Description


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.

Others call him the most famous farmer in the world, the high priest of the pasture, and the most eclectic thinker from Virginia since Thomas Jefferson. He lives on Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley.  With a room full of debate trophies from high school and college days, 15 published books, and a thriving multi-generational family farm, he draws on a lifetime of food, farming and fantasy to entertain and inspire audiences around the world. He’s as comfortable moving cows in a pasture as addressing CEOs in a Wall Street business conference.

great job guys! I agree on soooo many aspects of this!! I grew up celebrating and going trick or treating. but we do not celebrate with our kids because all the reasons you mentioned. so we are part of the "5" of us. lol I don't get the churches that do trunk or treat?!

Thanks for sharing. I found you through Katie's channel through Megan fox's channel. been a faithful subscriber since. thank you for being an example of what it looks like to be a Christian family in today's culture. for demonstrating "love for marriage and family" when there are Soo many negative voices even in the Christian media. God bless!

So much wisdom! My husband and I have been married for 33 years, so we have some experience, but it's still encouraging to hear your grounded, wise, Christ-centered stance on marriage and family. Thank you!
