🎁 FREE GIFT: 5 Steps To Start A Business and Become A Family Team On Mission: https://familyteams.com/blueprint --- Andrew Bagley of the Visible Hand says children didn't get expensive...they got unnecessary. And his argument is right on. This sounds insulting at first, but watch the clip and you'll understand. The problem is, he breaks down the problem brilliantly...but doesn't give a solution. Not only that, but you'll hear it screamed from the rooftops: "children really ARE too expensive!" So what are you supposed to do about it? Risk the regret of not having kids? Only have 1 child? We don't think so. We want to equip you to live out the Biblical vision for family, which usually includes having kids early and often. How? One key shift in how you see family. Listen until the end to hear our solution, but make sure you truly understand the REAL problem first, without just accepting clickbait headlines about kids costing $300,000 or whatever.

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.

FREE 🎁 - The Family Freedom Blueprint: https://familyteams.com/blueprint Should marriage start with the assumption that it's essentially a business? That's a shocking thing to hear for our modern, western ears. But Adam Lane Smith is right. Family is supposed to be a productive enterprise. It's only recently that we've taken all productivity out of the home and become such hyper-individualized atomic units, separated from each other. In this episode, I argue for God's original design for marriage, and give you 3 dynamics that substantially increase the likelihood you'll stay married in an amazing, godly union.

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!

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?
