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.

Jessa wrote - "I love interior design and am always excited to team up with Jana and do projects for family and friends. Whether it’s for a home or business, we love refurbishing old pieces, shopping for bargains, and seeing an idea become a reality. I love reading—though in this busy season with young kids, I find myself working in hours of audio books on the go, rather than sitting down with a book in hand. I’m grateful to be able to spend so much of much my time with my kids. Even though some days can be a bit crazy, it is also so much fun, and I count it one of my greatest blessings to get to be their mom.   Ben loves reading good books, especially on theology and, because of this, our family library is ever-expanding. Since finishing his degree at Moody Bible Institute online, he has been actively involved in church ministry. Ben is also an adventurous foodie. He loves to take me out on dates to new restaurants, and try out the most unique menu items. He’s a sweet, patient and engaged father and husband. He loves wrestling with the boys, and cuddling his baby girl while he tells the kids a story."

Highly recommended Biblical conversations

This podcast is for parents, married couples and singles! I find the advice very helpful especially to prepare me in the future for a marriage and (hopefully) lots of kids. The pair are honest and share their thoughts in a non-judgemental way that aligns with Scripture. Thank you for your wonderful work!

I honestly don’t listen to podcasts often because I have 3 little people always asking lots of questions all day long (which is a BIG blessing!). However, when I do get a minute to put one on I’m always looking for the latest episode from Now That We’re a Family. It is so refreshing to be both encouraged and convicted by the topics discussed. Elisha and Katie are honest, humble, and so great at encouraging others to seek the Lord.
