Chris Cirullo is based in Eugene, Oregon, where he was raised. After playing college football at The University of Oregon, he joined the Army and completed 4 tours to Afghanistan as an Army Ranger with the 75th Ranger Regiment. He then spent years in the fitness industry as a coach before working with 3 ve nture-backed software startups, serving churches. Nearly 10 years and 3,000 churches later, Chris left that world and followed the Lord's leading to take his then side project of coaching Christian fathers, full time. He now heads up Mission-Fit Dads, a discipleship-oriented fitness coaching company, serves on the team at Forming Men - helping with projects like Man Year, and Primal Path - and spends his spare time pouring into his local region with prayer and discipleship efforts. Joyfully married to his wife Justine for 13 years (60+ to go), with 5 sons and a black lab, his days are both full and exciting.

Joel Salatin, 67, calls himself a Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer. Others call him the most famous farmer in the world, the high priest of the pasture, and the most eclectic thinker from Virginia since Thomas Jefferson. He lives on Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley.  

With a room full of debate trophies from high school and college days, 15 published books, and a thriving multi-generational family farm, he draws on a lifetime of food, farming and fantasy to entertain and inspire audiences around the world. He’s as comfortable moving cows in a pasture as addressing CEOs in a Wall Street business conference.

Marriage Maximizer - Build A Masterpiece Marriage  
Whether you have been married for 30 years, or are just starting out on the adventure of a lifetime, this course is for you!  
https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com/Marriage-Maximizer

"Receiving Another's Sin This manner of viewing marriage points to another important principle---not just having my sin exposed, but reflecting on how I treat my wife when her sin is exposed. Do I use this knowledge to crush her, humiliate her, or gain power over her, or do I use it to gently and lovingly lead her into imitating the character of Jesus Christ?" - quote from the book "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas - https://amzn.to/3L7NNpO

Morgan, Hudson, Kian and Asher Wild grew up in the jungles of Indonesia sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ where it hadn't been heard before. When their home church asked what it was like being modern day missionary kids, they discovered that the best way to answer was through filmmaking. This sent them on an incredible journey of documenting their lives and adventures on camera. And yes, their last name really is “Wild.” They now run Wild Brothers Productions. Their vision is geared towards young Christian families and to inspire them in how they play a part in God’s Great Commission. They were so glad to be a part of a missionary family because they have been able to live with a remote tribe, experience their hopelessness in sin, and then watch their lives be transformed through the teaching of the Bible.

Ben & Jessa Seewald have been married for almost 10 years and have 5 children. Jessa wrote - "I love interior design and am always excited to team up with Jana and do projects for family and friends. Whether it’s for a home or business, we love refurbishing old pieces, shopping for bargains, and seeing an idea become a reality. I love reading—though in this busy season with young kids, I find myself working in hours of audio books on the go, rather than sitting down with a book in hand. I’m grateful to be able to spend so much of much my time with my kids. Even though some days can be a bit crazy, it is also so much fun, and I count it one of my greatest blessings to get to be their mom.   

Ben loves reading good books, especially on theology and, because of this, our family library is ever-expanding. Since finishing his degree at Moody Bible Institute online, he has been actively involved in church ministry. Ben is also an adventurous foodie. He loves to take me out on dates to new restaurants, and try out the most unique menu items. He’s a sweet, patient and engaged father and husband. He loves wrestling with the boys, and cuddling his baby girl while he tells the kids a story."

Autumn Kern is a wife, mother, and keeper of an actual commonplace book. When she was twenty-one, she sat under a tree with a man who told her the woman he married would homeschool his children. Handsome as he was, she didn’t anticipate being that woman, but here she is with three little ones in tow, and, as in all God’s providential ways, it has been the greatest gift. The Commonplace is where new homeschooling moms get their bearings in the Classical Charlotte Mason world through the podcast, Common Mom Youtube, and Common House.

Ben & Corley live in Texas with their four children. Ben Spell has an inspiring story that highlights his journey from a pastor to a successful entrepreneur. This dynamic leader has always been passionate about music and worship and served as a music & worship pastor at two churches in Houston. With his background, Ben never imagined he would find himself at the forefront of a business revolution, but he’s taking it all in stride. After his encounter with unethical and questionable business practices in the meat industry, Ben saw an opportunity. He realized there was a need for a company that could provide top-quality American meat with complete transparency and integrity. From that need, Good Ranchers was born.

