Now That We're A Family: Recent Episodes
Elisha and Katie Voetberg
Having children is hands-down one of the most life-changing and impactful events in any person's life. As blissful as it is to welcome a newborn into the world, for many people, it only goes downhill from there. We believe, however, that life can become more rich and beautiful as our family grows in age and numbers. We are so grateful for examples of marriages that become more romantic with each child, fathers and mothers that become more vibrant and energetic as they age, and families that, as a unit, live life to the fullest--blessing their communities as they do.
Jill Winger is the founder of The Prairie Homestead (one of the first homesteading websites and blogs on the internet), a cornerstone of the modern homesteading movement since 2010. Jill and her family pursue a lifestyle of modern-homesteading on the wide open prairies of Wyoming. They dabble in a variety of small-scale agricultural endeavors including organic gardening, grass-fed beef cattle, home dairying, poultry, and more.
Jill’s practical and authentic style of teaching and storytelling has won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of homesteaders through her best-selling cookbook, across social media, and via her top-ranked Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast. She blogs at The Prairie Homestead where she encourages others to return to their roots, no matter where they live. She is passionate about helping people recapture old-fashioned skills that have been lost in our push towards progress and helping them find the purpose and meaning that comes from that.

Chuck Black is a former F-16 fighter pilot and currently is the president and general manager of a chemical injection automation company in the oil and gas industry. He has a degree in electrical and electronic engineering and served eight years in the United States Air Force. Chuck and his wife have six children and nine grandchildren.
Chuck first wrote Kingdom’s Edge to inspire his children to read the Bible with renewed zeal. Through his family devotions, he noticed that his children paid much closer attention when a story was told, such as a parable by Jesus. He began to write a parable of the life of Christ set in a medieval time period where swords, castles, and battles were all Biblically symbolic without the use of magic or wizardry. The response from his children was astounding. All of the sword fights and battle scenes are tastefully written so that parents do not have to be concerned.
It is Chuck’s desire to serve the Lord through his work and to inspire people of all ages to study the scriptures in order to discover the hope and love of a truly majestic King and His Son. Listen today as we talk about fathers being the spiritual leader in your home, dangers of technology in the home, equipping our kids with a spiritual perspective and more great topics!

He is here! Woohoo! Wow. Is there anything better? What a miracle. What a pure blessing. Lionel Peter Voetberg was born on Sunday, July 23rd at 5:36 AM. 8lbs 11oz. God is so generous.
Is there a more glorious thing than being a vessel that carries, incubates, delivers, then sustains a person that bears the image of our great Creator and King? I cannot do that. Katie just did that. Mothers do that. That is incredible!
Thankfully our kiddos were sound asleep for the duration of the labor and delivery. Then, as they awoke, one by one, we got to witness unbridled excitement expressed in ways unique to each of their personalities. This has been the most celebratory child because of how much more our kids understand it and how they have been looking forward to it. They were so pumped to welcome this little guy into the family. It has made it really special and fun. We are a home of celebrants. New life is my favorite thing to celebrate.
We are rejoicing in God’s grace and faithfulness to our family.

Why does it seem that sometimes the most spiritually mature men/families are reluctant to joining a local church? A question that on the surface seems rather puzzling or maybe as though it was an enigma. This has been the case in our own experience in the families we have been a part of and it seems to be the case in many people that we observe from a distance.
We both had similar experiences in our homes growing up. We had fathers that were proactively and very intentionally leading our families in a spiritual manner. They were reading the Bible every day at home. They were studying the Word to understand it and to really be able to defend and articulate their faith. They had a great desire to see their children grow up and walk in the faith. They wanted to equip us with the ability to do that. They also both went through a season of being reluctant to be a consistent part of any local church and opposed to anything formal and official. We were curious what brought this common thread into so many Godly men that we knew of that have been so intentional in leading their homes and families.
Today we are going to talk about what we think our father’s journey was like of not having a high value on the local church, to now definitely having a high value of it and being consistent to their church and why, as well as what we’re planning on doing. We have really come to value the local church and home groups the last three years. It has been such a blessing to our spiritual growth and family. If you aren’t a consistent part of a local body, we highly encourage you to be!

