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
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.
This episode cove...
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...
The decision to have kids - or, more commonly these days, to NOT have kids - isn't just some random decision your kids make.
It comes after years of seeing how you treat fatherhood and motherhood. Whether you value it. Whether you've taught them the importance of their gender and how God intentionally created them that gender, and that He loves certain things about that gender.
If you value family, having kids, and obeying God, the...
Jeremy is joined by Accelerator Coaches Brent and Katie Kruithof to explore how to incorporate biblical holidays into your family's traditions.
We dive into the significance of these holy days, creative ways to make them fun and meaningful for kids, and the importance of combining ancient traditions with modern family life.

One of our favorite ways to disciple our kids - while having a ton of fun - is to celebrate the 7 Biblical feasts.
They're not just for Jewish people...they all prefigure Christ, and are an amazing opportunity to talk about the Gospel to our kids on an annual rhythm.
This month's focus in the Family Teams Accelerator is how to le...
Jeremy is joined by Rory Groves, who moved his family to a homestead 12 years ago and eventually quit his software engineer job to build a family economy.
They talk about the implications of the industrial revolution and how anti-family (and anti-God) it is, and how families can start to make the mindset shift to build a family economy in a modern world.
There are some really fundamental, theological questions that require wrestlin...
Is it pointless to try to leave a family legacy when your great grandkids probably won't even know who you are?
That's what business influencer Alex Hormozi said recently. "Just help people now, don't worry about a family legacy", is essentially his argument.
Reilly Pilgrim and Chris Cirullo join Jeremy to discuss whether this is the right way to think about this as Christians building Family Teams. Jeremy shows us that the Bible a...
This month in the Family Teams Accelerator, we're going deep on The Romantic Partnership.
Marriage is so much more than just romance or just partnership. We think it fundamentally has three parts to it that we've spent a long time trying to get right. In this episode, we're joined by Rhett and Angela Barbour, who are our Accelera...

The world...even most of the Christian world...sees marriage wrong.
Marriage is not primarily a romantic, love-based relationship.
It's much more than that. It's a covenant, designed to create a God-honoring family that lasts 1000+ generations.
In this episode, you'll learn 3 things we've done to build our own marriage that also seems to have worked f...
Birth rates are declining rapidly across the Western and developed world.
Yet...there are still families out there having 5+ children, completely defying modern trends.
What encourages someone to have a large family?
How do we promote the benefits and joys of having a lot of kids?
What does it mean for the future of our country and our world?
In today's episode, Jeremy dives into this topic with economist and author, Dr. Catherine ...
Modern parenting experts are saying some pretty bizarre things.
Is it truly good for children to get a sense that they're not in charge?
Or does parental authority somehow limit their freedom of expression?
Is the chief aim of parenting to create a "safe" environment for our kids?
Should we force our kids to create their own vers...
