Gentlemen...the future is going to get really weird, really fast.
I'm talking like, maybe in the next 2 years. Max, no more than 10.
And this isn't me making up numbers with my tinfoil hat on in my conspiracy bunker.
These numbers are coming from the top AI experts on the PLANET. They all give 2-5 year timelines before things get really, really weird...and potentially dystopian. 10 for the "ridiculous" conservative estimate.
We're talking ALL jobs vanishing.
And maybe much, much worse. Depends on how benevolent AI is.
We HAVE to talk about this seriously.
Family captains are prepared.
We don't know how it's going to play out, but I will tell you this much...
Family leadership is THE thing.
It's always been THE thing, but we're about to find out just how important it really is.
Join us in opening this discussion, because it's going to be the most important discussion we as fathers and leaders have.

Are you going to be as uncomfortable as JM during this episode?
Honestly we hope you are.
Because here's the thing...
Most men have no freaking idea how sweet marriage and family life can be.
They spend their hard earned money truck accessories, or a vacation.
That might have a little, tiny bit of fruit.
But guys there is a way to invest in your family that has GENERATIONAL fruit. For your life, for your wife's life, for your kids' lives, for your grandkids' lives...
Our goal is to make you aware of that today. And if we have different values, that's cool.
But we wouldn't be loving you if we didn't at least give a good, complete overview of what life COULD look like, if you're willing to take the plunge.

You've probably never heard parenting advice like this.
Not because it's radical.
But because it's Biblical, wise, and proven by it's fruit.
The culture hates you, it wants to confuse you, and one of the main ways it does that is by making you think there's no such thing as parenting wisdom...that you're just supposed to 'make it up'...or not even think about it in the first place.
We are here to dispel that lie and teach you some basic foundational things about what your expectations should be like to lead a loving, godly home as the father.
Discipline, consequences, speaking to your kids, the difference between boys and girls when parenting...
This is a must listen for all Christian fathers who want to apply wisdom to their fatherhood.

Nobody tells men that our lives will shift into autopilot without us noticing. They didn’t warn us that our marriage would drift into average instead of amazing. But Christians should have the best marriages and the best sex lives. The Family Captain will show you how.
The culture and our own sin leads many men these days to accidentally masculinize their wives.
In turn, their wives become less feminine, less sweet, less submissive...
Husband and wife become more like "life partners".
Nobody's happy, everyone's stressed, and no one knows why.
Well, this is why.
In this episode we'll unpack exactly how you're (accidentally) making your wife act like a man, and what to do about it, because our goal is to help you become the greatest man your wife and kids have ever known.
When you unlock the levels of leadership we walk you through, you'll find your wife likely responding in more feminine, tender, open, helpful, and submissive ways.
Let's dive in.

What started as figuring out how to lead a "type a", go-getter wife, quickly turned into a DEEP dive on the importance of rest, Sabbath, and margin.
Too many people don't even THINK about this topic today. We live in a go-go-go society.
I've got news for everyone:
You can't do it all.
You're not God.
If you don't have time for everything you've "got" to do, then it's not from the Lord, plain and simple.
Time to start developing your life around your actual values, and make some trade offs. But you MUST build rest into your weekly rhythm for you AND your wife.

Look, things are crazy out there, guys.
And seemingly only getting crazier.
So what is a man to do?
Do we become insular and shy away from the things presented to us?
Do we grab the bull by the horn and demand everyone fall in line?
Or is there another way forward for men who want to be Family Captains?
In this episode, we talk about a lot of timeless things relevant to Christian husbands at this point in history, including how to do a "fruit assessment" in your marriage and life, how to not be paralyzed by what's going on, how to win at home AND work, and more.
Let's dive in.

There's not a lot more dangerous than being a limp man.
It's one thing if you're ignorant and ready for a wake up call...
But it's another thing entirely if you're just passive, not making the changes you know need to be made, and letting life slide by.
Today is our wake up call to you if you've been slacking on taking ACTION.
Don't navigate backwards...make sure to watch this one and take the first little step into becoming a strong, erect, penetrating man of action.

Do the small things really make a difference?
Should you really start by making your bed when your home is in chaos?
The answer may surprise you.
It doesn't sound sexy, it's not a home run...but if you hit singles and a couple of doubles, you're rounding the bases. When you take care of the little things, that 1%, 3% increase adds up.
Turns out the big things are tackled one little thing at a time.
We'll explain the broken window theory of family leadership in this episode, and give you some specific ideas on how to start levelling up TODAY, without the overwhelm of having to figure it ALL out.

You think your 7/10 marriage is pretty good.
Then you discover what a biblical marriage actually looks like and realize you're closer to 7/100.
The problem isn't that you need better communication or more date nights...it's that you've been sold a lie about partnership and mutual submission that's turned you into a family butler instead of a family captain.
What if everything you've been taught about loving your wife is backwards? What if the "nice guy" approach that keeps the peace is actually destroying the respect, freedom, and passion your marriage was designed for?

Last week, Charlie Kirk’s life was cut short by an act of evil.
In the days since, countless stories have surfaced - not of controversy, but of a man marked by conviction, grace, and an unshakable devotion to his faith and family. His friends, colleagues, and even opponents testify to a rare combination: courage to speak truth without apology, and restraint to meet hostility with patience.
In this episode, we reflect on what Charlie’s life and death reveal about legacy, the cost of truth, and the quiet strength of a husband and father who left behind more than a movement.
If you’ve ever wondered what it means to live boldly, love deeply, and lead with faith in a world full of noise, this conversation will give you both challenge and hope.

Nobody tells men that our lives will shift into autopilot without us noticing. They didn’t warn us that our marriage would drift into average instead of amazing. But Christians should have the best marriages and the best sex lives. The Family Captain will show you how.
We have a very special episode today, because JM's wife Natalie Clark joins us again for the second time.
This is another peak behind the curtain to give you the information you won't find anywhere else when it comes to becoming a godly, masculine leader who builds a great family with a respectful, submissive wife.
Find out what Natalie thought JM did wrong in the early days, why submission is actually beautiful to Natalie, how to get your kids to do chores, how to support your discouraged wife, and much, MUCH more.
Every Christian man who wants to build an even better family needs to listen to this one.

Stop settling for a "good enough" marriage.
There's a myth that a "stable", "decent" marriage is the end goal.
We're here to tell you that there is SO much more.
You might think you're a 7/10 right now and be okay with it, but we want to show you that by getting to 10/10 you'll learn that it actually goes to 100. And once you're a 100/100, you'll find out that it actually goes to 1000.
Things. Can. Keep. Getting. Better.
Like to a degree you will hardly believe from where you're at right now.
I'm not even talking about crisis marriages...I'm talking about most of the guys we work with who have "pretty good" marriages.
Guys. There's so much more.
Find out what it looks like and how to get there in this episode.

A family captain is compassionate.
A family captain takes responsibility.
A family captain has...
Authority.
(This is where the shrieking starts and everybody and their cat tries to cancel us).
It's just Biblical guys, and we're not sorry for it.
In this episode we break down exactly what we mean by authority and power, and how to use it effectively as the third, and often missing, leg of leadership.