Eric Conn has a degree in sports journalism. He attended seminary in Louisville, KY and has worked for over a decade in the firearms and outdoor media industry as a journalist. He served as a pastor for several years in a small western town, chief of staff at a conservative media company, editor in chief at Gun Digest Magazine and various other managing editor roles at Guns and Ammo Publications and the NRA’s Shooting Illustrated. He is the husband to one lovely wife and the proud father to three strapping young sons. When he’s not podcasting at the King’s Hall and Hard Man Podcast, he’s probably in the back country chasing elk, mule deer, or bear somewhere in the uncharted territory of the west.
Eric is one of the pastors at Refuge Church in Ogden, Utah. He started the Hard Men Podcast because he was really looking for ways pastorally to help men with the issues we are facing. He’s realized, like many people in our culture, that there’s a real problem with sexuality in general. He speaks on how to present a Biblical answer, but that is also robust, has teeth and is really useful for today’s world.
Eric speaks to masculinity, families and culture so well. One of the things he highlights is men need a brotherhood of friends. Something you see in our world a lot, is that adult men don’t have friends. Men need to be surrounded by other Godly men who can help them in their walk with Christ.
Listen today as Eric shares some practical insights and advice on ways to pinpoint the problem with masculinity and how to help solve it.

Today we have a very fun episode for you! I have seven incredible sisters and today I’m here with two of them. These two are currently pregnant with me. Karaline is in her first trimester and Kyla is in her second trimester and I’m wrapping up my third trimester any day now. I thought it would be fun timing, because who knows when this will happen again, and talk about pregnancy, postpartum, big families, having a lot of kids and our vision for family size.
Kyla is 27 and lives in Lexington, Kentucky with her husband Adam. They have two children, ages 3 and 1 1/2 and currently 16 weeks pregnant. They have been married just under 5 years. She is a stay at home mom and also manages and runs Now That I’m A Mother Health.
Karaline is 22 and lives in Eagle, Idaho (just outside of Boise) with her husband Austin. They have a 9 month old baby girl and currently 8 weeks pregnant. They have been married almost 2 years. She is a stay at home mom and also has a home based business with Monat. She loves homemaking and organizing her house. Clean spaces are her thing.
Listen today so you can get a different perspective/response than just mine to some of these questions:
- Did you want a big family growing up? What were your husbands thoughts about it?
- What has been the hardest part for pregnancy, labor and postpartum? Anything catch you off guard?
- What are you most worried about regarding potentially having a lot of kids?
- Karaline, what was the hardest thing about being the middle child?
- How do you feel Mama prepared you for keeping a house and raising children?
- How do you practically do all the things in a day? Take care of kids, spend time with your husband, run a successful home based business, hospitality, etc.
- Have you ever felt unfulfilled in motherhood or like you’ve lost yourself?
Karaline’s quote - “Don’t live a life out of motivation, but out of commitment”

Today on the podcast we are answering a listener question: Are you raising your daughter to become a career woman or a homemaker & wife? We thought that it was an interesting question because we have seen this exact same question asked to multiple different people that we follow online and it’s been interesting to hear their responses.
One gal said specifically that she was not raising her daughter to be either and she could be whatever she wants to be. We thought if you don’t have the target in mind, then you’re going to miss it every time. We do think we should have objective goals for our daughters. Today we will be talking about how to navigate that in the 21st century when there are so many career opportunities and obviously being a wife and mother is a big blessing.
The problem is, is that something or somebody or multiples things/bodies are going to be shaping our daughter’s worldview and shaping them into something. If we’re not proactive in doing that as parents, then again, somebody is. It is of the utmost importance that we take the responsibility seriously as parents in being the prominent voice. We don’t want to be the only voice. We want to find other resources and people that can speak into our children’s lives too.
When it comes to our daughters and equipping them, we want them to grow in capabilities and tactics to be able to add value in any situation that they might find themself in. We also need to speak highly of being a wife and mother to our daughters, just like God does, because the voice against them is so loud. When you look at the narrative in the news, media, songs, all sorts of art and entertainment, education, etc, it has this strong narrative that does not promote being a Godly wife and mother. God thinks and esteems so highly of them. As parents, we need to be extremely vocal in advocating and speaking well of those things and equipping our daughters to thrive in any situation!

Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and in particular, young people to make the case for the Christian faith. Sean still teaches one high school Bible class, which helps give him exceptional insight into the prevailing culture so he can impart his observations poignantly to fellow educators, pastors, and parents alike. In 2008, he received the Educator of the Year award for San Juan Capistrano, California. The Association of Christian Schools International awarded Exemplary Status to his apologetics training. Sean is listed among the top 100 apologists. He earned a Ph.D. in Apologetics and Worldview Studies from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2014.
In April 2000, Sean married his high school sweetheart, Stephanie. They have three children and live in San Juan Capistrano, California. Sean played college basketball at Biola University and was the captain his senior year on a team that went 30-7.
Listen today as Dr. Sean McDowell shares (among other topics) that if you want to pass on your faith to your kids, the effective way to do that and data shows, you have to:
1. Model your faith to your kids. If you don’t model it, it doesn’t matter what you say.
2. Build close, warm, intimate relationship with your kids.
3. Engage them in spiritual, natural conversations, not lectures.
Always look for ways to ask questions and engage them. Affirm that asking questions are great and welcome in the Christian fold.

Do we have friends outside of our family? Do we have church friends? Do we have community? If so, how do we allocate our time accordingly with friends and family? How do we protect our home, but still be a part of the community? Is there some hospitality linked in there?
We have gotten these questions more and more since we have spoken on family. We are clearly advocates of family time. Our interaction with family, whether that be immediate family outside our home, in-laws, our children, and each other, are the highlights and the things that we choose to talk about on this channel. It might sound a little cloistered or people wonder how do we have friendships outside of those familial bonds. We thought it would be fun to share and go through a week/month and share the things that keep us engaged with our church community and local friends and how that looks like in the midst of our every day life.
Our church has facilitated a lot of relational growth for us. I think there is a biblical obligation to the local church body. We are supposed to be there for one another, but I also think there needs to be wisdom for each individual and what that looks like for them, their capacity and bandwidth for their home. It’s about tending first to your primary commitments. You need to look first and foremost to your marriage and to the well-being of your children.
We love everything we get to do right now. Our families get to visit and we are grateful for that. People are coming through town all the time. We get to stay in touch and have fun with them. We go on roadtrips to visit them as well. Our week in and week out friendships are so great! We are richly blessed by the friends in our life right now. God is really really gracious in that area.

Lisa Bass is a mom of 7 (expecting #8 in July) who shares wholesome from scratch recipes, natural living, handmade projects and her simple life in their 1860s farmhouse. Blogging is her family’s full-time gig. She has a podcast called Simple Farmhouse Life where she shares the same thing, but in audio form what she shares on her blog and YouTube channel, Farmhouse on Boone. After the pandemic, she was known for her sourdough. She also does DIY, family recipes, sewing, and is a homeschool mom.
Listen today as we talk about how Lisa is preparing to add baby #8 to her family, her summer routines, handling a perfectionism mindset in parenting and homemaking, how to stay motivated when you feel depleted and homemaking systems that help make her home run smoothly. Lisa also talks about how they don’t own a dishwasher and why she thinks it’s easier to not have one. She loves wearing an apron and working in the kitchen. She enjoys cooking, trying new things and experimenting with recipes. Obviously her business relies on that too, so that makes it easier to stay motivated to be in the kitchen.

