We Accidentally Built A Degenerate Mating System That's Leading To Polygamy Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

People are starting to wake up to this, and call it for what it truly is, but I still think they're hedging too much. They're not going all the way, because many people are ignorant of the freedom-obsessed sea in which they swim.

This is a hugely important topic that will impact how our kids and grandkids grow up and experience life, and I want to call it out right now:

We're moving into a period where there will be a cultural war between polygamy and monogamy as the Christian sexual ethic continues to be cast off in our society.

In this episode I break down a recent article and share why this is so devastating and why Christians still have the best response, as long as we actually respond.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

3:00 Framing the debate

6:31 The most powerful incentive of all

8:43 Everyone hedges (and I wish they wouldn't)

11:03 The root of the problem

13:26 Polygamy vs. Monogamy

Why The Modern Corporation Might Be The "ANTI-FAMILY" Dec 23, 2025

Show notes

Just as there are anti-christs who will come to take the place of Christ, I believe there could be anti-families that come to take the place of family.

Now I'm not saying that corporations are antichrists.

But I am saying that the analogy might hold.

When we shifted the locus of economic activity from the family to this new entity called the corporation...what did that actually do to the family?

I'd argue it did a lot.

And if we want to have flourishing families that obey God's original mandate in Genesis 1:28, perhaps we need to start thinking about how we can build within our own multi-generational family instead of building another corporate entity.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:11 Are modern corporations The Anti-Family?

3:47 Why didn't God create corporations?

8:48 Corporations vs families

The Intentional Age: Raise A Strong Family In Our Techno Dystopia Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

The biggest distinction between people in the next generation will be between those who live by accident and those who live by intention.

Specifically, it will be those people who grew up with parents who were intentional about technology, and kept it mostly away from their kids, and those who just "went with the flow" and passed on their screen/technology addiction.

How do we buck the trend of "going with the flow", though?

If only there were something about humans and how God made us that could protect our kids...

Oh yeah, there is.

It's called a patriarch.

Join me in considering what's coming down the pipeline and how families can raise intentional kids.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:28 Wise cultures

3:48 How to avoid the vortex of the techno dystopia

9:44 A strong will and community

13:01 We MUST protect children

18:14 What to do now

How Doug Wilson SHOULD Have Answered Sam Harris' Attacks on Christianity Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

Sam Harris recently had Doug Wilson on his podcast where he brought up 2 "kill shots" against Christianity.

One is women's right to vote.

The other is slavery.

While I think Doug did a decent job explaining household voting as a reasonable and ideal alternative to our current voting system, he left a LOT to be desired in his defence of Biblical slavery.

The first conversation is good, and something we've talked about here at Family Teams, so I hope you'll watch it and get a sense of why household voting could work.

But the second one is very important. Not because it's culturally relevant today, necessarily, but because so many atheists and libertarians think that there's a glaring moral hole in the Bible as it relates to slavery. We MUST be able to defend how the Bible talks about slavery, and I give my version of what I think Doug should have said here.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:43 Doug Wilson responds to whether women should vote

13:16 Boomers and individualism

17:28 How to think about slavery as Christians

36:54 The only abolitionists were Christians

Do Christian's Owe A Debt of Honor To Today's Jews? Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

Jeremy's joined by Jeff, Ryan, and his daughter Kelsey to discuss whether the Bible encourages today's Christians to honor today's non-believing Jews.

This is a hot topic, and I think the answer is yes, but I wanted to hash it out with people on both sides of this. This ended up being a thoughtful discussion ranging from Genesis to the New Testament, from honor to salvation.

If you care about the Bible and God's plans for the world and for the Jews in particular, this is an important question to come up with an answer to.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

2:49 Ryan's Initial Thoughts

5:56 Jeff's Initial Thoughts

8:52 Jeremy's Position

13:40 5 Examples Where The Bible May Describe a Debt of Honor Being Due

35:25 Definition, Gifts, Romans

48:28 Revoke or Rejected Covenant?

53:52 Why NOT To Be Arrogant

59:57 Parable of Tenants

1:09:53 Nuance of Honor

1:17:28 Abrahamic Covenant

Woke Moral Outrage Is DESTROYING Us...Here's The Answer Oct 21, 2025

Show notes

Why is our culture obsessed with sex, race, and Israel? And what do these moral battles have in common?

In this episode, we unpack a powerful biblical lens that explains our modern obsession with virtue-signaling and moral outrage.

From pride flags to anti-racism campaigns to protests over Gaza, each movement taps into humanity's desperate need to feel good...to be one of the "good guys."

But Scripture reveals that this hunger for moral justification isn't new; it began in the Garden of Eden.

Discover how the gospel uniquely answers our craving for moral virtue, without hypocrisy, pride, or destruction.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:43 The Human Need to Be Seen as Good

4:50 Sexual Ethics and the New Morality

8:28 The Bible's Solution: Admitting We're The Baddies

11:49 Racism and the Modern Morality Game

15:13 Antisemitism and the Search for Moral Superiority

19:25 The Gospel as the Only Way Out

In this episode, Jeremy unpacks a conversation between New York Times columnists Ross Douthat and Ezra Klein - two brilliant minds from opposite ends of the political spectrum.

What begins as a discussion about progressivism's future quickly becomes a deep philosophical exploration of faith, meaning, and purpose in modern politics.

Jeremy walks us through the unraveling of Klein's vision for "the good life" and what that says about the spiritual emptiness of today's cultural left.

Stay tuned until the end, because what Klein finally admits might surprise you.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:57 Progressive despair

3:10 Obama was liberal high water mark

3 Surprising Practices of Successful Multi-Generational Families Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

This episode breaks down 3 of the 10 surprising practices of multi-generational families that Jeremy has identified.

From celebrating talent in big families (without relying on teachers/coaches/tutors/etc.), to protecting daughters from the degenerate culture of feminism, to setting up the family leadership under a respected and cherished patriarch and matriach...these things are counter-cultural, but that's what we need if we're ever going to build a multi-generational family.

Today's culture certainly isn't building them!

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

3:23 10 surprising practices

4:40 Celebrate talent through family showcases

10:12 Safeguard daughters from harm

18:24 Patriarch and matriarch
