Jeremy Pryor's Podcast

What's the big deal about thinking that people inherently struggle with wickedness in their heart (a Christian belief)? OK great, just some theology, right? Wrong. This one, seemingly innocuous question changes everything. In fact, it's at the core of the anti-Christian, anti-life, anti-wisdom movement that's unfolding with increasing speed in our world today. Jeremy and Sydney react to a couple all-time great takes by Dennis Prager, and discuss the importance of this one belief and how it shapes all of society.

Jeremy brings on his friend Kevin Rains to do a post-mortem on the ill-fated Emerging Church Movement that they were both part of. How does Gen X deal with the disappointment that so many experience over church movements that ultimately failed? Then, they get into what brought Kevin into the Orthodox Christian Church, especially as someone with a history that shares many things with Jeremy. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 2:42 What happened to the Emerging Church Movement? 19:58 Disappointment and Grieving What Could Have Been 23:22 Kevin's Journey Into The Orthodox Christian Church 30:21 The Beauty and Biggest Hangup 36:47 Mystery vs. Answering Every Question 46:40 Becoming Orthodox Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on: Instagram: https://instagram.com/jeremympryor/ X: https://x.com/jeremympryor Resources Mentioned: Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0842371524 EOS Implementor: https://www.eosworldwide.com/kevin-rains Kevin Rains on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinrains/ Christ The Savior Orthodox Church: https://www.christthesavioroca.org/ The Orthodox Faith by Fr.

In this episode, Jeremy is joined by his son Jackson and daughter Sydney to discuss whether Matt Walsh or Megyn Kelly has the upper hand in a recent online spat. Is it a new phenomenon within conservative circles that young men aren't attracted to career-driven women? Or is this just the way the world has worked since the beginning of time?

In this episode, Jeremy gives a deep dive on who Abraham was and why he is so critically important for fathers to model. In short, Abraham is the Holy Spirit-inspired description of how God interacts with fatherhood and how He thinks about family. What you think about Abraham WILL define how you see family.

This is an eclectic discussion about: Answering the problem of evil (important for all Christians to understand), The power of storytelling (why it points to the reality of God, and how important it is in parenting), Finding truth in stories in a post-Christian world (and why the new Snow White Sucks), and The parenting mistake of choosing self-esteem over courage This is a fun and wide ranging conversation that will at the very least open up you up to thinking more deeply about the media you consume, the stories you tell your kids, and hopefully even strengthen your faith.

Jeremy and Lucas Cole discuss takeaways from the ARC Conference - the new, anti-Wold Economic Forum think tank group. From an acceptance of Judeo-Christian values on the public stage, to defining the ideal, monogamous, childbearing family, to remembering that the ordinary truly is extraordinary, this is a conversation and conference that will encourage you and get the ideas turning in your head.

Jeremy is joined by his daughter Sydney Parshall (no longer Pryor!) to discuss why the left/right divide actually exists, and where each side is truly coming from so we can stop being "shocked that we're shocked" by one another. There are deep implications about politics, worldview, and government, depending on what side you find yourself, because the underpinnings of each are based on radically different ideas of the world. So, is the right immoral and the left stupid? Or is there more to it? Find out in today's episode!

Our God is a God of boundaries, distinctions, and intentional creation. Yet the modern world is obsessed with blurring boundaries, questioning distinctions, and uncreating Creation. April and Jeremy dive into why gender roles are such a fundamental part of creation in both marriage and when it comes to protecting our kids from predators. Not only should Christians accept these distinctions, we should CELEBRATE them! Dive in for our thoughts on these topics.

Nevermind the athiest that throws shade at the Bible about something he doesn't understand... It's a tragedy when CHRISTIANS start getting nervous about whether they can trust the Bible. This is one of those tricky issues that lack of nuance and cancel-culture-style arguments have ruined for us. NEVER let someone tell you the Bible can't be trusted because it doesn't explicitly condemn slavery. Slavery is NOT the same thing as the evil perpetrated during the transatlantic slave trade. Dive into this explosive topic with us!

This is a conversation most people aren't willing to have. But it's important, and if we're going to be intellectually honest, we need to be able to ask questions, dig in to the data, and find out what's really going on in the issues of our age. One of those issues is unwanted same-sex attraction. It's no secret that society at large is pushing a "degendering" experiment, and it started decades ago with gay-affirming practices. Instead of being able to help men who struggle with this - often due to trauma - states are even trying to BAN therapists from talking about it. This may be the most honest conversation on this topic you've ever heard, and you'll learn about other resources to study further, if necessary. Thanks to Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. for his work on this topic and his willingness to share the science and data behind this touchy topic. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:04 The Nicolosi family's history helping men with unwanted same-sex attraction 7:51 Theories around same-sex attraction 12:34 Trauma and attraction development 15:38 Politics and ideology in the field of psychology 18:27 Is it possible (or even legal) for an adult male to get help if he wants to engage in a heterosexual, monogamous marriage? 20:07 Options for helping minors who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction? 22:35 Can we still have conversations about conversion therapy? 27:47 What dads need to know about raising sons who want to have families 34:18 Can men who struggle with same-sex attraction have thriving heterosexual marriages that last? 40:26 What about exceptions? 41:55 Fathers who feel immense guilt if their son struggles with same-sex attraction 43:10 Major contributing factors to male same-sex attraction 45:31 The massive social experiment of "degendering" children (and what dads can do) Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

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.

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 Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

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. Jeremy and Conn Carroll discuss the history of monogamous marriage, the results of the last few centuries of liberty-obsessed philosophers, and what we can do to turn the tide to save marriages, birth rates, and families in America. 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 20:40 The 3 Supreme Court cases that overturned the foundation of American family 27:10 The cost of "freedom" as the ultimate value 35:18 Shifting the philosophical foundation of culture 44:42 Feminists are blind to the damage being done to women 48:31 Differences between US and non-US answers to the marriage question Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

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?

If, as Christians, we are going to combat wokeness, then we must accurately and succinctly define the term. In this episode, Jeremy and his daughter Sydney find and discuss a specific definition of "woke" that may allow us to better understand what we are up against, and how to best combat it with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Taking risks and stepping out in faith should be a key value for all Christian families. But...there's a LOT of messiness that goes along with risk-taking.

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.

Jeremy is joined by friends Phil Goodwin and Kyle to react to Fareed Zakaria's comments about the increasing secularization of culture, and the politicization of religion. Most of the conversation is spent tackling the tension between operating as a citizen of the United States AND a citizen of heaven. Where do you draw the line?

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.

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 his wife April as they discuss Jeremy's essay on toxic empathy, and the under-appreciated antichrist threat at the core of the social justice movement. So much wickedness is done today under the guise of Christ-like morality devoid of Christ Himself. It's great to be gentle and just and kind, but if those things are done without Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith...if they're done in a secular sort of way...then we're in trouble. In fact, we're already seeing some of the results of this, even among our churches! We'd love you to join us in thinking about this topic so that we can be more aware of both ditches on either side of the narrow road...the ditch of Satanic power and destruction, and the ditch of antichrist Christ-less compassion.

Get a glimpse into the social contagion that's spreading rapidly in our world by hearing how it's impacting 2 young women, as Jeremy is joined by his daughters Sydney and Elisa. First they react to an interview with Jonathan Haidt, where he discusses why and how women are impacted so deeply and negatively by social media. How do we protect the fact that women are naturally empathetic - which is a necessary and beautiful thing in the context of a family? Then they kick off a discussion of what makes a strong female character in literature and why this is directly related to how we raise our children today, in light of the massive push by the woke media to re-write reality.
