Every single family had an economic engine at their core.

They had a trade they were a part of.

They owned land.

They were farmers.

Over 70% of Americans were farmers at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries.

This was totally normal for the vast amount of human history.

What we're experiencing now is a very unusual season, a period of time in which we've decided to divorce economic activity in the

family. And it has been disastrous. All right. Well, Jeremy Pryor, hey, thank you so much for once

again coming on to the podcast and talking with us. Katie and I have both found so much inspiration

from your writing, from all the resources that you've created for families. And so we're grateful that we can, you know, have you here on our podcast. And maybe if people don't know who you are, they can be introduced to you now. And so for the people that maybe do or don't, I mean, either way, for the people listening, can you actually, before we dive into some of these subjects we're going to talk about

today give us a quick intro for who you are you know who is jeremy prior in the year 2025 are you

married you have children what what do you do yeah thank you guys so much for having me back on so

love getting to spend time talking to you guys about these things um Yeah, so we live here in the kind of Cincinnati

area. We have five kids. Now we have four grandkids just had our fourth grandbaby born a couple

days ago. So we're super excited about that. Yeah, we live in a four-generation house. So my parents

live here. Two of our adult kids with their kids, our grandkids live here.

Then my oldest daughter lives across the street. So we all live and work together. And this was kind of the vision that inspired our family was we spent time in the Middle East, just saw a different way of doing family that, oh, is this a team or are we trying to launch out for individual success? So we sort of,

I grew up in the Seattle area. I just was very familiar with just the breakdown of family and

started to imagine, okay, does the Bible teach the way we're doing family exactly? So we dove deep

into kind of Abraham and really saw a different, a whole different philosophy or theology of family

and began to apply to our family when I was in my kind of late 20s. And yeah, now we're 25 years

into that, that process. And it's, it's been amazing. We've started seven businesses as a family.
