Do you want to experience more intimacy in your marriage through time in God’s word and praying together, but find yourselves spending more time scrolling and binging tv?
Do you desire to lead your children to know, love, and serve the Lord… but don’t even know where to begin?
Do you want to incorporate more Jesus into everyday family life but don’t seem to have enough time nor bandwidth for it after all of your adulting?
We know the distance between your desires and your current lifestyle seems impossible to overcome… but you’re not alone!
We are Robbie & Sasha Robertson, and we are so excited that you’re here.
As first generation believers that came into relationship with God in our late 20’s & early 30’s, our life was flipped, turned upside down, as we embarked on a journey to discover what it meant, and looked like, to do life with Jesus. It was a struggle to put down the ‘addictions’ (habits) our fellow millennials and culture have become so comfortable with and instead seek to live a more fruitful life to infinity and beyond.
We volunteered as tribute into parenthood, and had a rude awakening as our comforts and strongholds stared us in the face through our children. We quickly realized that we didn’t want to raise our children the way we were raised, we didn’t want to allow our addictions to our phones and tv, nor our habits of drinking alcohol, foul language, and lack mindsets to be fruits that we were fostering in our children.
We had to decide to put God first in our lives. With Him our marriage, home and family has transformed far beyond what we could have imagined.
And that is what we’re here to share with you!
We help build Christ centered faithful families by bringing mindfulness into your marriage, purpose into your parenting, and humility into the shared responsibility of homemaking.
In this space you will find:
- Mindful Marriage tips and practices helping you to cleve together as one flesh, with God at the center of your marriage.
- Purposeful Parenting strategies and tools to raise strong, resilient, independent children that love the Lord.
- Humble Homemaking systems and mindsets that have you out-serving one another in the home as you steward over this resource well.
- All around Faithful Family practices and tips to lead life by example as Gods smallest, yet most powerful battle formation.

12 | MM | Vision Retreat
"When two people are together in any endeavor in life, it is only possible for them to remain unified and productive if they both share the same vision and purpose. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that every couple hoping to succeed take the time and energy to get God's vision for their marriage." -Jimmy Evans
We found this eloquent quote by the co-author of the Vision Retreat Guidebook summed up our experience perfectly. In this episode we explore the outline of this wonderful tool, our personal experience with it, and the growth that we have realized through its pages as we worked through it together with God.

11 | MM | Pre-marital Counseling and NOT Us
Pre-Marital counceling is a relatively standard practice for Christian couples that helps arm them with a better understanding of who they are going to be together. The importance of this counseling is a great indicator for marital success and serves to highlight some areas of improvement that would best serve the couple entering into this most holy union. And its not something we would have passed. Today on the Faithful Family Fortress we share some of our early marriage testimony and reflect on the miracle how we are still together.

10 | FF | The Heart Is Built for Worship. What Are You Worshiping?
The human heart is built with an unquenchable desire to worship, and it will find something to worship. With so many shiny distractions in the world it is too easy to allow ourselves to be derailed from the worship God wants for us, a worship of Him that leads to a deeper heart connection. Today we discuss the pitfalls the enemy uses to pull us away, strategies we can use to snap ourselves out of the pattern, and some tools that work for us to draw us closer to God in Worship.

9 | HH | The Importance of Counting the Cost
Have you ever said yes to something before really thinking it through?
Today we're talking about Luke 14:28... building a tower without first counting the cost.We dive into the complications that occur when too many tasks are taken on. We talk about the affect it has in ourselves and our families, and how it’s not always the Enemy at work, but us working against ourselves. This is a vulnerable look into our recent lives as we have fallen victim to this very fallacy Jesus specifically warns us about.

8 | PP | 4 Steps to Helping Your Emotionally Unregulated Child by First Helping Yourself
Oftentimes we are faced with behaviors in our children that are aggravating, challenging, and even upsetting at times. Some days we respond to these behaviors with love, peace, and patience, while other days we blow up and overreact. This forces us to ask a question about our children's behavior as well as our own. On today's episode of the Faith Family Fortress, we ask the question, "What is going on in me?"
We discuss 4 steps to overcoming those moments when our children become emotionally unregulated.
