If you decide to craft a weekly, multi-generational family meal, and stick with it every week, we're convinced that this is THE thing that will unlock a close, cohesive, loving family that lasts for generations.

BUT...

And it's a big but...

If it's not fun, nobody's going to want to do it.

You can only force little kids to join you at th...

There's an unhinged consensus that patriarchy is a problem, it's bad, and it needs to be dismantled.

That's one of the core tenets of the new, secular world order and "morality".

It's totally false, but it's been spurred onward over the past 100 years by feminism, which has also become a consensus.

We're so steeped in it that seemingly everyone has assumed feminist tendencies and beliefs, just due to the waters in which we swim, cu...

In this episode, we're joined by Philip and Natasha Dosa of Stay and Go. They're our community coaches for January 2026 in the Accelerator, and they talk today about the lightbulb moment that changed everything in...

You've probably heard about this phrase, "DINK Lifestyle"...it stands for "Dual Income, No Kids".

This is a lifestyle that some couples are choosing to live, whereby they prioritize work and income and doing whatever they want, without the "burden" of kids.

This is a selfish, anti-family, and very sad way to live, and it's vital that we put forward a more compelling vision for the future so that we save as many people as possible f...

This is the tool you need to be using as often as possible to win the hearts of your kids.

A father's emotional availability is one of the biggest drivers of generational faith and a peaceful home.

But it's misunderstood, not well practiced, and definitely not well supported.

In this episode, you'll learn why the father's heart posture is SO important, how he can start to shift it more toward his kids, how his wife can help with humility ...

None of the rhythms, habits, tactics, or strategies we talk about will work if you lose your kids' hearts in the process.

This is the foundational, fundamental connection you need in order to truly build a family team that survives the ups and downs of life.

In this episode, we're trying something new, and we're honestly really excited about it...

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...
