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.

438: How Much Evil Should We Expose Our Kids To?
The hosts delve into the role of scary stories in childhood, discussing how they help shape moral understanding. They explore the importance of exposing children to the realities of evil without desensitizing them. By understanding villains, kids can grasp the heroism of Christ and the nuances of sin. They argue for reading original literature to maintain intrigue and context. There's a critique of modern storytelling that abstracts real evils. Ultimately, the goal is to equip children with a moral compass rooted in biblical truths.