In 2018, Ben set out to make his vision a reality. He traveled the country, connecting with local farms and ranches, and began selling the meat himself at farmer’s markets and pop-up shops. With a drive to bring American families back to the dinner table, Ben worked tirelessly to grow Good Ranchers into a company that now supplies meat throughout the U.S., supports countless American farms and ranches, and has even contributed significantly to the fight against hunger in America.

Jordan and Milena also host a podcast together called As For Me and My House, where they go into greater detail about life, marriage, and parenting through a biblical worldview.

Today, we are going to chat with you about chores, allowances and what we are currently doing for our children. Some of this is going to be theoretical because we are going to talk a little bit about how money was treated in our homes growing up and what we may or may not do as our children start to get older.   

Of course, we have our own experiences growing up in households that had various rules for chores. It seemed to ebb and flow, depending on the season. The age you were placed a big role on what chores were assigned to us. There were set chores that we all had and didn’t get paid for. In Katie’s family, you were able to do special chores/extra jobs and earn money for them. It was a very slow trickle of money coming in. Because of that, she would store her dollars because it would take forever to save up to buy anything. She got very used to delayed gratification.   

Based off our experiences and what we want to create for our children, one thing we want to avoid for our children is complacency. We don’t want them to be entitled in any manner. We also don’t want our children feeling too independent from us too early. For example, we don’t want them to feel like they have all their own money and they can go buy what they want to buy and then have a battle with them from the time they are 11 years old of them saying “hey, I want to wear this, it’s my money.” We didn’t buy our clothes until we were older. We wore what our parents bought us.   

Growing up in the families that we grew up in, we got to have a lot of unique experiences. We got to do a lot of cool stuff. One way that it was counteracted so we didn’t grow up entitled, was by us all developing a really strong worth ethic and realizing how hard it was to earn money.   

This was a fun walk down memory lane, sharing with you all our money earning journey and what we are currently doing with our children. We gave a lot of context as to where we are coming from and will see how this goes as our children grow up.

As we wrap up the year 2023, we have been thinking a lot about how we are planning our next year. Today, we are going to share some of the new things we plan to do, as well as some of the old things and our general philosophy on setting new years goals, planning the year and reviewing the previous year (which is a huge deal for us). Overall...we are going to take you inside our minds and what we are thinking about this time of year! :)  

It’s encouraging to go back and reflect on the past year because we really love to look at how far we’ve come instead of looking at how far we still need to go. The horizon is always moving and that is just a fact of life. As we grow, that horizon grows. If you’re fixated on the horizon, that is where you find yourself discouraged, overwhelmed and not able to acknowledge the wins and growth in your life. Instead of trying to resist the horizon moving, we just accept that our goals will never feel like we have arrived. You really need to enjoy the journey. One way that you can do that is to look back and say “wow, we’ve come a long way” and measure backwards. One way it’s encouraging to measure backwards is see all the things we have put time and energy into that don’t necessarily show up on a progress report or monetization chart. There are a lot of things that won’t show up on those lists, but they are still such worthwhile investments of our time.   

We love the idea of pictures on a dream board instead of writing out goals specifically, because it captures this feeling or general direction you want to go in. It’s less like you miss the mark or hit the mark. We like just going in a general direction and making sure we keep realigning with that direction throughout the year.   

We are always grateful for the time and energy that goes into planning. Planning takes effort and time. We have spent hours going through our last year in review and then planning our the next year and putting stuff on the calendar. We are grateful for all these things that keep us aligned though. They have been so helpful for us!

We would love to hear what you do to plan out the new year! Please let us know in the comments below. :)

We get to talk about young love, marriage, early relationships and all of that fun stuff. We are going to answer some questions that listeners have asked on this topic. Our kids are obviously not of the age where they are getting into relationships, but it has already become a conversation in our home. Some kids become aware of the opposite sex a lot sooner than others. Today, we are going to talk about how our parents navigated that from our perspectives and some thoughts around young budding friendships and romance.   

How are you navigating children who are becoming adults who maybe establish these attractions earlier? What are some ways to slow down the attraction and timelines until they’re ready to actually do something about it? Communicate with your children that there’s a certain timeline for this type of stuff. What is your endgame with this person?  

