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.

151: Boundaries, Pitfalls, and Opportunities Raising Children

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.

150: Eric Ludy // Saying No To Christian Work

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. -Ellerslie: https://ellerslie.com/ -Eric's Podcast, The Daily Thunder: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-thunder-podcast/id1463243966 -Eric's Personal Website: https://ericludy.com/ -Ellerslie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellersliediscipleshiptraining/ Don't forget to join the Now That We're A Family newsletter, Top 5 Tuesday! https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com/site/about - Now That We're A Family Website: https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com - Now That We're A Family Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nowthatwereafamily/
