Summary

In today's episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron interviews Elisha and Katie Voetberg, who share their remarkable journey of building an intentional family life - from embracing a large family to living off-grid in a wall tent. With their sixth child on the way, they demonstrate how stepping away from modern conveniences has actually brought their family closer together.

In this inspiring conversation, we explore:

  • How growing up in large families shaped their vision for their own home
  • Why they chose to live off-grid and disconnect from smartphones and social media
  • The importance of modeling authentic conflict resolution for children
  • Creating a multi-generational vision for family legacy
  • Practical ways to build an intentional family culture
  • The beauty of embracing simplicity in family life
  • How to maintain joy and purpose while raising children

Whether you're just starting your family journey or seeking ways to create a more intentional home environment, this conversation offers biblical wisdom and practical insights for building a family culture that honors God.
