselves
41:30 Family Worship Rhythms

Is It Worthwhile To Invest In A Family Legacy? (Hormozi Reaction)
3/6/2025
Is it pointless to try to leave a family legacy when your great grandkids probably won't even know who you are?
That's what business influencer Alex Hormozi said recently. "Just help people now, don't worry about a family legacy", is essentially his argument.
Reilly Pilgrim and Chris Cirullo join Jeremy to discuss whether this is the right way to think about this as Christians building Family Teams. Jeremy shows us that the Bible actually explicitly answers this question. You might be surprised to find out where!
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:39 Hormozi Says Future Legacy Is Pointless
14:20 The Bible Explicitly Answers This Question
29:25 Getting A Story Of Your Family
36:09 Knowing Your Family Line

Reacting To Bogus Modern Parenting Trends (With Biblical Wisdom)

Modern parenting experts are saying some pretty bizarre things.
Is it truly good for children to get a sense that they're not in charge?
Or does parental authority somehow limit their freedom of expression?
Is the chief aim of parenting to create a "safe" environment for our kids?
Should we force our kids to create their own version of good and evil?
We answer these questions and more on today's podcast.

This Marriage Problem Is Leading To Population Collapse
1/9/2025
Jeremy's daughter, Sydney, is getting married soon, so Jeremy starts off today's episode talking about something every daughter wants to talk to their dad about:
Contraception in marriage! 😂
The whole conversation focuses on the purpose of marriage, children as a result of marriage, and what it means that most poeple in the western world today think having kids is optional.
The numbers are pretty shocking (93-98% population collapse?!), but there's a Christian response to all of this that we think you should know about.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:15 Should Having Kids Be Considered Optional?

Should Dads Really Go To Therapy?
12/26/2024
We live in a decidedly "therapeutic culture".
There are a million questions we could ask about the implications of this, especially as it relates to fatherhood and motherhood, but the one we focus on today is, "Is embracing this therapeutic culture maladaptive for men?"
Put another way, we discuss whether fathers are different enough from mothers that the question of therapy itself has to be broken down among gender lines.
As always, we believe fatherhood and motherhood are the anchor points of gender. The entire REASON for gender.
So, it makes sense that we talk about roles and how each member of the family could or perhaps even should approach therapy.
Hit play to find out if dads should approach therapy differently.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:25 Has therapeutic culture done some kind of damage to fatherhood?
2:48 Boys vs. girls talking about their feelings (Christina Hoff Summers Clip
5:55 Gender impact on therapy
8:04 Modern and ancient world collide over therapy

The Nurse Was SHOCKED At Our Daughter's Birth (Real Life Family Team Example!)
12/19/2024
Our first granddaughter is 10 days old, and we have a family story to share with you, that we hope will encourage and give hope to all of you mothers out there (and the fathers who lead family teams!).
The story you're about to hear absolutely shocked the nurse involved...but we thought it was totally normal.
It's just one more proof point to the goodness of God's ancient plan for families, and why we think the Family Teams model works so well.
This wasn't something we planned for, or even had as a goal, but our hope is that in sharing it with you, it gives you a direction and perhaps even opens your eyes for the first time to just how deeply connected you can be with the other people in your family.
On this episode, we talk about:

0:44 Why Kelsey included her mom in her birth experience

Reject Modern Parenting Trends, Accept Biblical Wisdom
12/12/2024
It is SO strange that a new parenting trend emerges every 5-10 years.
For generations, there was basically just "parenting"...passed down from one generation to another.
Multi-generational wisdom, essentially...very Family Teams.
But with the disintegration of generational families and the rise of hyper-individualism, parents these days are left to come up with their own methods, focusing a little on this, then a little on that.
Not only is it dangerous to use an untested parenting method, MOST of them that come out these days (formerly in books, now often via social media influencers), are extremely secular and certainly not wise (the fear of God being the beginning of wisdom...).
Jeremy digs into this issue, and how to root yourself in a solid Biblical understanding of fatherhood and motherhood, joined by his wife April and Donna Cheung.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
0:48 The rise of "parenting trends"
2:35 Why modern culture has led to so many different parenting philosophies (clip)
8:30 The risks of being a young mother in the information age
19:10 Why most parenting studies are bunk and how to weigh advice
26:44 Potential for deception, especially with secular parenting books

