Family Teams Ep 5: Marriage as a Partnership
What can Star Wars and Pontius Pilate teach us about God's design for marriage? A surprising amount, actually. In this episode, I'm going to dive into one of the most loaded marriage terms in the Bible: "suitable". Do you know what this word actually means in the original Hebrew? It's not at all what you think. In fact, I almost never hear people talking about this. There seem to be 2 camps that can basically be summed up as, "my wife needs to submit to everything" and "we're equal so nobody leads". The definition of this word makes ALL the difference, and really shines a light on how God designed marriage, and how it operates best. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Star Wars and Pontius Pilate?! 1:27 Why Marriage Actually Exists 5:25 The Most Loaded Phrase About Marriage 8:29 Star Wars Marriage 19:31 One Almost Sane Person Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: The Family Teams Course Episodes on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWovOhMvQvR8 --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Family Teams Ep 3: Why Did God Invent Family?
🎁 FREE GIFT: 5 Days To Transform Your Family Into A Team: https://familyteams.com/transform Why did God invent the family? Even though it's very obviously in the Bible, most Christians today have no idea what the family is for, or why God made it. In fact, the standard answer, at least in our Protestant churches, seems to be that the secular world's version of family is just fine and we don't need to look any further. But this is crazy! We have a major family crisis in the western world right now, and much of it is because Christians have forgotten what the Bible so plainly states. In this episode, we're challenging Christians to actually take this very specific verse seriously, and start to live out the five-fold mandate God gave to families. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Why Did God Invent The Family? 1:28 The Redefinition of Family 3:11 What Would Happen If The Church Took This Verse Seriously? 6:20 This Is What "Be Fruitful" Means 8:40 Multiply Generationally 10:34 Filling The Earth 12:22 How Do We Subdue Today? 14:02 Extending The Kingdom of God by Ruling 15:13 What If You Adopted A Truly Biblical Vision of Family?

The Money Mindset of Successful Christian Families ft. Derrick Kinney
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 practical advice both financially but perhaps more importantly, on how to develop deep family unity, build a generous family culture, and relieve yourself (as a Christian) from the burden of money shame and conflict. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 The Intersection of Faith, Family, and Finances 1:19 How To Do An Annual Sabbatical 9:04 Waiting For Generosity? 13:40 Christians Are Deeply Conflicted About Money 19:47 Backing Yourself Into A Commitment 25:14 Keeping Family Unity High Resources Mentioned: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/derrickkinney/ Newsletter: https://successforadvisors.myflodesk.com/winyouridealclients 5 Days To Transform Your Family FREE Course: https://familyteams.com/transform --- Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!
