Building an Intentional Family - Interview with Elisha & Katie Voetberg

Show notes

About This Episode What would change if you planned your family life as carefully as a business? Aaron talks with Elisha and Katie Voetberg, who live off-grid in a wall tent in North Idaho with five children and a sixth on the way. They share how their own large families shaped their vision, why God began creation with a family, and what it means to be fruitful and not just multiply. They describe how getting off smartphones, social media, and screens made them more present and patient parents. Their practical encouragement: name the qualities you want true of your home, turn them into goals, model real conflict resolution, and build a vision that reaches past your own lifetime.
