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.

May I just take a moment and say, the wisdom of you two is beyond your years! Keep seeking the Lord and sharing it..I'm a mom of 3 with kids a bit younger in age then yours and I'm loving the depth and wisdom of your podcast
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?!
This was such a helpful and inspiring podcast! !Thanks so much!!
Not akward at all..loved it!! We have to remember these things it keeps our marriage sweet, and exciting!! Thanks all the way from South Africa!
Your songs are SO good!!! i cant wait to share this with my children. i have one daughter right now and hopefully more in the future. i am a Christian and memeber of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Your values align exactly with mine! you should check out comeuntochrist.org . You would love the info/videos/etc there to share with your family💙💙 love your youtube and podcast . keep sharing light.
Amen! This was so rich and encouraging. Thank you New Creation Elisha and New Creation Katie!
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!
Found you through Katie's YouTube channel. interesting thoughts. Thanks!
Love this! My siblings were my best friends growing up, and they still are! ♡
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!
Love this so much you guys! we've been married almost six years but have just recently moved close to my in-laws and navigating those relationships has been harder than I imagined. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and practical things you have done🙌
