The Family Readiness Podcast
Real Talk for Parents Who Refuse to Outsource Leadership
If you're tired of weak parenting advice, culture-soaked schools, and Sunday sermons that don’t touch the real threats your kids face—this podcast is for you.
Hosted by Rick Seigmund—former federal agent turned family protector—we don’t tiptoe around the truth. We expose the digital traps, cultural lies, and soft parenting trends wrecking faith-based homes, and give you the tools to fight back with strength, strategy, and biblical clarity.
- Here, we talk about:
- Locking down devices without losing your kid’s trust
- Raising kids who know who they are (and whose they are)
- Family Resilience and Stewardship
- Real World physical safety and security in a world where your kids are the target
- Building a home that doesn’t bend to culture—it transforms it
This is the place for parents who know that being "nice" isn't enough.
We're not playing defense—we're training up warriors.
