Jeremy argues that most modern dads are using a <em>brand-new</em> cultural blueprint for family… and it’s not working.</p><p>This conversation is full of hope, honesty, and practical steps to help you create a home your kids will want to belong to for generations.</p><p><strong>What You’ll Learn</strong></p><ul><li>Why the modern Western family structure is historically unusual — and often ineffective</li><li>The biblical blueprint for family that leads to connection, mission, and long-term joy</li><li>The power of <em>three generations at one table</em></li><li>How to win your child’s heart through simple weekly rhythms</li><li>Why intentional dads must play both <strong>offense and defense</strong> in today’s culture</li><li>How to protect your child spiritually in a world full of digital “portals”</li><li>What it looks like to raise kids who stay connected long after they leave your home</li></ul><p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p><p><strong>• Strong families begin with healed men.</strong><br>You cannot lead your home if you’re disconnected from Jesus or from your own heart.</p><p><strong>• Ideas matter.</strong><br>Most dads inherited a blueprint that leads to isolation — not mission.</p><p><strong>• Connection is built through rhythm, not random effort.</strong><br>Weekly feasts, 1:1 traditions, family stories, and regular check-ins matter.</p><p><strong>• Your kids need your protection — spiritually, emotionally, digitally.</strong><br>Today’s culture demands intentional defense, not passive hope.</p><p><strong>• Legacy starts now.</strong><br>You’re building something your grandkids will feel — whether intentionally or by default.</p><p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p><p><strong>Free Step 6 PDF:</strong> <a href="https://www.dadtired.com/7steps">dadtired.com/7steps</a><br><strong>Jeremy Pryor’s Family Teams Resources:</strong> <a href="https://courses.familyteams.com/family-teams-lead-magnet-connect">familyteams.com</a><br><strong>Jeremy’s Book:</strong> <a href="https://amzn.to/3Mxqv0F"><em>Family Revision</em></a><br><strong>Sponsor:</strong> <a href="https://backgateprayers.com">Backgate Prayers</a> — Use code <strong>DADTIRED<br>Make a donation to the ministry </strong><a href="https://www.dadtired.com/donate"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>. </strong></p>