4 things to avoid / timeline extenders:
1. Declaration
2. Alone time 
3. Exclusivity  
4. Physical touch  

If you have a goal for your children to date to marry, how do you balance protecting and guarding vs. freedom when they start to have an interest in each other? You aren’t dating for just a friend, companionship, romantic outlet or the world’s recreational dating term. It’s a serious thing when you are dating. It’s not recreational to play with your whole life. It’s very foolish to throw it around like a sport you play.

This is our last review of the books we’ve read this year. We really enjoy sharing quarter by quarter the books we’ve read that quarter. Something that we’ve really found ourselves loving is reading. We were both really big readers before the advent of the online world. We fell off the bandwagon for a few years when the internet came out. Everything we were creating and consuming was online, aside from self-development books here and there. The last two years, since we got rid of our smartphones, we have dove back into the world of written literature. It has been incredible blessing to our family!  

If you’re looking for recommendations, we hope that you find a book to read while listening to this episode! We love book recommendations, so if you have some, leave them in the comments below :)

A few episodes ago, we mentioned in passing that we disapprove of VeggieTales for our children. That comment sparked some inquires from you listeners and you wanted clarity as to why we don’t approve of it. We both discussed it and asked ourselves if this was beyond our opinion and preference or if we do actually have a conviction against VeggieTales. Come to find out, we both have some convictions regarding it. We are going to share what those are in this episode and answer some of the questions that you have about it.  

First of all, VeggieTales is disrespecting and degrading to Scripture. There is no reverence to history and how God chose to tell history. It also doesn’t paint a high view of God for our children. It reduces the Christian heroes of the faith and God’s presence in Scripture as this comedic, foolish nonsense that is worth laughing at and getting a cheap joke from. It is not with awe, holiness and reverence like it should be.  

My issue is the danger with the specific VeggieTale videos that are based from the Bible. It is skewing Scripture and making it a laughing stock and treating it in a very trivial manner. It’s confusing when the message is way off and it’s supposed to be Scriptural based. It’s very foolish and disrespectful to God and Scripture and what He’s done through His people. As well as the really dark things that these people have walked through in faith.   

Our children are capable of so much more than the little crumbs that we feed them. Their brains are very capable of absorbing big concepts and themes. We don’t need to shy away from the truth, elegance and beauty of Scripture.  

 "What comes into our mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us." A.W. Tozer

"Mom-guilt" is a subject I really like to speak about, because we can get condemnation, guilt, shame and conviction all lumped into one pile. When we sort through them, we are able to determine what is conviction, condemnation and how the two types of guilt can flow into either funnel. We can then determine how we can take action on that. We think there is a healthy guilt and an unhealthy guilt. Usually this term is related to moms, but really can be parent guilt, marriage guilt and all kinds of guilt. If you’ve felt guilty or have never felt guilty (and you probably should), then this episode is for you! :)  

We got this episode idea from a question we recently got from an Instagram follower during a Q&A poll - "How to overcome the guilt of leaving children with caregivers (like grandparents) for events?"  

This questions is specifically about how you do it. The first thing you should do is go to Scripture. That is the way you should do everything! You should go to Scripture and say “What is God’s hierarchy and what does He say should be my priority here? Should this thing be my priority in this season or should it not?” It really is seasonal depending on what age your children are in. The only exception to this rule, that I would encourage, is you can’t put your marriage on pause for any season of life. Regardless of how hectic, hard or a big deal financially it is, you can’t just say we will come back to this in five years. You can’t get those five years back.

If you’re getting confused when it comes to raising your children and things are getting cloudy, I think the healthiest thing I did was be off of social media, so I am not seeing other women’s opinions on how they’re raising their children. As long as you have a loving, God-fearing husband, the only voices that you need and pertain to your situation are the Lord’s (getting in Scripture) and your husband’s voice.

Today we are going to be responding to a question that we got during our Q&A poll - How do you deal with all that’s going on in the world? There are certainly things that we have learned while contemplating this question.

