Now That We're A Family
Elisha and Katie Voetberg
Culture has reduced the modern family to a joke -- informing parents they are only capable of shuttling their children from expert to expert who experiment with untested agendas. Katie and Elisha lean on their experience growing up in large families of 10 and 11 kids, to encourage parents to take back control, stop listening to popular relationship advice, and embrace their God-given role as their children's primary authority.

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.

Hindsight is 20/20... or so they say. Looking back at our younger selves and all that we experienced, most of us would agree that there are some obvious changes we'd make nowadays.

130: How To Communicate When You Don’t Feel Financial Secure As A Wife
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.

128: Quarterly Vision Casting // How We Get On The Same Page As A Couple
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.
