There's a deep-seated mentality that's wrong, in my opinion, that all technology is morally neutral.

I think that's a fundamentally flawed assumption.

All technology has some motive behind it.

Just to say that technology is a tool you can use it for good or you can use it for bad.

It's a very naive way to approach technology.

There's going to be some kind of exit that families will have to take

unless they want to continue going down this road.

Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast. Our goal here is to help your family become a multi-generational

team on mission by providing you with biblically rooted concepts, tools, and rhythms.

Your hosts are Jeremy Pryor and Jefferson Bethke and we can't wait to chat about all things family.

Everybody, welcome back to the podcast. I'm here once again. My friend Rory grows. Rory,

I'm really excited about this new project you guys are kicking off and I want to hear all about it. It's on Kickstarter and we backed it. Henry and The Great Society. It's a book you guys are republishing. So kind of walk me through what the book's about and what motivated you guys to jump into this project. Yeah, certainly. Thanks again for having me back. It's good to be back on the show. I've really appreciated. Since the last time I was on, we've heard from a lot of folks that were following along on building their own family economies. And so it's been really neat. And I appreciate you just allowing me to be a guest on the show. Absolutely. So, you know, just kind of taking it from the top, this book, it was originally written several decades ago.

I think it was over 50 years ago that it originally came out.

And it's kind of fallen out of print.

You can find use copies here and there and things like that.

And so it was, it's kind of one of those books lost to time.

But the book, Henry and the Great Society is just in a nutshell, it's about a farm family that's in roughly kind of the mid-20th century, so like the 40s, 50s.

And this is just about the time where, you know, America is modernizing, of course, and all of the modern conveniences that we're used to today,

all the electricity, the plumbing, the gadgets, the automobiles, the paved roads, all of these

things that we just kind of take for granted today, we're just beginning to make entrances into

some of the more remote rural locations of America. And so this story is a, it's a fictional story, but it's a true to life, you know how that is,

of kind of an author's recounting of his own experience.