We are not totally ignorant or naive to what is going on in the world. We do think it is incumbent among Christians when they are aware of wars and catastrophes to be earnest in prayer. Beyond prayer, if there are things we can do with our dollars or time to support people in need, then we think that is what Christians should do. We were never intended to be as informed as we are of all the bad that’s happening in the world. There comes a threshold where we need to look at what the Lord has for us here in our homes and tend to the needs of our wife, children and then local community. After that, we can see what kind of bandwidth we have to start working outside of those three.

We don’t know what the future holds. We can sit around being dreary about it our entire lives and what we’re scared of never ends up happening. What a waste of anxiety! We are told to be anxious for nothing (Philippians 4:6). The big reason for that is because the Lord is currently reigning on His throne and in control. Theology really comes into play when it comes to how we view the world. When you have this perspective that nothing can stop God’s gospel from going out and more people are getting saved, we can celebrate regardless of what happens to our particular country or lives. God’s mission is being accomplished. Nothing is happening outside of Him allowing it to happen. When you have this complete belief that things are going according to God’s plan, there is incredible peace you can have in knowing that.

As Christians we are to: “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:6-7

Today we are going to be talking about certain dilemmas we can find ourselves in as parents when our in-laws or parents do not share the same values and convictions for our home as we do. As a result, they don’t end up respecting various boundaries we have for our children or family. We will share how you can navigate that, because it can be quite challenging and rather annoying as well. Since it is the holiday season, many of you will be interacting with family members that you wouldn’t otherwise be interacting with throughout the rest of the year, so this may be relevant to some upcoming interactions.

Today we get to answer your questions about homeschooling. We are also going to update you on what we are doing for our children’s homeschooling when it comes to math, reading, writing, music, history, science and what curriculums we are using. We are both second generation homeschoolers and we get a lot of questions about where our kids are at. We are excited to share what is currently working for us and what hasn’t worked.  

We both love the aspect in our home of educating our children. We feel very aligned together. It’s very much a team effort when it comes to all of our kiddos. We have to rely on one another because we have a lot of little children, but it’s also a passion of ours. We talk about it a lot. It’s so rewarding seeing your children learning and grasping new things.  

One of our favorite things is it feels like we are going back to school. We’ve developed a new love for learning! We know our why and reason now since we know the real purpose of learning. Showing our children why these things are important to learn is something we want to communicate clearly to our children. We don’t want it to be a mindless effort that we are making them do, because every other kid in America is doing it. Every accomplishment they make is so fun. It’s a big family win!

Today we will be answering a few questions that we have received from you listeners. As we’ve said before, we enjoy doing this as a way to hear about what you’re considering in your life and various topics you’re pondering with your spouse or in your home. On some of these topics, we have strong opinions and some we have never considered before, so we are exploring them for the first time, which is always fun. We appreciate you all taking the time to put these questions in the question box on Instagram on Mondays and giving us some material to speak to!  

Listen along today as we answer these 8 questions:  

1. Do you ever miss working in real estate, Elisha? If so, what part? 
2. What degree did Katie get in college and why? It is beneficial for what she does now? 
3. Are you going to be showing your children publicly or on paid platforms at some point?  
4. Are you guys involved in ministries at your church? 
5. How would you order these items in terms of priority - home, children, self & public? 
6. Do you guys watch sports on TV? Do your boys likes watching sports? 
7. What kind of car do you have that can fit 5 kids in carseats? 
8. What is a good compromise if I don’t like my husband playing video games?

Should Christians boycott Disney?? There has been so much talk on the internet recently with Disney’s "Snow White" coming out. Anytime Disney puts out another movie, more people are talking about boycotting them.   

We recently had an episode on our favorite movies growing up that we want to show our kids. Some of those are Disney movies. Today we are going to be talking about if we are boycotting Disney, going to take our kids to Disneyland, doing regarding showing our kids Disney movies and if we have Disney +. All things Disney in today’s episode!  

When it comes to our parenting, some of the things we want to expose our children to are those stories that have stood the test of time and are cultural references. It’s fun to think about actually introducing our kids to these stories via the original source and source material. It’s always really exciting when you realize that oh, we don’t have to compromise on this. We’ve seen Disney for really long time as this tainted entertainment source.   

Even prior to the very overt agenda to push very woke ideology, we had reservations on a lot of Disney products. There are only a few Disney movies that still fit our criteria even with the older renditions of Disney movies that we would show to our kids. You only have so much energy, money and time. With the awesome stories, like the fairytales and incredible entertainment, we’re going to read those in book form. They’re going to get a step above what Disney is offering.   

