Howdy folks welcome back to the podcast. Today we get to answer some more of your questions and oftentimes these episodes turn into our favorite episodes because we get to hear what you're thinking some of the concepts you're throwing around your household and the conversations you're having with your spouse and then we get to have those conversations here in real time so we're looking forward to this and once again Katie hasn't really previewed all the questions she's going to ask me nor have I previewed the questions I'm going to ask her or you know I'm saying like the other person does

doesn't know the questions that they're going to be asked oh yeah and I didn't know I was specifically even asking you questions I was just going to ask some of the questions oh got it that makes sense we can so you're just asking anybody and then you'll answer this is really on script yeah yeah I can phrase them so I'm asking them do that totally works. Okay I don't there's I don't think there's a wrong way to phrase them so just do it how you're planning on it folks we do want to thank you so much for supporting this podcast through ratings and reviews

podcast and it's how it's reached more people and that encourages Katie and myself and hopefully it's encouraging more families around the world because Katie and I are becoming more and more convinced

that God's design for the family is pretty awesome and very special and yet it seems to be not seems to be we know for a fact that it is under attack so

if we can in some small way encourage families we want to do that we love being encouraged we want to continue growing our

family so we're grateful that you're a part of this journey with us anyways let's get going

okay so I'm going to kick it off here we're just going to dive right in and we're going to talk about circumcision

first okay so what's funny is we've gotten so many questions about circumcision and so I'm not even going

to read like one specific one off because there were a lot of them I think it's funny when we announced we are

having our fourth boy though it kind of makes sense that you guys are all asking what we're doing because I

was like where are all these all these questions coming from all of a sudden yes and we aren't going to

like specifically name names like and share super personal medical history with our kids you know like

so-and-so is this so-so doesn't we have kind of a array of situations going on and assortment yeah

but I guess I mean if this is helpful do you guys then we'll talk about it so we'll just tell you

where we're at right oh I should do you want to say like what your thoughts are on circumcision

sure and for those that maybe have a strong conviction about this this might be an anti-climatic

answer because I don't know where we're at conviction-wise I mean maybe you can share but I

currently don't have a strong conviction one way or the other uh yeah circumcision it was is kind

of like a secular like we made it secular what I mean is we didn't have a lot of like spiritual

reasons to circumcise or not circumcise based on like what we read in the Bible it was just kind

of a practical decision for us yeah so I'll share my medical history so I was circumcised as a baby
