My 17 year old daughter Kaira just spoke at the national speech tournament in Minneapolis, where her speech was 10th in the nation. I thought she absolutely nailed the idea of family as a team, and the main tool she's seen our family use to truly create this as a reality in our multi-generational family. If you've ever wondered what our kids truly think about this stuff - if it actually lands with them and impacts them - I think this shows just how much they're picking up. Plus, it's a succinct and amazingly delivered argument for our number 1 tool that we recommend to all family teams.

Should we as Christian parents really aim to be kicking our kids out of our home as soon as they turn 18? This is an EXTREMELY cultural - not Biblical - idea, yet I meet SO many Christians who believe the lie. Instead of taking the 3 obvious milestones the Bible talks about when it comes to maturing children and our roles as mothers and fathers, we just swallow the cultural lie, hook, line, and sinker, and then wonder what went wrong. In this episode, we break down the actual lie, where it came from, and then give you the TRUTH of scripture to wield against a culture that wants to destroy families...in this case, especially by taking kids out of the home as quickly as possible and leaving no space for a multigenerational family to form.

99% of the Evangelical Christian world gets this wrong, and it's absolutely destroying our families. We've fallen into the trap of thinking of the family in secular terms, instead of looking at the Bible and asking what God's vision was for the family, since HE created it. In this episode I break down 3 of the main critiques against the modern family, and go into the 3 promises of building your family like a TEAM instead of a group of individuals. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 99% Get This Wrong 0:50 The 3 Critiques of the Modern Family 3:49 What Are We Aiming At? 5:29 How Did God Design Family? 12:03 Threefold Promise of the Family Resources Mentioned: FREE "5 Days To Transform Your Family Into A Team" Mini Course: https://familyteams.com/transform --- Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

The family compound... This is such a hot button topic, and often a very emotional topic. So, we decided to look at 2 competing visions (Willie Robertson vs. Dave Ramsey) and break them down with a nuanced conversation. Jeremy and Jeff have experienced this first-hand, so they're talking about this from lived experience and hard-earned wisdom. Should you actually try to build a family compound? Why or why not?

Siblings who don't get along is one of the major reasons why families don't have more kids. It drives everyone nuts, disrupts the family, makes you feel overwhelmed, and eventually leads adults who SHOULD be best friends to be essentially strangers. That's why one of the main components of building a family team is creating strong sibling bonds between each one of your kids. Today's guests have 5 children and have been very intentional about creating systems and rhythms in their family that grow the relationship between each sibling. Learn their 3 techniques for building strong sibling bonds that lead to a more peaceful home and lifelong closeness between your kids.

This episode explores the reasons why the Protestant church is directly contributing to the destruction of the multi-generational household.

Money is such a contentious issue. In the world at large, but specifically within the Christian community. The love of money is the root of all evil...but does that mean making money is wrong? Do I really need to tithe 10%? Is budgeting a lack of trust in God? There's a million questions that end up becoming quite theological, and it can be tough to find God's peace in the whole conversation. That's why we brought on Bob Lotich, from Seed Time, to give us an overview from his experience and perspective as a Christian financial expert, on how families can think about money from a Christian perspective and not get totally overwhelmed in the process. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:23 How does a Christian family approach finances differently? 3:37 Avoiding the financial and spiritual ditches 9:39 God-first finances 19:01 Income and Expenses Imbalance 24:31 The biblical tension with wealth 31:04 Real Money Math Budgeting Resources Mentioned: Seed Time Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@seedtimepodcast/ Website: https://seedtime.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seedtime/ Simple Money, Rich Life by Bob Lotich: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593193652/ Rocket Money app: https://www.rocketmoney.com/ --- Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Here are the 3 things I think have most led to the destruction, and 3 solutions I think can help you escape from the trap of the nuclear family.

Our name is Family Teams. Everything we do revolves around that idea. But sometimes, it's important to dive into what that PRACTICALLY looks like on a day to day basis as a busy family. That's why we've invited Brent and Katie Kruithof onto the podcast to talk about build a family team. They're our expert coaches inside the Family Teams Accelerator (link below...join us!), and they break down a little bit of what they're going to be teaching us on the inside this month, from basic team-building exercises that you can start TONIGHT, to navigating things like sports and intentionality as a family.