Let us know what you’re boycotting down below. Let us know where we can find alternatives to those main big companies. Please post your companies down below. A lot of Christians and conservatives are looking for alternatives that are great quality!

It’s that time of year! Holidays are upon us. Many of us will be gathering with our friends and family. Today we will be talking about the holidays, how we feel about Friendsgiving and if we think that it is helpful to the Christian community and families or not.

Any time you are not able to connect with family for the holidays, having friends to gather with is an abundant blessing. There was an article written by The Atlantic in 2018 that talks about the rise of popularity in Friendsgivings and how millennials are more and more opting for Friendsgiving over traditional family Thanksgiving gatherings and the reasons behind it. The Atlantic is a very liberal, anti-family and anti-God. They went into how we do so much better when we are able to choose who our family members are. Friendsgiving traditions derived from a lot of people that were living homosexual lifestyles. They felt ostracized by their biological family so they banded together with one another to celebrate these holidays.

We want to make sure to say that obviously, Friendsgivings are not wrong. If you’re not careful though, you can really start to see how these expressions and options are really tearing down the biological family God has put in place. So much of family holidays and traditions can really be enriching to the family unit. It’s one of those things that we want to reclaim, so to speak. If not reclaim, then solidify for our personal family going forward. We believe that when we elevate friendships to a family level, we are actually degrading and diminishing the importance the blood family that God has given us.

This is something that we care about, because we clearly care about the family unit. We don’t want to be insensitive either to different backgrounds that have dealt with stuff we haven’t had to deal with when it comes to holidays. We are talking about the surface level opinion that family doesn’t matter and that it’s all the same, whether it’s your neighbor or biological father.

What is Katie’s new intermittent fasting regiment now that she is postpartum?
Is Katie able to keep up with her milk supply and workouts?
What is her energy level like with her current fasting schedule?

These are questions that I have been getting quite frequently. Today I will be answering them to satisfy your curiosity, as well as a few others… :)

I feel like this is a little taboo, because whenever you’re talking about restricting anything in pregnancy or postpartum, you can’t recommend that. This is one of the podcasts that we will say, “we can’t recommend it, but…this is what we do anyway.” A lot of evidence that I will be presenting is going to be anecdotal. I’m just going to show you what my experience has been. I feel like it was very helpful for me when I was searching YouTube trying to find podcasts to learn “how can I lose weight postpartum and still keep my milk supply strong?” that I was basically just listening to other women’s stories. I didn’t want a doctor telling me what I could and couldn’t do. I wanted to hear from different women what has worked for them. While this is anecdotal, it is what I have copied from a lot of other women online who also cannot recommend what they are doing, but have had the same results.

Something else I want to say upfront is that when it comes to weight loss or “getting your body back” or whatever postpartum, my motive behind this is to make having children sustainable. I love our children and love raising them. Pregnancy is hard on your body though. I want to do whatever I can to stay healthy and in shape for if God allows us to have more children down the road.

This episode isn’t just about weight loss. It is also about energy and hormone management. All of those things are affected by our overall health. This is why it was important for me to do an episode on this.

The Washington Post did an article on homeschooling last week. Even with as pro-homeschooling we are, they got some things right as far as some concerns to look out for when it comes to homeschooling your children. Today, we are going to discuss those concerns.

We are going to start off by saying that we don’t think public school should be an option for Christian parents. Our children should not be sitting in a godless environment all day long. If we send them to a godless society, we can't be surprised if they come back godless. We are really seeing that with our young people in the church. Regardless of whether that is homeschooling or sending them to a private Christian education, they need to be educated from a Christian worldview. That is the most important thing.  

It’s fun to see how homeschooling has gotten picked up by the mainstream media because it’s such a thing now. The stats in this Washington Post article were saying that homeschooling has gone up by 51% over the past six school years. This is something that all of a sudden people are caring about a lot more.   

Each home needs to take very seriously the education of our children because these are going to be the adults that are leading our society in a very short amount of time. We don’t know when the Lord is going to come back. We don’t know what God has in store for the next generations. We have to parent with a multi-generational mindset. We can do so much as believers if we have bigger goals for our children, regarding how they can be used by God in our society.