Here we are once again tackling one of those topics that I think at one point we said we never wanted to talk about. We don’t want to talk about parenting from a “here’s how you do it" perspective because our oldest is six and if our children ever listen to this one day, they know that we were imperfect parents. We love them very much and we want to get better and better at this. That said, there are some things that are very, very wrong in our opinion about gentle parenting.
While we are called to be gentle in parenting as Christians, subscribing to the gentle parenting philosophy is not something that we should be pursuing. Biblical parenting is gentle, but gentle parenting is not biblical. The Bible says man is born into sin. As parents, it is our job to make our children aware of their sin and their need for a Savior. It is also our job to train them up in the nurture and admonition of Him.
These are God’s children. They are given to us to steward. When we are going to an expert and philosophy that is completely godless, it is not going to be neutral. We cannot expect it to be anti-god. Satan wants to take our kids. They are the next generation. He wants to take their hearts and eliminate the authority that God has placed in their lives as a protection, guidance and support to them. There is an agenda behind this and it’s not neutral.
Punishment is love and love is punishment when it is done in an appropriate and loving way. The most valuable gift a child can receive is a parent's love, time and support. Setting boundaries, having clear expectations and consequences, being able to share the Gospel with our children as often as we can, being as consistent as we can as parents in love and not in anger is so important. We need to go to God’s Word and His Scripture and continue to learn.
We pray that the Lord speaks to some of your through this and He continues to grow us as parents!
- Ephesians 6:1-3 - “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.”
- Proverbs 22:6 - “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
- Jeremiah 17:9-10 - “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”
- Hebrews 12:11 - “Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.”
- Proverbs 22:15 - “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.”
- Proverbs 29:17 - “Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.”
- Proverbs 29:15 - “The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.”
- Proverbs 13:24 - “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”
- Proverbs 3:11-12 - “My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.”
- Leviticus 5:17 - “And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.”

Job 5:17 - “Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

I thoroughly enjoyed the interview you are about to listen to with Skyler Kressin. Skylar is local to this community and has become a friend of mine. He really is an example of somebody living out Christian values and it going noticed. I just noticed Skylar a couple years back when we were working together in the same co-working space. I noticed him bringing his kids to work with him and how he handled himself differently. From that point forward, I wanted to get to know and talk to him. Of course, I’ve been able to do that since then so I was really grateful he was willing to take the time and come on the podcast and share some of his story with you. I got so many insights from this conversation and I know you will too!
Skyler and his high school sweetheart that he married 17 years ago, have 6 children whom they homeschool. He is the founder and CEO of Archer Strategic Advisors, a specialized CPA firm offering high value tax accounting advisory services resulting in unmatched performance. He is a director for the society for American Civic renewal and knows more about GK Chesterton than anyone I’ve ever met.

Families are high above businesses and other outside ministries, but we can learn so much from how we apply ourselves to business and hopefully get convicted and come back to our home and want to put the structure and intentionality into our home and family.
However, we don’t want to cheapen what marriage or family is by comparing it to a business. Obviously the covenant of marriage is something God ordained. There is a spiritual and holy element to it that a business will never be able to recreate. We’re doing this from the perspective that family and marriage are in a league of its own when it comes to importance and significance for what God has said about it.
Each family, as a culture, will tend to value what the parents value. We’re training our kids with what we do with our time. Companies that run for generations often have had a generational view in mind when they started and the kids were able to take and make it even better, which is the prayer for our family.

When a listener asked us, "What is something you've changed your mind about?," it got us thinking that we've changed our mind on a handful of issues and some were pretty big. Changing your mind is a part of growing, especially if the Lord is leading you a different way. The Lord has changed our hearts on a couple things: alcohol, birth control, Christmas, justification and eschatology. We were challenged through the years to go to Scripture, listen to others opinions and determine what we believe, as well as what we think is best for our family.

Against all odds we've made it through 4 years of doing the podcast without talking about Halloween. But we cracked. We caved. We succumbed. Succame? . . .The pressure got to us and we could not resist taking advantage of this seasonal opportunity to share our personal opinions and convictions on a polarizing holiday. Neither Katie or I grew up celebrating Halloween so we never needed to have a sit down conversation to go over the pros and cons and come to our own decision about Halloween. It was just never going to be a part of our home. But as our children have grown and become more curious about this autumn holiday, Katie and I have needed to crystallize then articulate our thoughts on the topic. We recon that if we can tell Leon, Lucy, Louis, and Lawrence our perspective on Halloween then we should be able to tell you guys on the podcast.

