| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the now that we're a family podcast today. My beautiful wife, |
| 0:06.8 | Katie and myself are going to be talking about our identity. Oftentimes we can find ourselves |
| 0:13.6 | in a crisis when it comes to who we are and who we view ourselves as being when we become |
| 0:19.4 | parents. I know I can speak for myself regarding that. And Katie, I'll let her speak for herself |
| 0:24.7 | on that issue. So today we're going to be talking about what the Bible says, kind of some |
| 0:28.7 | things we've struggled with in recent history and in some more far off history, some more |
| 0:34.8 | previous, far previous, much more previous history. I don't even know how you say that. That |
| 0:40.7 | said, we're just going to be talking about that. And I hope it's an encouragement to you. |
| 0:45.2 | And I also hope that if you do find encouragement in this podcast, then you would go take the time |
| 0:50.2 | to go over to iTunes and leave us a rating or a review. It's a, I know that's like a |

| 1:01.8 | when people take the time to do that. And so if you feel so inclined to do that, we would |
| 1:06.5 | appreciate it. And we'll get today's episode going. Hey, I'm Elisha Voper and I'm his wife, |
| 1:17.0 | Katie. Katie and I both grew up in families that were fun, impactful and relationship rich. |
| 1:22.1 | Now that we're a family of our own with three young children under the age of three, or eager |
| 1:26.9 | to see what God can do through the family unit. We're so excited that you're joining us on this |
| 1:31.5 | podcast as we dive into what the Bible says about marriage, children, parenting, money, sex, |
| 1:36.8 | careers, roles, and so much more. Katie, are you ready? Let's go. |
| 1:51.9 | And we're back. I feel like this little window that we record the pod, the, the window time frame |
| 2:09.4 | that we're recording this podcast in is getting smaller and smaller each week. It is. It feels like |
| 2:14.3 | my parents are coming to visit, which we're excited about. They're driving through the area. |
| 2:18.5 | So we're trying to get it done for them and all the things. It really doesn't matter. This is |