The Case For Fatherhood: Convincing A Childless Generation with Tyler Graham
12/5/2024
One of the biggest reasons for the birth rate nosedive is that people no longer hear the positive arguments for having kids.
All they hear is the constant societal push for "freedom" being the ultimate virtue. It's led to a culture of hyper-individualism, where having kids makes absolutely no sense, because kids necessarily infringe on your freedom.
In this episode, Jeremy is joined by Tyler Graham to make the case for fatherhood from 3 different angles:
1. The Benefits for You
2. The Benefits For Your Family/Business/Marriage
3. Your Duty To Have Kids
Dive in, and remember that one of the major ways you can impact your own kids and community is by constantly telling and showing everyone how great fatherhood and motherhood truly is.
On this episode, we talk about:
00:00 Intro
00:31 Making the Case for Fatherhood
02:35 The Best Possible Relationship (Jordan Peterson on Parenting)

3 Keys To Successfully Combine Family, Faith, and Business with Justin Kershaw

- Implementing a weekly Sabbath
- Integrating kids into the business
- Seeing birth order as an intentional gift from God

Did Protestants Get Contraception Wrong?
11/14/2024
Did Protestants miss something when it comes to contraception?
What about hanging our faith on a set of very defined propositions (as opposed to actions and deep inner change)?
This episode with Jeremy Pryor and Phil Cotnoir challenges a couple of oft ignored areas of growth in the Protestant church, by hearing from a couple of influential non-Christians and reacting to some fairly accurate critiques being level against the church.
We can learn about family and faith from those on the borders of Christianity or Christian ideas...but we should also be able to frame the debate properly and not be overly influenced by liberal social experiments just because the culture seems to agree with them.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
2:27 Naval Ravikant on contraception and family
5:58 Reaction to Naval's 3 points
19:18 How should Protestants approach the conversation of kids for young married couples?

How do we give our kids a gospel-centric identity in Christ? Do we need to spend more time and effort building a family identity to combat peer-pressured identity formation? How can the church start to take back ground on gender, identity, and the Christian sexual ethic?
These topics are hard to talk about, because so many people want to focus solely on the exceptions to the rule, and forgo talking about the general teaching, so it was a blessing to wrestle deeply with these issues with Jonathan.
This conversation needs to be happening way more often, especially for those of us with children being impacted by an outside world heavily influenced by the enemy.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:38 Why is "identity" such an important topic today?
4:32 Identity in the gospel
10:06 Peers vs family in the identity-formation process
14:17 Practical tips to ground your children in a Christ-centered identity
19:30 Can family identity cure a lack of identity culturally?
30:07 Competing ideas about gender, and how the Church should respond
35:47 Family vs individual consequences of "gender identity"
41:57 The narrow sexual ethic of the Bible

What Can Moms Learn From Rebekah, Isaac, Esau, and Jacob
10/31/2024
Jeremy is joined by his wife April, and friends Michelle Akrami and Brittany Stewart to discuss the story of Rebekah, Isaac's wife, in Genesis.
How does this story of a mother and her two sons impact our view of motherhood? Did God work through her trying to do things "her way", or did God work in spite of her attempt to ensure her favorite son was blessed?
Whatever the implications, we hope this episode gives you pause to think through what the meta narrative is telling us, and allows you to approach Scripture in a thoughtful and curious way to really let it sink in.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
0:54 First Pryor granddaughter!
2:30 Rebekah as a mother in Genesis
11:55 Moms react to Rebekah
19:39 Did Rebekah help or attempt to hinder God's plan?
40:38 What can moms take away from Rebekah?