Rob Kenney is best known as the man behind the viral Youtube account, "Dad, How Do I?" He shares videos explaining things that dads ought to have taught their kids... How to tie a tie, how to change a tire, how to make good food, etc. And he hit a nerve when he burst onto the scene in 2020, tapping into the father-hunger unconsciously felt by many young people today. But there's more to him than just fixing stuff. He's a Christian, and he wants to share his faith. In this conversation, we go into how he intentionally stepped into the identity of FATHER, and the backlash he endured from sharing his faith on his Youtube channel, and what it means for Christians today. -- FREE 5 Day Course To Transform Your Family Into A Team: https://familyteams.com/transform -- On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:53 Dad, How Do I? story 3:05 Sharing Faith and How People Interact With Christianity Today 14:53 The Moral Argument for God 23:42 Hard Fatherhood and Fragility 29:58 The Identity of FATHER Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Dad, How Do I?: https://www.youtube.com/@DadhowdoI/ Dad's Faith Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@dadsfaithchannel Dad, How Do I?

David Nasser narrowly escaped Iran in 1979 after the revolution. He saw "religion gone wrong" and decided that he hated God. You'll have to listen to what happened next, but it's one of the most glorious testimonies we've heard in a long time. David knows only too well that this is a critical moment for the underground church in Iran. We discuss his story, what's happening in Iran with the church, how we can help, and the biggest lessons on family that he took from the Middle East (compared to our western obsession with hyper-individualism).

I found this wild interaction on the "child-free" subreddit, and had to comment on it from our pro-family point of view here at Family Teams. There's a huge lie in the undercurrent of our society that has convinced so many young women to become hyper-individualistic and focused on self at the expense of children and family, and it's so tragic. This is a good way to showcase that lie and remind everyone to start celebrating kids and family.

There's a ton of talk lately about whether large or small families are better for kids, with most people saying small families are "obviously" better.

One of the things we talk a lot about here at Family Teams is the idea of ASSETS over CAREERS. In other words, we've found it extremely beneficial in building family teams to find ways to build assets together - especially businesses. While it's not right for everyone, we think it's right for way more people than are currently doing it! Jeremy and Kristin Netting join us today to talk about how they've started building family assets, and it goes WAY beyond just "start a business". We're talking things like how to actually work with your family as a team, how to start training your kids young so they want to be involved, the power of local community and land, and how to navigate the cultural tension of "limiting" your kids' choices. Absolute must-listen if you're ready to break free from building another man's family assets and start building your own.

Listening to this episode and then taking some action could be the biggest peace-giving thing you've done in years.

Grant and Kelly Stine completely changed the culture of their home in a very short amount of time by going all-in on training their children. They're our community coaches in the Accelerator this month, and give us some incredible, practical tools and stories in this episode.

The Bible tells parents to train their children, so you know we take that seriously here at Family Teams. But did you know there's a different between training your children and disciplining them? Discipline is part of the training process, but it's certainly not the whole thing.

Training your children is a Biblical mandate. But it's almost become a dirty word in 2026. "How dare you train your children! You're infringing on their liberty as individuals!" But this is part of God's expectation for parents - to raise them up in the way they should go. And that requires training. In this episode, we'll convince you briefly why training your kids is necessary (if you still need convincing), and then give you some practical tools and mindset shifts to start actually implementing this.

It went pretty viral, being seen over half a million times on IG. Today, we're excited to bring it full circle by having Rachel Awtrey - the woman in the reel - on the podcast, to talk more about her father's wise discipline, fathering and mothering in general, and about her new book on finding joy, even in times of hardship and trial, to which she's no stranger.

FREE PDF: How To Start A Weekly, Multigenerational Family Meal Rhythm: familyteams.com/meal --- This month we've talked about why having a weekly, multi-generational family meal is such a game changer for families who want to build a family team that lasts for generations.

FREE PDF: How To Start A Weekly, Multigenerational Family Meal Rhythm: familyteams.com/meal --- If you decide to craft a weekly, multi-generational family meal, and stick with it every week, we're convinced that this is THE thing that will unlock a close, cohesive, loving family that lasts for generations. BUT... And it's a big but... If it's not fun, nobody's going to want to do it. You can only force little kids to join you at the table for so long until they're big enough to decide for themselves. Ideally we want our kids to come back to the weekly family dinner table when they're 10, 20, 30, 40, 50...you get the idea. So in this episode, we're talking about how to unlock the FUN of the weekly family meal (especially for dads). Dive in and lay the foundation so you can get the most out of this month's weekly family meal deep-dives!

