Happy day to you everyone and also welcome back to the podcast.

Katie and I are really excited about this conversation that we're gonna have regarding

the trials that can come in the Christian life, the ups, the downs, the things that were kind of promised through scripture,

how we can be overcomers through those things,

and how we can oftentimes, I think, make them a bigger deal than what they need to be.

And so it's the conversation that I think we're both going to learn a lot from and it's an ongoing conversation.

I don't think we've come to any hard and fast conclusions, but I know it's been a really interesting thought exercise for both Katie and myself throughout the last week. And so I hope it spawns some some challenging thoughts for you and for your household

and maybe you can come to some conclusions on your own

Hey I'm Elisha Votberg, and I'm his wife Katie. Katie and I both grew up in families that were fun, impactful, and relationship rich.

Now that we're a family of our own with three young

children under the age of three or eager to see what God can do through the

family unit. We're so excited that you're joining us on this podcast as we

dive into what the Bible says about marriage,

children, parenting, money, sex, careers, roles, and so much more.

Katie, are you ready?

Let's go. We just are coming off a big weekend and I felt like this just happened on the

podcast. You're right because it was only about a month ago. Yeah, you're right.

They my sister Kelsey came up and recorded so many piano lessons. Yeah.

For Voteburg Music Academy and then this weekend she was like all I mean

election I think we're thinking of like recording piano two in January sometime

and she was like okay I'm I'm booking my fly like two weeks after

we finished filming piano one and we're like really okay so it was awesome having you up here and it's cool.
