Cracker Barrel just released its new logo which is plain, sterile, and totally stripped of its heritage. They even removed the old man, erasing the story and charm that once gave the brand its soul. In this episode, we talk about how this isn't just about a restaurant chain, it's about the cultural war between beauty and ugliness, truth and lies, order and chaos.God is a God of beauty, truth, and order. Satan thrives in ugliness, lies, and chaos. What we're seeing in design, culture, and politics today is a Marxist-driven push toward minimalism, modernism, and brutalism—an aesthetic that reflects their worldview. But we don't have to accept this. We can choose a God-honoring path that preserves heritage, values beauty, and treats America as a homeland to be protected, not a business venture to exploit others (even its own people) for monetary advantage.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Ever feel like your homeschool days are barely held together by coffee and duct tape? I've been there. And I've discovered something that changed everything: the foundation of peace and progress isn't a perfect curriculum—it's habit formation—for our kids and ourselves.In this “Summer Throwback” episode, I'm opening up about how the Charlotte Mason approach to habits has helped our family navigate military life, special needs parenting, and everyday chaos. We'll dive into how to start small, set realistic expectations, and use habit training to create consistency and peace.If you've been craving more peaceful homeschool days, less yelling, and a family rhythm that works, this one's for you❤️ Katie

When our kids are young, we dream about the kind of family we want to have. We try to build traditions, set values, and create an atmosphere of love and connection—hoping it all pays off someday. Now, with five of my seven kids officially adults, I'm getting to see the fruits of those efforts. In this episode, I share how we intentionally shaped our family culture, the little (and big) things that made a difference, and what it all looks like years down the road. If you've ever wondered whether the daily work of building family culture really matters, this episode is for you.

 There's a basic human need of belonging that everyone possesses.A family culture gives that "sense of belonging" to each child.  It is the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterize your family. It is the foundation of your family.A family culture doesn't take away the individuality of people within the family, it simply characterizes what we work to have in common.Creating a shared vision or family culture bonds the parents and children as well as siblings because they support and challenge each other to live up to the family code of conduct.They “aren't the only ones” who can or can't do something in social settings. Their siblings also follow the set rules of the family and if they don't, a sibling will usually inform the parents.If WE don't give our children a culture to belong to, society or their peer group will. Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

A few years ago, Tim and I recorded a couple conversations on marriage and parenting. Today, we sit down to revisit the concept of how we create culture in our homes. We touch on training our kids up into increasing responsibilities, choosing travel and experiences over stuff, building Sabbath rhythms into our weekend routine, and lingering dinners that create the space for deeper conversations. We honestly share some of our cyclical struggles and weak spots that we continue to hit heads on (feel free to send your advice!), including busy-ness, finances, and communication. We pass on some wisdom that has impacted us in the recent past, from podcasts to counseling and mentors. IG: @wlscarborough, @tim_scarShow Notes/Quotes: Tim Keller Marriage podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cultivating-a-healthy-marriage-with-tim-keller/id1752020494“Our goal each week, and this is hard, is to have half the week or more where we are sitting down eating together…what I've seen with our kids is that it grounds them.” “I feel like your desire for verbal affirmation is literally insatiable. No matter how much I did it, you would always want a little bit more.” “I remember Opie saying a couple years ago that to him one of his favorite things was a meal that we could just sit and enjoy and didn't have a stopping point to it.”“Inevitably, in those times, we end up talking about a lot of things that we believe in.”“The concept of Sabbath as a centering day for the people of God to reorient themselves around the person of God as their provider is still needed. It hasn't gone away.” “The busy-ness does damage to our souls, and it causes us sometimes to feel so at odds with each other when really we just haven't spent time together. There's really no substitute for quality time. If we are running too fast, filling our schedules too full, we cannot also feel deeply connected to each other.” “Spending some time with younger couples too has sharpened us in some really cool ways.” “There may be some validity here to my frustration, but I need to do a better job of seeing the character of my husband and encouraging him in that, and not just jumping to, ‘Well you didn't do this thing for me that I wanted you to.'” “One thing that I think that has adjusted over 17 years of marriage, we would at the beginning of our marriage just jump right into an argument when something ticked us off, but now, you and I both, that's tempered over the past decade and a half…I think what you're really doing in that is giving me the benefit of the doubt…whenever we do that for each other, it allows us to perceive each other in a whole new light.” “God, help me to better steward who I am, and to be the best that I can be in these roles that you've entrusted to me.” 

There are many valuable strategies that parents can learn from business owners when building a strong family culture. Dr. Tim Jordan explores these CEO-inspired approaches with parenting coach Avital Levy. Together, they examine the current trends in family building and parenting, as well as how to establish a clear vision within a home, much like a business would. Avital warns about the consequences of gentle parenting, particularly its tendency to raise less resilient children. She also discusses the need to return to a play-based childhood and allow young ones to develop their skills and talents in the most enjoyable way.Related resources:Resources from Avital Levy:Hi, Fam!@HiFamLife on Instagram@HiFamLife on YouTubeAvita's book: Reclaim Play

It's the problem we see most often...an active, engaged mom who's trying to lead the family, and a passive dad who's abdicated his leadership. This does NOT work. Mom MUST use her gifts to complementarily help Dad lead. Dad MUST step up and start leading. This shared vision is crucial for family culture and how your kids (and marriage) turn out. Jeremy and April break this idea down by reacting to a couple of clips that show the importance of dad leading for the greater, common good. This will challenge you, but after so many years helping so many families, this is THE way to build your family, because it is GOD'S way to build your family.

