We've been told that cultivating fierce independence in our daughters is the path to their success and protection.
But what if that's completely wrong?
What if the Bible actually points us toward something radically different?
In our modern Western culture, we've bought into the idea that the ultimate goal for raising daughters is to make them fiercely independent from men, from family, from everyone. The thinking goes that if we d...

This is the most misinterpreted marriage verse in the Bible:
"Leave and cleave".
In our modern times, we've read our own hyper-individualistic western culture into the Scriptures, and have completely missed the fact that the Bible itself disproves this very interpretation.
We think that to leave and cleave means to almost completely separate from our birth family, probably move a few states away, and start fresh, basically.
This is...

What can Star Wars and Pontius Pilate teach us about God's design for marriage?
A surprising amount, actually.
In this episode, I'm going to dive into one of the most loaded marriage terms in the Bible: "suitable".
Do you know what this word actually means in the original Hebrew?
It's not at all what you think.
In fact, I almost never hear people talking about this.
There seem to be 2 camps that can basically be summed up as,...

Most Christian families look no different than their secular counterparts.
But we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us...shouldn't that make a DIFFERENCE in how we do family?
I think our generation lacks the Biblical vision for family that God cast way back in Genesis 1.
In this episode, I'm going to walk you through a 5-Generation strategy for fulfilling both the role of the family that God created in Genesis 1:28 and the Gr...

Why did God invent the family?
Even though it's very obviously in the Bible, most Christians today have no idea what the family is for, or why God made it.
In fact, the standard answer, at least in our Protestant churches, seems to be that the secular world's version of family is just fine and we don't need to look any further.
But this...

We're passionate about the intersection of faith, family, and finances.
It's at the core of pretty much everything we do here at Family Teams.
So when we get a chance to sit down with someone else who's passionate about the same things, we love to trade notes and benefit from their wisdom.
Today we're joined by Derrick Kinney, the "easy-to-understand money guy", who helps families reach their first million.

We've mentioned Erica Komisar multiple times on this podcast, so it's a great pleasure to be able to interview her on today's episode.
Erica is a mother, clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, parent coach, and author. She is particularly known for her defense of motherhood and a woman's instinct to mother against our very anti-family culture.
This conversation gave a lot of scientific background to a lot of what we talk about he...

If you spend any time in conservative Christian circles, you're going to think we're absolutely nuts for saying this.
Nuclear family is NOT the answer?
No. It's not. It's not even close to biblical.
And no, we're not advocating for some new invention that makes us no different than the culture we swim in.
We believe that God created a much different family unit than the nuclear family, and that the nuclear family is an insane, ...

Do most men need fatherhood to become the man God wants for them to be?
The conversation around becoming a father is getting framed these days as a "lifestyle choice".
But...
That's ridiculous.
Fatherhood is one of the hardest things you can do, which means it fits in perfectly with how God reveals meaning to us.
You have to go through the Cross to get to the Resurrection.
So why are so many men choosing to forego the incredible, m...

You're busy. You have young kids. You feel like you're barely keeping your head above water most days.
How in the world are you supposed to fulfill the Great Commission as a family?
This is the question that keeps so many Christian families stuck in survival mode, never stepping into the missional calling God has for them.
Mark and Michelle Tiderman have cracked the code on this. With 4 kids ranging from 10 to 18, they've built ...

What is most missing in Christian parenting today, as we barrel headlong into the rapidly changing unknown of a broken culture?
Courage.
That's the hypothesis of Isaac and Angie Tolpin, who have spent decades making courageous choices raising their 9 children and walking out God's calling on their life.
Guys this was such an inspirational episode. The Tolpin's ministry, Be Courageous, is so well aligned with Family Teams, and their...

My 17 year old daughter Kaira just spoke at the national speech tournament in Minneapolis, where her speech was 10th in the nation.
I thought she absolutely nailed the idea of family as a team, and the main tool she's seen our family use to truly create this as a reality in our multi-generational family.
If you've ever wondered what our kids truly think about this stuff - if it actually lands with them and impacts them - I think th...

Should we as Christian parents really aim to be kicking our kids out of our home as soon as they turn 18?
This is an EXTREMELY cultural - not Biblical - idea, yet I meet SO many Christians who believe the lie.
Instead of taking the 3 obvious milestones the Bible talks about when it comes to maturing children and our roles as mothers and fathers, we just swallow the cultural lie, hook, line, and sinker, and then wonder what went wro...

99% of the Evangelical Christian world gets this wrong, and it's absolutely destroying our families.
We've fallen into the trap of thinking of the family in secular terms, instead of looking at the Bible and asking what God's vision was for the family, since HE created it.
In this episode I break down 3 of the main critiques against the modern family, and go into the 3 promises of building your family like a TEAM instead of a group...

This is such a hot button topic, and often a very emotional topic.
So, we decided to look at 2 competing visions (Willie Robertson vs. Dave Ramsey) and break them down with a nuanced conversation.
Jeremy and Jeff have experienced this first-hand, so they're talking about this from lived experience and hard-earned wisdom.

Siblings who don't get along is one of the major reasons why families don't have more kids.
It drives everyone nuts, disrupts the family, makes you feel overwhelmed, and eventually leads adults who SHOULD be best friends to be essentially strangers.
That's why one of the main components of building a family team is creating strong sibling bonds between each one of your kids.
