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 …

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 …