There's an unhinged consensus that patriarchy is a problem, it's bad, and it needs to be dismantled. That's one of the core tenets of the new, secular world order and "morality". It's totally false, but it's been spurred onward over the past 100 years by feminism, which has also become a consensus. We're so steeped in it that seemingly everyone has assumed feminist tendencies and beliefs, just due to the waters in which we swim, culturally. Jeremy is joined by Dr. Carrie Gress today to talk about feminism, gender, abortion, and why all of this is a slow but steady under-the-radar revolution in an attempt to destroy America and Christianity. This conversation is VITAL to understand if you don't want to be polluted by the world.

You've probably heard about this phrase, "DINK Lifestyle"...it stands for "Dual Income, No Kids". This is a lifestyle that some couples are choosing to live, whereby they prioritize work and income and doing whatever they want, without the "burden" of kids. This is a selfish, anti-family, and very sad way to live, and it's vital that we put forward a more compelling vision for the future so that we save as many people as possible from going down this path of regret. Jeremy is joined by Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, to talk about the SILK lifestyle..."Single Income, Lots of Kids". We talk about why DINK is so destructive, the underlying philosophy behind it, and how to create a real vision for flourishing.

We think having an annual family summit is one of the most important rhythms families can add to help them start to become a family team.

Do you know why you're living the style of life you're living? Do you know just how new it is, and what the modern western society has done to family? It's been a long march to get here, but the results have been devastating. Rory Groves joins us today to talk about the book their ministry is re-publishing, Henry and the Great Society, and why this is an important cultural message that we need to get into as many people's hands as possible.

Christmas is one of the most approachable ways to start building your family team. It's one of the few things that still has SOME semblance of meaning to us here in the west, as long as you look a little past the commercialization of it. That's why we think it's an amazing opportunity to start to build lifelong family traditions, to start to coalesce as a true family team, and to bless one another as you all share in the excitement and blessing of Christ's birth. In this episode, Jeff talks about some of the plays he's included in this month's Accelerator Playbook, which you can get right now by signing up for The Family Teams Accelerator (link below)!

Your family's Christmas traditions might be coasting on autopilot - some things you do because you've always done them, some events that just happen to you instead of being chosen intentionally. What if this year you flipped the script and designed a December that actually centers on Jesus while creating memories your kids will carry into their own marriages? Jeremy and April Prior break down their 12 Days of Christmas framework, from scripture-paired events to a family arts show that turns your living room into a gallery. This isn't about adding more chaos to an already packed season...it's about saying yes to the right things and building annual traditions that your multi-generational family team will actually look forward to.

Ever feel like your family is just surviving - keeping up with school, meals, and schedules - but missing a bigger sense of purpose? In this episode, April and Jeremy get real about what it looks like to move from “just doing family” to becoming a family on mission.

God is a good Father who uses holidays and festivals to disciple His children all throughout the Old Testament. But for some reason these have been lost in modern Christianity.  Now, we don't HAVE to celebrate these holidays, Christ fulfills them all, BUT we've found over the past 10+ years that they are a POWERFUL tool to disciple our kids, follow God more closely, and build deep memories that impact us, our kids, and our communities for a lifetime. Here's why we like celebrating them, and a quick reminder that our Accelerator is open to join right now for September, where we'll be giving you a full "how to" so you can celebrate your first Biblical holiday - Sukkot - this October without any stress!

I want to show you why celebrating a week outside in a handmade booth becomes the most unforgettable family tradition - without feeling like a chore. We're joined by community coaches Brent and Katie Kruithoff, who previously helped us learn to celebrate spring holidays like Passover and Pentecost. This time, they share how the fall Biblical festival of Sukkot became a unifying, joy-filled anchor for their family's yearly rhythm. We also unpack the beautiful theology behind Sukkot: dwelling outside reminds us that “this earth is not our home,” pointing our eyes to our true forever home with God in heaven.