A book titled "How To Leave And Cleave" would certainly get my attention and the author, my money. Or the publisher would get the money . . .who pays the agent? Idk. All I know is that starting a life and a home together as a married couple seems to go a little deeper than bank accounts and tax benefits. No, we are not going to break down the mystery of how "two becoming one" works. But we are going to share our experience in both leaving families that have strong, distinct, and in some ways polarizing cultures and creating our own home and culture. We have the great fortune of coming from godly families with countless admirable traits. There is SO MUCH we want to emulate from our experiences growing up in big families. But more often than not, newly weds and young parents would prefer if their new family looked nothing like what they experienced growing up. In either situation, the call to "leave and cleave" and form our own home remains. And I am still waiting to be convinced otherwise that a unified home with a clear mission is more powerful than any organization or individual or the death star.
The Bible Passage Katie was trying to remember: 1st Kings 12:8 "But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him"

Mother of 10 shares Her Wisdom on nurturing respect, masculinity, and purity in her 7 Boys from Toddlers to the Teenage Years.
I had the privilege of sitting down with my Aunt Marilee and answering your questions about parenting . . . specifically boys! Her boys (and men) are sweet and thoughtful, with a strong streak of double backflips off the roof.
Today we talk about teaching boys to care and protect others, as well as learning to let go and let them do things that scare us.

Homeschooling is all we've ever known. In this episode we share what our experience was like interacting with "normal kids," how our parents equipped us for the "real world," and what we want most for our children by the time they leave the "nest." I am trying to think of more things I can put in quotations. I cannot think of any more at this time. Maybe I just "lack creativity."

Katie and I had the rich blessing of having our hearts turned towards our kiddos in a deeper more meaningful way than ever before. We've always loved being with our children and have always believed they are so worth our time and energy but over the last week the Lord really blessed us by turning our affection towards them, allowing us to find real joy, satisfaction, and purpose in parenting. In this episode we share some of the things that we attribute this heart change coming from.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ and my family. That's what I want people to see me get most excited about when they are talking to me. That is definitely what I saw in Eric Ludy when I interviewed him last week. And this left a strong impression on me. After writing 27 books, discipling thousands of young people at the school he founded, and going on speaking tours around the world, it was clear to me that what Eric was most passionate about was the gospel and his family. I feel like we were just starting to scratch the surface to the well of knowledge and helpful insight he has so be sure to go check out his podcast as well as his archive of sermons. I will link them below.

Today we are talking about what convinced us to be an iphone-free family and how that practically looks for us on a day-in and day-out basis!
Because social media is a leg of our business, we talk a lot about the different factors that influenced us via apps.
But in this podcast Elisha touches on some of the other reasons he got rid of his phone a year and a half ago . . . even after he deleted his personal social media accounts!
Youtube. Random Google searches. The weather. Tasks. Reminders. Email. Blurry work/home boundaries. Sports team updates. Being constantly accessible by everyone and everything at ANYTIME . . . it's not a part of our life anymore.
I'm so thankful for the new rest and peace we didn't think was possible in a 21st century home, and we're excited to continue questioning "necessary evils" and determine if they are truly necessary.
Of course, smartphones have greatly blessed us as tools and resources (we have no personal convictions against technology) and they may be in our home again in the future.
But we found the ability to efficiently and instantly shop, research, communicate and interact with the entire world in the cracks of our day became more of a curse than a blessing.
So far, intentionality and a slower pace of life has only enriched our home.
We are thankful for fewer options, decisions, distractions, and opinions in 2022.

