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.

137: Why The Christian Family Is Broken // Interview With Jeremy Pryor of Family Teams
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. I love it when I have a complete paradigm shift in how I think about areas of my life that are important to me. Family is near and dear to my heart and Jeremy Pryor opened my eyes to concepts and ideas that I had never considered regarding family.
1. Jeremy has a treasure trove of resources that I hope you check out at https://familyteams.com/
2. Also, if have even the faintest desire to change the world then you really need to check out his organization 1000 Houses. You can find that here: https://www.1kh.org/

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.
