Jeremy Pryor gives Steven a tour of his house. As you’ll see and hear, the Pryors have thought about how to USE their property (every last foot of it!) for the sake of their family’s culture and vision, which includes having lots of people using their home as well! Marvel at the expansive front porch! Gawk at the built-in pickleball court! Amaze at the massive family gathering room… and all the thought that’s gone into every nook and fascinating cranny of this one-of-a-kind, Abrahamic, mission-inspired, multi-generational home.

In this week's episode, Steven Manuel and Mark Parrett discuss the need of obedience at home. Assuming fathers are in submission to God, how do they train their children to obey as well? And... how important is that, anyway? Isn't obedience training swimming upstream of culture, pop psychology, and just about every modern notion? Besides the fact... don't we want to get ALONG with our kids!?

There is much ballyhoo over whether dad has the right to make others obey him. "He must!" "He must never!" "He is a tyrant!" "He is a pushover!" ...but one of the most important quarters that obedience must be present is IN DAD'S HEART. Join Steven Manuel and Mark Parrett as they discuss the myriad ways that fathers must live under submission and accountability, thus exemplifying OBEDIENCE as a core family principle.

Steven Manuel joins old pal Shane Miller in this episode about what one man did to combat decades of obesity, and why this is different than any fad diet he's ever tried. He doesn't track calories, and uses the money he saves on food to buy his new wardrobe! Hear how he doesn't cut out all sodas, carbs, and desserts... and still averages 2lbs lost per week. What's the magical difference? (HINT: it's discipleship, and walking through your life with God!)

Steven Manuel and Mark Parrett discuss a long-standing social problem. With the latest Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney kerfuffle, and with Target (and other retailers) rolling out the rainbows this summer… what is the Christian playbook on protesting and boycotting products and brands that violate our conscience? Is there any recourse to just complaining or demanding these companies change their policies or messaging? It’s a hot topic… and it ain’t going away. If you’re going to lead your family, you should have an answer to this question. AND… you should have a plan for how to build something stronger than the current cultural sentiment. Join us as we discuss Chic-Fil-A, BP, and Goya Beans.
