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.
Derrick has a lot of...

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...

The family compound...
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.
Should you actually try to build a family compound?
Why or why not?

Andrew Bagley of the Visible Hand says children didn't get expensive...they got unnecessary.
And his argument is right on.
This sounds insulting at first, but watch the clip and you'll understand.
The problem is, he breaks down the problem brilliantly...but doesn't give a solution.
Not only that, but you'll hear it s...

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.
Today's guests have 5 children and have been very intenti...

Should marriage start with the assumption that it's essentially a business?
That's a shocking thing to hear for our modern, western ears.
But Adam Lane Smith is right.
Family is supposed to be a productive enterprise.
It's only recently that we've taken all productivity out of the home and become such hyper-individualized atomic units, separated from each oth...

And some of the experts like Dr. Becky get a LITTLE bit of the puzzle right...
But they're missing something HUGE.
It goes way, way deeper than "parenting tactics", but it's not new.

This episode explores the reasons why the Protestant church is directly contributing to the destruction of the multi-generational household.
I'll dive into 3 specific issues that I see, and then give steps I think we can take as a church to solve them, so that we stop teaching an unbiblical view of family, which has far reaching consequences.
On this episode, we talk about:

Money is such a contentious issue. In the world at large, but specifically within the Christian community.
The love of money is the root of all evil...but does that mean making money is wrong?
Do I really need to tithe 10%?
Is budgeting a lack of trust in God?
There's a million questions that end up becoming quite theological, and it can be tough to find God's peace in the whole conversation.
That's why we brought on Bob Lotich, fr...

Humans are meant to live in a large, rooted, multigenerational family.
The modern world has destroyed that.

Everything we do revolves around that idea.

Rob Kenney is best known as the man behind the viral Youtube account, "Dad, How Do I?"
He shares videos explaining things that dads ought to have taught their kids...
How to tie a tie, how to change a tire, how to make good food, etc.
And he hit a nerve when he burst onto the scene in 2020, tapping into the father-hunger unconsciously felt by many young people today.
But there's more to him than just fixing stuff.

David Nasser narrowly escaped Iran in 1979 after the revolution.
He saw "religion gone wrong" and decided that he hated God.
You'll have to listen to what happened next, but it's one of the most glorious testimonies we've heard in a long time.
David knows only too well that this is a critical moment for the underground church in Iran.
