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
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.
In this episode, we're joined by Blake and Chandler Smith, who will be our coaches inside the Family Teams Accelerator in December. They are EXPERTS when it comes to meetings (which means they're fun and connective, NOT boring and horrible like you'd think).
They break down why they do a family s...
We have been doing this for over a decade, and it's paid off HUGE dividends for our family.
Today we're talking about our annual family summit, including why you should consider doing one, and how to pull it off.
This is SUCH an impactful day for us, and for so many of the other families in the Family Teams ecosystem that we really wanted to give you guys our full playbook. That's why we're dedicating the entire month of December i...
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 ...
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...
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, f...
Some of our recent reels on Instagram have exploded, and it's no mystery why.
These clips are touching nerves on parenting, priorities, and the way we raise our kids in today's world.
In this episode, we dive into two of the most viral ones: Brett Cooper's reflections on homeschooling and Erica Komisar's insights on the emotional fragility of young boys.
From family sacrifices to neurological development, we unpack what's really be...
What if your family was never meant to run on the system you've been handed?
In this powerful episode of the Family Teams Podcast, Curt sits down with Jeff and Jeremy to expose the "failed experiment" of modern family and rediscover God's original design - one that leads to joy, belonging, and legacy instead of burnout and isolation.
They break down why families today are collapsing, the biblical blueprint for restoring them, and h...
What happens when a true father steps into the life of another man?
In this reaction episode, Jeremy Pryor reflects on a powerful conversation between Jason Wilson, author, mentor, and founder of The Cave of Adullam, and former NFL quarterback Cam Newton.
Jason doesn't just talk about manhood...he models fatherhood in real time, speaking into Cam's fears, struggles, and hopes.
Jeremy unpacks how Jason's words go beyond surface advi...
What does it really mean to live as a family on mission?
In this inspiring episode of the Family Teams Podcast, Jeremy is joined by Mark and Michelle Tiderman, this month's Accelerator community coaches, to share their journey of following God as a family.
From meeting on the mission field in Mexico City to planting roots in Fairfield, Ohio, the Tiderman's reveal how they've woven mission into every stage of life - raising kids, co...
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.
They share the seasons when mission felt impossible, the small ways they started anyway, and the surprising fruit that followed.
You'll hear stories of how their own fa...
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.
W...
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...
