What Goldilocks Can Teach Families About Growing Up, Gender Roles, and Defending Your Home Against Destructive Ideologies Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

Jeremy Pryor sits down with his son Jackson and daughter Sydney to dissect the symbolic meaning of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Fairy tales are not just silly tales to distract and entertain kids...they are PACKED with meaning and "truer than fact" in the sense that they convey deep principles about how reality actually works. They're designed to warn children and help them make better decisions when faced with trials in their lives.

In Goldilocks, we're faced with the girl's version of Peter Pan...the youth who never wants to grow up and accept their role and responsibility. We see the destructive nature of this within family, and the impact of a culture intent on deconstructing and changing both fairy tales and the "common sense" they bring about.

On this episode, we talk about:

1:15 Introducing Goldilocks and the Three Bears (and how it relates to family and identity)

6:18 Goldilocks is about the struggle that children have to mature and fit into a family

8:29 The initial symbols to pay attention to

16:19 How a child finds her role in the family system

31:59 The collective impact of both the symbolism and the reality of this story playing out in our culture today

42:19 The risk of unintentionally inviting things into your home that are ruining your family

50:39 Why fairy tales are more important than ever today

How to Thrive as a Family in a World Built for Total Government Control Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

Jeremy Pryor is joined by his daughter Sydney to discuss a couple of relevant cultural topics. They react to the dystopian vision one of Obama's old campaign ads shows (which we see playing out even moreso today), then react to Louise Perry on the Triggernometry Podcast as she suggests that urban environments are killing fertility and that villages are "reproduction machines".

Learn to see what's going on around you as government and anti-family messaging seeps into more and more areas of our life, so that you can build a thriving family...even when it seems like everything is against you.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:33 Recapping July 4th in a small, cohesive town

3:07 Obama's dystopian campaign ad (and why it's actually a theological question)

13:53 The question isn't "are these things important" but "should government be doing these things?"

24:24 Louise Perry on the Triggernometry Podcast on urbanization and birth rate

28:56 Villages are like reproduction machines

34:17 What elements to consider when choosing a "village" to live in to build a multigenerational family team

The Risk of Electing Childless Political Leaders (JD Vance Reaction) Jul 30, 2024

Show notes

In this episode Jeremy and his wife April discuss Vice-Presidential Nominee JD Vance's comments about the Democratic Party being run by childless "cat ladies". This is not a partisan political conversation, but one looking to find the theological principles of family and leadership as they relate to the political realm.

Jeremy and April try to answer the questions, "does leading your own family help you become increasingly qualified for leadership positions, both in the church and in government?" And "does having children give you a different kind of lens through which to see policy-level decisions that makes you more qualified?"

On this episode, we talk about:

1:52 Disclaimer on political discussions

4:37 JD Vance says the Democratic party is run by childless people...offensive or important distinction?

9:28 Why this is a conversation that's important for us to have as Christians

17:14 It IS our business to question the family decisions and leadership of the most powerful people in our country

23:48 The unique challenge of high-levels of childlessness

29:37 God's curriculum for turning us into servant leaders

36:14 The two pictures of leadership

Toxic Empathy and the Spirit of Antichrist Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

Join Jeremy and his wife April as they discuss Jeremy's essay on toxic empathy, and the under-appreciated antichrist threat at the core of the social justice movement.

So much wickedness is done today under the guise of Christ-like morality devoid of Christ Himself. It's great to be gentle and just and kind, but if those things are done without Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith...if they're done in a secular sort of way...then we're in trouble. In fact, we're already seeing some of the results of this, even among our churches!

We'd love you to join us in thinking about this topic so that we can be more aware of both ditches on either side of the narrow road...the ditch of Satanic power and destruction, and the ditch of antichrist Christ-less compassion.

On this episode, we talk about:

1:10 Toxic Empathy and the Spirit of Antichrist (an essay by Jeremy Pryor)

6:10 Jesus vs. Social Justice

14:57 No morality or correct politics without Christ

21:59 No boundaries leads to toxic compassion

24:28 The uncomfortable response of many churches on the topic of family

27:00 Could we have seen social justice and the spirit of antichrist coming?
