In this episode of the Now That We’re A Family Podcast, Elisha and I are talking all about being single. We get so many questions from friends and awesome single followers on what being single should look like . . . and we don’t have the answers, haha. BUT, God does, so in this episode …

For this entire episode, we refer to a tool @thegiant5guy taught us a couple years ago. It’s been an invaluable resource for stepping back when we don’t like what’s happening in our lives, but we also don’t know what to change. “Stop. Go. Grow!” enables you to get out of the foggy day to day …

WOW! What a privilege to interview Isaac and Angie Tolpin from courageousparenting.com. Katie and I were encouraged by not only their heart for families, but also their insightful tips on how to apply parenting strategies on a daily basis. Disciplining for behavior modification while still cultivating and nurturing a soft heart of submission in our …

Elisha and I go wayyyyy back. So people assume we established a friendship. Started dating. And got married. But really, we got that backwards. We got married and then became best friends. It’s hard to believe we knew each other for over a decade before we even had our first conversation (if that’s what you …

Do you want a roadmap to meeting your spouses’ needs? We sure do! This last weekend, we went to a marriage workshop where my dad, @thegiant5guy, shared on the popular book “His Needs, Her Needs.” But what really stuck with us, was his practical application. We don’t just want a good message, we want to …

Elisha: Sex is still a priority. People say if you want to see what someone prioritizes, look at their calendar and bank statement. In other words, we give our time and money to what we value most. I am grateful Katie and I had wise and faithful council in our life prior to having our …

We are in the process of shopping for a family vehicle and as a result we’ve been having conversations around the topics of “drag” and “impact.” We dig deeper into what we mean by that in this episode.

Did God create marriage to make us holier or happier? He definitely calls it a blessing in the Bible but what if it doesn’t feel like a blessing? Should we just grin and bear it if we are in a bummer marriage and accept it as God’s way of refining us, or, is it possible …

Since becoming pregnant with our third child, the topic of how expensive children are has come up so much! So, we thought we would share our thoughts. We hope you enjoy!

The truth is, we get bummed out sometimes. Since this is a thing for pretty much all human beings, we decided to share the practical tools we use to get out of these emotionally hard seasons and overcome funks.

Everybody has such different experiences with their in-laws. That said, we thought we would share what we have learned, how we have grown, and what we are working on in regards to OUR in-law relationships. All relationships are dynamic and ever changing and in-law relationships are no different. They are unique, however, in the sense …

The truth is, we loved growing up in big families. However, from our experiences there are some pros and there are some cons. In this episode we dive into what those were for us.

Are married people supposed to become one or are they already one? How does individuality play into all of this? Can we grow towards a unified vision?

The original plan was to not get pregnant in our first year of marriage. That said, it was only three days into our honeymoon that we had a dramatic change of heart. In this episode we share how getting pregnant on our honeymoon and having two kiddos before two years of marriage has impacted our …

BOOM! We did it. We started a podcast. So what are we going to talk about? Well, in this episode we talk about why we are so excited about having our own family and why family has been a huge part of both of our visions since we were kids. If you are here than …