Sacred Family: with Pastor Cory Henderson from Christian Life ChurchSunday 6-8-25https://www.bible.com/events/49445832

Hey Family Brand! It's Melissa here, and this week I'm sharing something I've been thinking about a lot—how summer gives us a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and upgrade our family culture. Whether your kids are home more, you're traveling, or you're just trying to juggle a different routine, summer naturally gives us space to reevaluate what's working… and what's not. In this episode, I walk you through a few changes we're making as a family this season. They're small on the surface—things like setting limits on video games, resetting kitchen expectations, and creating more intentional mealtimes—but they're making a big impact in how we're showing up for each other. One of the biggest shifts we've made is in our morning routine. I share how we've gone from chaotic, slow-moving starts to mornings filled with structure, gratitude, and even scripture. I've also added a daily rhythm for myself that includes getting outside, stretching, drinking water, and tracking it all on paper. It's been so good for my mental and physical health—and the kids are noticing too. I also open up about how these changes didn't come from perfection or pressure. They came from a moment of honesty—realizing we were slipping into habits that didn't reflect the culture we actually want to have. So if you've been feeling like it's time to make a shift in your home, I want you to know: it doesn't have to be complicated. Start small. Start now. This episode is a little behind-the-scenes peek into our summer—and an invitation for you to think about what kind of family culture you want to build in this season.   LINKS:   All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand   Episode Minute By Minute: 0:00 – Why summer is a great time to reset your family culture 1:15 – The moment I realized we needed some structure back in our mornings 2:30 – Our new morning rhythm: movement, water, journaling, and scripture 4:00 – Setting kitchen expectations so everyone pitches in 5:15 – Why I'm limiting video games and adding screen-free pockets 6:30 – How I'm building new rhythms for me as a mom this summer 8:00 – Encouragement: You don't need to overhaul your life—just pick one thing

Different childhoods. Different wounds. One shared commitment: to raise boys who feel seen, safe, and strong. Some of us were raised on discipline. Others in silence. Some were praised only when we performed—others not at all. But no matter what we inherited, we all face the same question when we become fathers: Will I repeat what I came from, or will I build something new? In today's episode, I sit down with Jenna and Brad Ballard—two parents building something they didn't fully have growing up: a family grounded in presence, emotional safety, and truth.  Brad and Jenna are the co-founders of Ascension Leadership Academy (ALA), where they help people break through limiting beliefs and lead with emotional intelligence and purpose. Their upbringings were different—one shaped by performance and pressure, the other by steadiness and structure. But what unites them now is a shared commitment to raising sons who feel seen, celebrated, and secure. This isn't a conversation about parenting hacks or surface-level advice. It's about the quiet patterns we carry from childhood. The ones we repeat without realizing. The ones we choose to break. And the ones we intentionally rebuild—through rituals, reflection, and relentless love.  

In this episode, we explore the complexities of attraction, discussing its biological, emotional, and psychological underpinnings.

In this episode, I share our family's journey from being overwhelmed and stressed to reclaiming joy and connection through our Family Burnout Recovery Plan.

Herschend finalized its acquisition of Palace Entertainment's 24 U.S. attractions with a $1.1 billion leveraged loan—and vows 2025 will be a “listening year” before sprinkling Dollywood-style cinnamon bread and “Heartspitality” across Kennywood, Lake Compounce, and 47 other properties. Meanwhile, Six Flags fired every park president overnight, favoring a regional management model instead of a local one. We unpack whether family culture can outshine heavy debt, how a headless org might finally smash Six Flags' notorious silos, and why both moves reshape the post-merger map where just four companies now control most regional parks.

Today, I am delighted to welcome Chris Koenemann, a family advisor and coach specializing in spiritual coaching and accompaniment. Chris served as Prior and Cellarer of a monastery of 20+ monks that owned and operated a school and operated a parish, and prior to that Chris was a Catholic monk for seventeen years, including five years in Rome, and as a Catholic priest. He studied organizational design and worked in that field with PwC Consulting and IBM. Of all the 5 capitals Jay Hughes defined, spiritual capital is probably still the least frequently discussed in our field. In this conversation, we focus entirely on this important and oft-neglected form of family capital. We start with a definition of define spiritual capital and how you Chris sees the importance of spirituality in today's modern, technology-driven world. Chris describes the reality today in the wealth management space, including how well spirituality is understood, appreciated, and incorporated in the work enterprise families undertake to manage their family capital holistically. He also talks about how well family advisors understand and engage in this field. Chris has created a framework he calls “8 Conversations” for families to co-create a culture that sticks. He tells us about this framework, defining the 8 Conversations and showcasing how to apply them to help families in transition. Helping families understand and develop their unique culture is at the heart of Chris's work. He points to Harrison's model of culture as a useful tool to achieve these objectives. He also shares his insights about the model and how he applies it with families. Please enjoy this enlightening conversation with an expert and practitioner who spans both the technical and spiritual dimensions of building a strong family culture that lasts across generations.
