If you’ve ever felt exhausted as a dad — like you’re genuinely trying but something still feels “off” — today’s episode is going to give you language, clarity, and a fresh blueprint for fatherhood.
I sit down with Jeremy Pryor, one of the leading voices on shaping a multigenerational family on mission. Jeremy argues that most modern dads are using a brand-new cultural blueprint for family… and it’s not working.
This conversation is full of hope, honesty, and practical steps to help you create a home your kids will want to belong to for generations.
What You’ll Learn
- Why the modern Western family structure is historically unusual — and often ineffective
- The biblical blueprint for family that leads to connection, mission, and long-term joy
- The power of three generations at one table
- How to win your child’s heart through simple weekly rhythms
- Why intentional dads must play both offense and defense in today’s culture
- How to protect your child spiritually in a world full of digital “portals”
- What it looks like to raise kids who stay connected long after they leave your home
Key Takeaways
• Strong families begin with healed men.
You cannot lead your home if you’re disconnected from Jesus or from your own heart.
• Ideas matter.
Most dads inherited a blueprint that leads to isolation — not mission.
• Connection is built through rhythm, not random effort.
Weekly feasts, 1:1 traditions, family stories, and regular check-ins matter.
• Your kids need your protection — spiritually, emotionally, digitally.
Today’s culture demands intentional defense, not passive hope.
• Legacy starts now.
You’re building something your grandkids will feel — whether intentionally or by default.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
