The Family Teams Podcast
A place to get equipped and encouraged as you opt out of the western family experiment and say yes to building a multi-generational family team on mission.
Episodes
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 communit...
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.

In this episode, Jeremy reacts to 5 popular clips that show why the modern, western idea of family is so broken.
Learn the Family Teams perspective on a lot of these relevant topics of our day, and see why God's ancient ideas for family are still the best ones today, and finally put your finger on WHY modern society is so broken.
On this episode, we talk about:

Jeremy reacts to a viral Tweet explaining the difference between a mom's conservative and liberal child.
He explains why we needed to invent some moral framework for society after Christian ethics were broadly discarded, and why our culture is suddenly anti-life after choosing "consent" as the moral framework.
This new "religion" doesn't value life, and is leading to the sterilization of the next generation.
Seriously consider what...
Young men are abandoning leadership, being sucked into addiction, and rejecting building a family.
What's at the heart of this? How do we stop it?
Jeremy is joined today by Bryce Bouchard, who leads Noblemen Ministries.
Bryce spent a lot of time working with college-aged men and has seen a lot of the shift over the past couple of...
The Akrami's join us today to talk about their journey of bringing the Bible into their home and making it a cornerstone of their life with their kids.
They're our coaches this month inside the Accelerator (familyteams.com/accelerator)!
They cover the big WHY, what their journey looked like as Cameron started to lead in this area...
This is a question we get asked often.
How do I introduce/share/read the Bible to my family?
Sharing the Bible with your kids is extremely important, but in such a busy world, it's often one of the things that gets pushed to the backburner.
We highly recommend putting some real time and energy into this...not many things are more important.
This is part 1 (the Pryor family experience with younger and older kids). Part 2 comes next ...
One of the most common questions I get is, "how do we raise our kids who aren't entitled...especially if we've had success in some aspects of life?"
And it makes sense.
Most of us are who we are because of the struggles we've had to endure to get here. We value what we have, we aren't entitled. But...so many kids (and adults) these days are. Why?
It turns out there's one very basic (but countercultural) thing you can do that will a...
What if you could take the most chaotic thing in your life and turn it into something that actually creates peace in your home?
This month in the Family Teams Accelerator, we're talking about how to use this one unexpected tool usually found in the most boring parts of a business, to turn chaos into clarity at home.
That tool?
Standar Operating Procedures (SOPs).
This is how you train your kids to do what you want them to do. It's ...
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 im...
What if there was one, single, metric we could track to tell whether or not we were actually on track to restoring God's vision for family?
There's a lot of noise, a lot of competing priorities in the world, BUT...
I think we've found one metric.
We call it:
3 Generations, 1 Table, Every Week.
If you can build this rhythm into your family, it's almost inevitable that you'll become a multi-generational family team.

Today's guest and I both want fathers to be more intentional.
And, like most things, it doesn't take a crazy amount of planning or effort to show up a little bit more for your wife and kids.
Maury Wood joins me to talk intentional rhythms, and shares a few really useful, and easy-to-implement rhythms and lessons that any dad can ...
This is one of the foundational, fundamental things you should be doing if you want to build your family into a team that works together.
At first it doesn't sound exciting, and, you might actually think you HATE this idea, but trust us, we've been doing this for years and it has made ALL the difference.
For dad, it turns you into a leader.
For mom, it stops you from having to be the leader and be the only one who cares about what...
This can transform your family's life so deeply. It's THE tool that, done consistently, turns your family into a team.
What is it, you ask?
The Family Meeting.
BEFORE you roll your eyes and delete this, hear us out!
We've been doing some form of this for 12+ years, and it has radically transformed our family.
It hardly takes any ...
How do you care for a new mother? How do you care for a family?
If you're a citizen of the West, the answer is basically: you don't.
There's no recognition, value, or care for family anymore.
Yet there is an ancient way that most of humanity for most of time has followed that helps mothers and families thrive as multi-generational teams.
That way is still kept in places like Uganda, which Jeremy and April discuss today.
Can you eve...
The natural, Biblical progression for a woman's life is to go from Maiden to Mother to Matriarch.
Each of these are seasons, and they're glorious in the way God guides us through them.
But...our culture HATES that last step.
Nobody is aspiring to grandmotherhood. The idea seems to be to go BACK to maiden after motherhood.
In this episode, Jeremy and April break down Michelle Obama's recent comments, the destructive nature of "thera...
This is the one thing I wish I knew earlier in my fatherhood journey.
Fathers, especially, have a HUGE amount of influence with helping their kids achieve mastery over skills and parts of life that they might not otherwise accomplish without dad's influence.
In this episode, we share 3 extreme examples of fathers casting huge vis...
Listening to this episode and then taking some action could be the biggest peace-giving thing you've done in years.
Training your children well is often the difference between "we're done having kids" and "every child we add is a joy and blessing".
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 Acceler...
Most parents don't know you can (and should) train your kids.
Our Western mindset has most people believe that how kids turn out is mostly just due to their personality.
This is absolutely incorrect and is KILLING family cultures and peace in homes.
Today we're giving you some game-changing mindset shifts and some super practical...
This feminine superpower is designed to build relational connectivity and love in big, multigenerational families, but is often misunderstood and completely ignored in the modern world.
Jeremy discusses the ideal use for this in a large family and how it is such a blessing to husbands and the entire family, but also shows why it's so maligned these days.
He reacts to a couple videos, one from Jonathan Haidt, and another of Jordan P...
