Now That We're A Family

KidsFamilyChristianityReligionSpiritualityChristian parentingLarge-family lifeHomeschoolingMarriage talkStandalone episodesTwice weekly

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.

Why listen

Now That We're A Family is for listeners who want Christian family-life advice from hosts who are actually living the large-family, homeschooling, marriage, and home-management questions they discuss. Elisha and Katie Voetberg mix candid husband-and-wife conversation with occasional guests, tackling practical topics like screen time, hospitality, pregnancy, resentment, education, and family culture from a firmly traditional Christian perspective. Parents who want conviction, lived experience, and countercultural encouragement will get the most from it.