Our Sabbath rest has been such a blessing in our home we're excited to share why we started taking one, what that looks like for our family, what is "allowed" and not "allowed" and how to practically rest with four toddlers and the mundane tasks of a household pausing for 24 hours!
We'll do a Q&A at the end as to why we chose Saturday as our Sabbath day instead of Sunday, and whether or not we plan on celebrating other Jewish holidays.
Side note: When I mentioned "communion" in this episode it was referring to the special bread and wine the Jewish community uses for their Shabbat dinners reminding me of communion in Christian services. Clearly, it's not communion. :)

Wow! I honestly don't know what I expected, but I do know that whatever expectations I had for this interview, they were massively exceeded.

That being said, we ultimately understand the sovereign hand of God upon it all even when we didn't see it.

Vocation originally meant a person's calling from God upon their life. The new culturally embraced Webster's dictionary definition of vocation is "a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation." This distortion is commonplace amidst our culture as we run further and further away from what God would have for us and just embrace our feelings. We need to resist this and run to His word as the grounding for our life and family. Only then can we see the true calling upon our lives correctly as husbands, wives, and children. Join Katie & Kyla as they discuss their callings as wives in regards to finances and communication in the episode of the Now That We're A Family Podcast! - Top 5 Tuesday Join our weekly email list to keep up to date with the highlights of what is going on in our family life.

It has been said that your father is the most influential person in your life, present or absent. This truth bears a significant weight when it comes to raising young children into future men and women that glorify God. Our fathers, (though not perfect) brought us up in the fear and admonition of the Lord in some amazing ways which has allowed us to bear this joyful burden of parenting and serving as husbands in some unique ways. Join us, as we discuss the ways our fathers prepared us for life, marriage and leading a family.

Far too often we roll our eyes at the cliches and platitudes spoken on the topic of planning and scheduling. However, Katie and I have found that when we fail to plan, we plan to fail . . . and if we don't prioritize our life someone else will . . .and if we are aiming at nothing, we hit it every, single, time.

We have been highly convicted as we realize how many things we have in our life that are not helpful in our pursuit of what matters most to us. We are finding that the things we take for granted and that are second nature to us are the very things we should be evaluating and questioning the most.

049: Miscarriage, First year of marriage, and Moving Away From Family – Adam and Kyla VanWingerden
Sex is an emotionally charged subject and one Christians seem to tiptoe around. Our goal is to address, in a tactful manner, some of the questions we get on a regular basis about sex after marriage, and hopefully encourage you to grow, heal, and mature the physical intimacy in your marriage.
Today we’re talking about getting to the end of your rope, feeling hopeless, and God’s Faithfulness. You can order Elisha’s CD here: https://nowthatimafather.com/ Thank you for all your support!

Elisha is sharing what he learned at a Man Camp he went to this weekend! This message is so encouraging to any Christian!
So . . . we’re sharing a life-long dream with you today. Our goal is that these will encourage and help you as much as they have helped us. Thank you for inspiring us to write these, encouraging us through the process, and supporting this dream! You guys are such a blessing! Click HERE for …
Join us for a chatty episode, where we talk through some of the low points of last week, mention what we’re feeling now, and answer some personal questions.
Here are some things we are actively doing to stop our downward spiral before it gets out of control. Hopefully it encourages you and gives you an idea or two!
Sometimes we get in a rut of “being married” but not growing in our marriage. And sometimes I like it that way. When marriage is smooth sailing, we often want to avoid digging below the surface because a difficult topic will inevitably get stirred up. But Elisha and I have also found that consistently digging …
At first I thought I didn’t hear him correctly. BE your dream home? Didn’t Elisha mean, “create your dream home? Make your dream home? Have your dream home?” Turns out, he meant all those things, and I love this vision he painted for me of BEING our dream home. I hope it encourages you in …
We have never felt a lack of community. However, that doesn’t mean Elisha and I have always been apart of rich, healthy, community. Today we’re talking about practical ways we created community growing up, how we found community outside of our family circles as newly weds, and how we’re currently cultivating community in our new …
Today we’re diving into two main reasons why husbands can be emotionally distant, how to encourage them to open up emotionally, and some practical ways a man can be emotionally present for his wife! With a lot of personal stories, and some good laughs, this is one of our favorite podcasts so far!

