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.

Unbiased Review

My wife has been listen to this podcast for awhile. While I have not listened to much, I can attest to the fruits that have come from it.

She has enjoyed the spread of topics relating to parenting and marriage.

I have enjoyed seeing her so engaged with the topics of discussion and how it has lead to us have important conversations that might have otherwise gone I discussed.

I personally have had peace of mind knowing that the perspectives are coming from a biblical foundation and that the hosts seem to have a genuine heart for The Father.

Always seek The Father with fear and trembling. Trust but verify all you hear with scripture. Podcast can never replace time spent in The Word. But if you’re looking for a good podcast, with some good people, covering some good topics, this might just be the one for you.

I look forward to this podcast every week!

Tuesdays and Thursdays are now one of the highlights of my week because I get to listen to a great show from Katie and Elisha! I love how applicable your advice is, the book reviews are so inspiring to me and get me very excited to read more, and I always feel motivated to some form of improvement personally, in my marriage, or with my children after listening to an episode. Thanks for all that you both do!

Wow so wonderful to find TRUTH

This couple is not afraid to speak truth with biblical backing. They have so much wisdom and biblical knowledge! So blessed to come across this podcast, a new favorite of mine! I love hearing about their family and the way they live their life. They have inspired our family to make changes. Our kids are 2,1 & 3 months and about 6 months ago we started to read our Bible to the kids at breakfast every morning! And started making a more simple life for our family! Thank you!!!
