Modern Fatherhood... Is Actually Motherhood?

We're excited to continue our motherhood series! Today Jeremy is joined by Michelle Akrami, Justine Cirullo, and Jess Gonyea. They react to a recent interview with Erica Komisar, where she laid out very counter-cultural but traditionally and logically obvious truths about motherhood, shame, attachment, and the cost of feminism. This episode will encourage you to seek the ideal when it comes to motherhood, but to turn to the Gospel to heal the guilt or shame that can sometimes result from knowing you'll miss the ideal - a feeling that we should all be familiar with as Christians. On this episode, we talk about: 1:25 How motherhood impacts all the different aspects of life 3:55 Erica Komisar on the optimal way to raise a child 6:39 Why can't we talk about "the ideal" anymore? 14:03 Erica Komisar on guilt and shame 18:34 Why is comfort suddenly the aim of our life? 25:26 Erica Komisar on a mother's instinct for empathy 29:42 Disordered attachment and a resistance to dying to self 38:22 Allowing motherhood to change you Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Lila Rose Podcast with Erica Komisar Family Teams Calendar --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

In this episode, Jeremy Pryor uses the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" to essentially train his son and daughter, live, on how to escape poverty as a family. He breaks down this timeless fairy tale, getting feedback from his kids along the way, and shares how a father can actually lead his family out of poverty, including the 3 steps you need to take (and the right order to take these steps...put the harp down!). If you're looking to build family wealth and live a life full of beauty and art and culture, you need to listen to this. It applies no matter where you're at - still in poverty looking for a way out, or on your way to abundance. On this episode, we talk about: 0:52 The greatest business book of all time 6:24 How Jack and the Beanstalk applies to family today 8:35 Why most people are fatherless like Jack 11:45 The power of wisdom to transform your life 14:57 Why you need a seed of an idea...an epiphany 22:04 The feminine rarely understands the "magic bean" at first 32:52 The major events that have to occur to lead your family out of poverty 35:04 The first of three kinds of treasure that exist 44:10 The full scope of what it requires to move from poverty to abundance 51:31 The risk of taking the harp first === Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com === Resources Mentioned: Family Inc Rich Dad Poor Dad --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Jeremy is joined by Phil Goodwin and Chris Cirullo to discuss Abrahamic Hospitality. Of the three Abrahamic religions, only one is commanded (in Hebrews) practice hospitality, yet it's the only one that seems to completely neglect it. That is, of course, Christianity. Why is this? How can we start to obey by hosting and rediscovering what it means to truly create a "table culture" where we bring in others and share Jesus in our homes? That's what this episode hopes to uncover, while giving you practical tips to start in your own family. On this episode, we talk about: 0:35 Abrahamic Hospitality and becoming Master of the Feast 5:01 Phil and Chris share their history and heart for hosting and hospitality 11:17 Why does Christianity seem to be the only one of the 3 Abrahamic faiths that neglects hospitality? 19:45 How to begin showing hospitality if you're new to this but interested in getting started 25:07 Introducing teaching as part of hospitality 31:41 How reading a few verses and asking a few questions can create incredibly special moments 36:04 Take the table culture of your family seriously Resources Mentioned: Family Revision by Jeremy Pryor --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Today we're joined by Michelle Akrami and Justine Cirullo, who just so happen to be the wives of some of our guests on the fatherhood episode side of things, Cameron Akrami and Chris Cirullo.
