Summary

Families are high above businesses and other outside ministries, but we can learn so much from how we apply ourselves to business and hopefully get convicted and come back to our home and want to put the structure and intentionality into our home and family.

However, we don’t want to cheapen what marriage or family is by comparing it to a business. Obviously the covenant of marriage is something God ordained. There is a spiritual and holy element to it that a business will never be able to recreate. We’re doing this from the perspective that family and marriage are in a league of its own when it comes to importance and significance for what God has said about it.

Each family, as a culture, will tend to value what the parents value. We’re training our kids with what we do with our time. Companies that run for generations often have had a generational view in mind when they started and the kids were able to take and make it even better, which is the prayer for our family.

Howdy folks, welcome back to the podcast today, Catherine Joy, and myself are going to be talking about how we have taken business strategies and applied them to our family.

0:11.0

And we're going to talk about how we think that we can actually learn a lot from the sports world, we can learn a lot from the corporate world, we can learn a lot from the non-family sector and how we can best operate as a family.

0:25.0

And we can really optimize the time that we have with our children here in the home.

0:30.0

And, yeah, actually, there's a few more things that I'm going to say about this, because you guys know I'm a man of prefaces, but before I get into that, let's go ahead and head into the intro.

0:40.0

Here we are. And I mean, you can tell by your turtle neck and my big pico, the studio is cooling down.

0:56.0

Yeah, you could probably also tell we're about to go on a date.

0:59.0

I don't know how they'll be able to tell that.

1:01.0

Well, I don't know. I feel like we're a little more dressed up than usual.

1:09.0

Yeah, so we're recording this and then we're going to go grab dinner.

1:13.0

And I am so hungry. I have been so hungry for like an hour and a half.

1:17.0

So we'll see if the brain, you know, still thinks we'll see how far the brain can function.

1:33.0

You don't have our point home till it's dead in the face or blue in the as a horse.

1:38.0

And so hopefully we don't do either of those things.

1:41.0

Yeah, so I'm just waiting here the prefaces.

1:44.0

What are your prefaces before we jump into this?

1:48.0

Yeah, well, my prefaces, my prefaces to the prefaces are one, it's Thanksgiving week.

1:53.0

And so I need it right now at the time that we're recording this.
