Jeremy and his wife April are excited to bring you episode 1 of our new series all about motherhood! Today we're joined by Michelle Akrami and Justine Cirullo, who just so happen to be the wives of some of our guests on the fatherhood episode side of things, Cameron Akrami and Chris Cirullo.
The main thrust of this conversation surrounds the recent controversy about a commencement speech made by NFLer Harrison Butke, where he suggested most of the women in the crowd were most likely looking forward to marriage and motherhood, rather than using their degree in the workforce.
We'll also dive into the transition from maiden to mother to matriarch, including real world examples.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:27 A momentous day for the FT Podcast...new motherhood content!
2:07 One example of the many hysterical reactions to Harrison Butker's commencement speech
7:48 Moms react to Harrison Butker's speech from the Family Teams perspective of family
15:04 Why we're interested in these issues at Family Teams (and it's not political)
19:06 When the anti-family culture seeps into the church
28:04 What does a matriarch actually look like?
32:30 Maiden to mother to matriarch
42:09 Our culture tells women to hold on to the maiden stage forever
