How Rumpelstiltskin Can Save You From Getting Into Debt And Ruining Your Life

Jeremy and April Pryor wade into the sensitive topic of what happens in marriages when a wife earns more money than a husband, and eventually becomes the "alpha". This conversation is a reaction to a recent video by Patrick Bet-David. Is it guaranteed to cause problems? What are the effects on family in a world where this is becoming increasingly common? This deeply impacts how we raise our daughters and how we work together as family teams, so at risk of offending everybody, we're diving in to explore relationship dynamics and what this means for modern families. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:43 Should couples workout together?  2:24 Do alpha women destroy marriages? 5:35 We are running multiple societal experiments...what is the impact on the family? 10:18 Is being a workplace leader and a wife incompatible? 20:18 Niceness and agreeability 29:25 Why it's so hard on marriages when women try to "beat" men 33:28 Do women "lose attraction" to husbands who earn less than them? 40:37 When government reforms fix unimportant problems and do more damage to the family 44:33 Raising daughters to want to be moms, and equipping them for motherhood Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Patrick Bet David Video Family Inc --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Jeremy and Curt Storring react to Steve Irwin's multi-generational mission, then Jeremy finds the phrase he's been searching for to describe who a great father is today (especially compared to the "fun dad" as shown on Bluey and other modern media). On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:39 Steve Irwin's Multigenerational Family Vision 6:41 Do we all need massive, narrow, world-changing visions? 8:37 Families (not institutions) should be multi-generational vehicles to fulfill missions 10:32 Levels to fatherly visions 16:25 Can a super narrow family vision subtly create disunity in a family team? 20:11 Leading with your mood 24:06 The difference between the modern, Western dad and the Biblical patriarch 31:47 Where are you giving up your agency?

Jeremy is joined by his wife April and their friends Jess and Brittany to react to a couple of recent Youtube videos about family and daughters in particular. First they tackle the question, how do we raise daughters differently from sons, particularly from the Family Teams perspective? Then they dive into the trad wife movement and ask what sort of contingency plans women should have in case the men in her life all let her down. This is a highly nuanced and important conversation to have from a Christian perspective to compare it to the modern, anti-God cultural story we're being told. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:41 Topics 2:03 Reaction Clip 1: Marriage and Childbirth Culture in China 10:49 How do we raise daughters differently? 19:02 The biggest story wins 25:46 Should women create contingency plans in case every man in her life fails her? 27:55 Reaction Clip 2: Trad wife movement and contingency plans 35:02 Why Christian wives aren't thinking about contingency plans 40:32 Fathers as contingency plans when daughters are in need 52:06 "We roll deep."

Jeremy and April Pryor are joined by Annalisa Barraza, Holly Worley, and Jess Gonyea to discuss two topics surrounding motherhood and femininity, all through the Family Teams lens. First they react to whether there's a place for women to "be" in the family, when compared to working outside the home. Our culture has put "self-expression" as the highest virtue, but can we as Christians really buy into that? Next, they comment on the reality of a woman's biological clock (in reaction to a Brett Cooper video). Even in Christian circles, nobody is talking to young women about the reality of fertility, aging, and the process leading up to having kids, and it's creating a tragic epidemic of "unplanned childlessness". These are the conversations we need to be having to point people back to Truth, Reality, and Christ in a world that's absolutely bent on distorting it all in order to do violence to the family as a vehicle for God's will. On this episode, we talk about: 1:34 Does the "Christian right" need more of a vision for women than being a wife and mother? 5:34 Moms react...is there a place for women to "be" in a family setting? 20:23 The cultural lie that "self-expression" is the ultimate goal 22:48 The Proverbs 31 woman as a vision for mothers and wives 30:35 Brett Cooper on The Reality of a Woman's Biological Clock 40:54 The pill, society's view of children, and "babymoons" 47:40 Integrating your entire life Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Brett Cooper Video --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Jeremy Pryor is joined by Chris Cirullo and Reilly Pilgrim to talk about inheritance. Inheritance is one of those issues that has been dealt with intentionally and maturely in many cultures for millennia...but Christians are generally really bad at understanding this. However, we can see by looking at the broader cultural narrative in which we live that it's actually liberalism as a worldview that is destroying our idea of inheritance and causing so much confusion for fathers and resentment for adult children. We'll dive into what responsible inheritance looks like in Family Teams, and how to navigate the question around stewarding resources over multiple generations. On this episode, we talk about: 1:24 Is inheritance a blessing or curse? 3:48 Set your kids up for multigenerational success with business and opportunity (reaction to Myron Golden) 17:49 Jeff Goldlum is not planning to give his kids any money...is he right? (reaction to Michael Knowles) 26:07 What if your kids don't want to be on your team? 39:45 Are you prepared to be the CEO of your family?

Jeremy is joined by his wife April, Kristin Netting, and Jess Gonyea to talk motherhood and parenting advice, specifically in reaction to some of the ultra-popular mainstream parenting influencers giving their opinions out there. Can the advice of parenting "experts" like Dr. Becky Kennedy be reconciled with a Biblical worldview? Is it helpful? How do we know what parts are helpful and which are harmful? On this episode, we talk about: 0:49 Processing Dr. Becky's parenting advice through a Biblical lens 2:18 The difference between making a request and setting a boundary 11:00 Women react to "turning up the volume" when there's an issue in the family and both spouses need to get on board 17:41 The framework issue between modern, Western marriages and Family Teams 21:13 Parenting from the belief that your child is innately good 36:57 Are our kids destined for shame and failure if we don't believe they're "good inside"?

Jeremy Pryor is joined by his children Jackson, Sydney, and Elisa to talk about debt, and how young people today are getting so easily sucked into making horrible financial decisions that often lead to LITERALLY giving up their first born child as payment. They do all this by dissecting the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin, which is absolutely packed with symbolism that we can use to glean wisdom from for today. Learn the sad reality of why most young people get into debt, the various forces out there looking to "get" us (and our future earning years...and even our sense of meaning), and what we can do about it. On this episode, we talk about: 1:56 How to get the most out of fairy tales (and why they're not irrelevant today) 5:34 The story of Rumpelstiltskin 6:48 The point of the story...how and why debt starts 17:00 The vulnerability of young people entering into adulthood 20:06 The most brilliant symbol in the story...what happens when you run out of things to give? 33:31 The happy ending that requires you knowing the name 42:57 The gratitude your children will have if you train them and teach them about the traps of the world Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Family Revision by Jeremy Pryor --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

This is a must-listen interview for all dads, because it is fathers who have the responsibility to stand up to these demonic attacks on our culture and our children and our neighbours. Jeremy, Chris, and Phil discuss awareness, counterattacks, the importance of giving an identity to your children, and why we need to expand the conversation from the cultural arena to the faith arena.
