What Does Trump's "Hyper-Masculine" Victory Mean for Families and America? Nov 19, 2024

Show notes

The 2024 election was really a contest between the masculine and the feminine.

Trump represents the hyper-masculine in a number of ways we'll get into in this podcast, whereas Kamala represented the hyper-feminine (perhaps not personally, but on a policy and partisan level).

What are the impacts of a nation voting for symbolically masculine leadership and rejecting toxic empathy?

Jeremy and Sydney dive into 3 reflections on this election as it related to family and gender danymics

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

0:55 Waiting to discuss certain things until after the election

1:52 Masculine Men + Feminine Women vs. Masculine Women + Feminine Men

8:28 Gender dynamics in the 2024 presidential election

18:39 Without a Royal Family, the Presidency becomes the symbolic ruling family

25:51 Should government be modelled after God's design for family?

The Patriarch With The Longest Vision Wins Oct 15, 2024

Show notes

The best way to ensure you wind up where you want to be in 5, 10, or even 25 years is to have a vision.

That's why we encourage dads to cast a vision for their family life.

It's too easy to fall into the everyday inertia and never take a moment to consider what you'd actually like your life to look like.

Where is God calling you as a family? What has He put in your heart that requires planning and intentionality?

Follow Abram's journey to becoming Abraham as God lays out a massive, multi-thousand year vision through Abraham and his offspring, and follow some basic questions to start casting your vision today.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:21 The Patriarch With The Longest Vision Wins (new chapter from Jeremy's book)

4:02 A patriarch is a father following a vision

10:50 Casting a vision for your descendants

13:23 You're a part of something way bigger than you

21:24 When vision is thematic and about deepening your faith

24:36 The importance of developing your family mission and vision alongside Scripture and prayer

How To Think About Politics As A Christian (Fareed Zakaria Reaction) Sep 10, 2024

Show notes

Jeremy is joined by friends Phil Goodwin and Kyle to react to Fareed Zakaria's comments about the increasing secularization of culture, and the politicization of religion.

Most of the conversation is spent tackling the tension between operating as a citizen of the United States AND a citizen of heaven. Where do you draw the line? What are the risks of getting too involved? How do we ensure "Christ is Lord" remains our sole focus (rather than creating Gods out of politicians or even ourselves)?

If you have been struggling to order your thinking correctly during this political season as a believer, this episode will give you new ways to approach your thought process and move forward with confidence.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:19 Fareed Zakaria Clip

6:50 The role geography plays in how much religion and politics are intermingled

12:38 The implications of Jesus having come to bring a Kingdom

16:39 The tension of operating in the political arena as a Christian

24:11 Evangelism vs. Policy motivation

32:04 What is the "collision" between Jesus vs political leaders in a democracy?

37:56 The political act of self-renunciation...and the ditches we risk falling into when navigating politics and the church