030: How To Encourage Your Husband In Spiritual Leadership // Why Men Feel Inadequate to Lead
Does God want wives to be doormats? Today we’re talking about Ephesians 5:23 and what God-honoring submission does and does NOT look like in a marriage. In the twenty-first century, submission can be a sticky topic, but we believe the danger of this passage is because it has been twisted by culture, the devil, or …
Today we’re answering all your questions! (Well, maybe not all of them, but some of the ones you asked over on Instagram!) Some questions we’re answering!
This is a pretty personal episode about a pretty big topic. Today we are sharing about the first time we prayed to accept Christ’s gift of Salvation, and when we later started taking full responsibility for our relationships with our Savior! Our hope is that this episode encourages you in your Faith and gives you …
We are praising God for Louis Martin entering our lives this week! He was born at 37 weeks, and weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces at 1:45am June, 22nd! Now, as the parents of three children, the subject of Generational faith has been more on our minds than ever. Today we’re diving into how we feel …
Today we are sharing two of our favorite tools to learn from past mistakes (or awesome experiences) and use that knowledge to make our future better! The two tools we’re sharing in this podcast are ones we use often, to learn, grow, and unite our marriage. The History Reflector . . . the key to …
Some of us are dreamers. We have all the ideas–castles in the sky that blow everyone’s imaginations out of the water. But when we come down from our 30,000 foot view we aren’t sure what step to take on solid ground. Some of us are doers. We take control of each day. But one day …
You know those people that are further ahead in marriage, family, and life? But they aren’t just further ahead in years. They are wiser, smarter, more seasoned, and you just want to soak up their wisdom like a sponge! Aaron and Jen Smith are like that to us, and we are so blessed to have …
You probably know Elisha has been on the job search for about a month now. Naturally, this created a rollercoaster of emotions, conversations, and new thought-processes surrounding potentially moving away from the apartment we’ve called “home” our whole married lives (which hasn’t been super long . . . but is still dramatic, okay?
Elisha is the fourth born of 10 kids. I’m the eldest of 11. We get asked a lot, “how did your parent’s cultivate your relationships with your siblings?” and now that we’re parents, we are asking the same questions! We decided to go back and take a look at some of the biggest decisions our …

In this episode of the Now That We’re A Family Podcast, Elisha and I are talking all about being single. We get so many questions from friends and awesome single followers on what being single should look like . . . and we don’t have the answers, haha. BUT, God does, so in this episode …
For this entire episode, we refer to a tool @thegiant5guy taught us a couple years ago. It’s been an invaluable resource for stepping back when we don’t like what’s happening in our lives, but we also don’t know what to change. “Stop. Go. Grow!” enables you to get out of the foggy day to day …
WOW! What a privilege to interview Isaac and Angie Tolpin from courageousparenting.com. Katie and I were encouraged by not only their heart for families, but also their insightful tips on how to apply parenting strategies on a daily basis. Disciplining for behavior modification while still cultivating and nurturing a soft heart of submission in our …

Elisha and I go wayyyyy back. So people assume we established a friendship. Started dating. And got married. But really, we got that backwards. We got married and then became best friends. It’s hard to believe we knew each other for over a decade before we even had our first conversation (if that’s what you …
Do you want a roadmap to meeting your spouses’ needs? We sure do! This last weekend, we went to a marriage workshop where my dad, @thegiant5guy, shared on the popular book “His Needs, Her Needs.” But what really stuck with us, was his practical application. We don’t just want a good message, we want to …
Elisha: Sex is still a priority. People say if you want to see what someone prioritizes, look at their calendar and bank statement. In other words, we give our time and money to what we value most. I am grateful Katie and I had wise and faithful council in our life prior to having our …
We are in the process of shopping for a family vehicle and as a result we’ve been having conversations around the topics of “drag” and “impact.” We dig deeper into what we mean by that in this episode.
Did God create marriage to make us holier or happier? He definitely calls it a blessing in the Bible but what if it doesn’t feel like a blessing? Should we just grin and bear it if we are in a bummer marriage and accept it as God’s way of refining us, or, is it possible …
