Family Revision with Jeremy Pryor
What does it mean to be a multigenerational team on mission? Jeremy Pryor, author of Family Revision, joins Steven to talk about his own fatherhood journey, how our culture has created a counter-narrative to the Biblical ideal of fatherhood and how you can start realigning your own family rhythms and goals with a classical understanding of family. This is one of the best episodes we’ve had – learn more about what Jeremy is up to at https://familyteams.com/.

BlogPod: LoDoFeb
I can make you hundreds of dollars in one month by telling you what to NOT do. You will end that month having eaten well, having fun, and at more peace than when you started. Don’t think I can? I can.

The Porn on Your Phone
Do you remember the good ol’ days when a man who wanted to wander with his nether sexual parts had to leave his abode, physically walk into a seedy part of town, enter a building known by everyone to be a house of ill repute, and THEN and ONLY THEN dive into the dark arts? No? I don’t either… But up until recently (let’s say the past 80 years or so, out of the millennia of human existence), there were effectively NO options for having your illicit fancies tickled (or tickling your fancy… or whatever you call that thing) that didn’t require you to at least risk public exposure. Those days are gone, and we are going to talk about the implications for your household. Read up here: https://abrahamswallet.com/2018/09/26/smartphones-and-porn/

Talking Tech and Boredom
Steven and Mark sit down to chat through a couple of articles that we wrote on technology and the value of sometimes being bored. As we’re trying a new format here, we’d love your feedback. You’ll notice that we had a technical issue mid-pod that forced Steven to the phone lines, but we think you’ll get good stuff none the less. Please let us know what you think! Articles we discuss: Alright, let’s talk about smartphones And: Give Boredom a Chance
