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.

This is long. Just wanted to say that I have been listening for several years and have lately come to appreciate it more. I used to feel like Katie & Elisha came off (at times) like everything was perfect. Although their advice was encouraging, it could feel like there was little relatability. However, in the last year or so, I do see that they sometimes mention past problems or share things that did not go as planned. I have realized that they are idealists and also typically wait until they are through a hard situation before they talk about it. I respect that. I do understand there are boundaries and no one wants to hear a lot of complaining on a podcast, either:) so thank you for your advice, but also thank you for being real about difficulties at times.

I am a wife and mother with 2 boys (2 years old and 5 months old) and I recently found yalls podcast and I wanted to say thank you- listening to your biblical view on so many aspects of life has changed my perspective for the better. Hearing you both share about parenting all your children, training them up and loving each other in the midst of parenting has led me to believe I can have the big family my husband and I have wanted! I have been edified by your sound judgment, simplicity in the chaos and saturation in the Gospel. I am grateful for your honesty and openness, from which I am benefiting.
Thank you both :)

I’ve listened to you guys’ podcast throughout my parenting journey. I’m 2-3 kids behind you guys so it’s been very helpful. I’d like to hear you guys talk about what aspects of parenting/caring for a child you don’t worry about. I know that as parents we wanna make everything as optimal and good for them as possible but perfection is not doable. So, what are some things you guys have let go of? If this is too vulnerable to share with the vultures of the internet, you could talk about what things your parents didn’t worry about (instead of sharing what you personally do), how it affected you and whether you do the same. Thank you!

I’ve listened to Katie and Elisha for a few years now and I’m continuously amazed by how much they uplift and honor each other. The amazing way Elisha talks about Katie as a woman, mom and wife is so encouraging and likewise with Katie to Elisha. Definitely a good podcast for Christian young couples in a world of spouses that constantly put each other down!

I’ve listened to Elisha and Katie for over three years. I was initially drawn in by Jenise’s wisdom, but I stayed because they consistently championed values that are increasingly rare: protecting family connection, refusing to let youth sports dictate family life, honoring the Sabbath, and shaping ambition around God’s design for marriage and family.
Those convictions were what made their message so compelling.
Lately, though, I’ve found myself wrestling with what feels like a tension between those values and what they now share publicly. Hearing about family dinners being interrupted by sports, the Sabbath becoming more flexible around activities, and the possibility of stepping away from homeschooling because of the demands of a growing business has been surprising to me. As someone who has listened for years, it’s been difficult to understand how these changes fit with convictions that once seemed so central to their message.
I fully recognize that every family has seasons, changing circumstances, and decisions that outsiders can’t fully understand. I’m not writing to judge those decisions or expect perfection. I simply wanted to share that, as a long-time listener, I’ve felt some sadness watching what once seemed like defining convictions become less clear. I’m deeply grateful for all I’ve learned from them over the years, and I sincerely hope the values that first encouraged so many families continue to remain at the heart of what they teach and model.
