Could this be the REAL issue underlying all of the destructive feminist, anti-family, and Gen-Z apathy we've come to know and expect from the upcoming generation?

If you've ever caught yourself judging young people today, this podcast may give you a helpful counterweight as to WHY they may be the way they are.

And unsurprisingly, it's all about family.

As sad as it is to hear the pain most young people are in today, their answers are all wrong.

The answer is not to blow it all up and tear down the institution of marriage.

It's to start better families...as scary as that may be to them.

Hopefully this episode with Jeremy and Sydney encourages you to be compassionate toward these people and to ensure your kids and grandkids KNOW how much they're valued, and KNOW you'll stick around no matter what.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

0:53 The Age of Abandonment

10:08 The real issue beneath anti-family movements?

18:46 "Therapy culture" and our obsession with self love

22:49 The best way to get over coming from a bad family is to build a better one

31:31 The best way forward is to defend and promote family, not destroy it

If a father is designed to point his children to God, what happens when he breaks a promise?

It shakes the foundation of what a child believes about the world and about God.

This is why a father especially, but everyone inside of a family, must make...and KEEP...promises.

Ultimately, a kept promise in a family points everyone to God, who makes and keeps promises abundantly, all throughout Scripture.

In this episode, Jeremy Pryor reads a new section of his book, The Ruling Household, and discusses the implications with his wife April, including why the Biblical framework of promises points to a necessary patriarchal structure.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:06 Becoming a promise-keeping patriarch

7:47 The stability of a father's promise

15:57 A father rescues from rash promises

18:01 The Bible advocates for a patriarchal structure

22:44 Why dads must be more than just playful friends to their kids

Marriage, monogamy, the family, and children are under attack.

But there's so much information, so many posts, infinite news articles...all coloring our vision and distracting us, which means it's hard to pinpoint exactly what went wrong, and where.

Conn Carroll is the author of Sex and the Citizen: How the Assault on Marriage Is Destroying Democracy, and is the Commentary Editor for the Washington Examiner.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

2:13 The history of marriage

15:15 The consequence of hyper-individualism and the state of monogamous marriage today

35:18 Shifting the philosophical foundation of culture

The 2024 election was really a contest between the masculine and the feminine.

Trump represents the hyper-masculine in a number of ways we'll get into in this podcast, whereas Kamala represented the hyper-feminine (perhaps not personally, but on a policy and partisan level).

What are the impacts of a nation voting for symbolically masculine leadership and rejecting toxic empathy?

Jeremy and Sydney dive into 3 reflections on this election as it related to family and gender danymics

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

0:55 Waiting to discuss certain things until after the election

1:52 Masculine Men + Feminine Women vs. Masculine Women + Feminine Men

8:28 Gender dynamics in the 2024 presidential election

18:39 Without a Royal Family, the Presidency becomes the symbolic ruling family

25:51 Should government be modelled after God's design for family?

Dave Ramsey says kids don't owe their parents anything.

Is that true?

Is it Biblical?

Jeremy is joined by his daughter Sydney to discuss the answer to this question from a Christian, multi-generational family perspective.

Turns out the key distinction lies in the difference between the western idea of justice and guilt and the eastern idea of honour and shame.

Learn why fostering an honor culture in your family is so critical!

00:00 Intro

2:00 Do our kids really not owe us anything for raising them? (Dave Ramsey Reaction)

7:14 Why Dave Ramsey is wrong about kids not owing their parents

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.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:21 The Patriarch With The Longest Vision Wins (new chapter from Jeremy's book)

4:02 A patriarch is a father following a vision

10:50 Casting a vision for your descendants

13:23 You're a part of something way bigger than you

21:24 When vision is thematic and about deepening your faith

24:36 The importance of developing your family mission and vision alongside Scripture and prayer

How do we stop tech creep in our families?

More friction!

Jeremy and April Pryor discuss "The Tower of Technology", a chapter from Jeremy's new book, The Ruling Household.

They talk about the risk of technology becoming the new Tower of Babel, the risk "urban monocultures" pose to family life, and whether the Babylon in Revelation 19 is actually symbolic of the modern city itself.

This is another call to intentionally consider where you live, how you live, and how you interact with technology. God gave us a mission as families...let's not miss our chance to fulfill it!

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:51 Kids are given an iPad in Kindergarten?!

3:08 The Tower of Technology (excerpt from Jeremy's book)

12:40 A modern experience of the Tower of Babel

21:19 Urban monocultures in Revelation 19?

30:50 Urban centres crush family

35:38 Should Christians be living in cities?

Jeremy is joined by Steve Manuel to discuss a highly charged topic - what happened in Israel on October 7, specifically from a symbolic perspective.

After struggling to grapple with the overall tragedy and significance especially of a particular hostage's murder, Jeremy went down a rabbit hole to better understand the festival at which these events took place.

What he found was a shock, because it was eerily similar to the many times God warned Israel in the Old Testament

On this episode, we talk about:

1:25 October 7 from the perspective of the festival that was attacked in Israel
