223: Managing Energy With Littles, A Father's Role In Discipline, Q&A with Chad and Jenise Johnson

[@TheRawRainbow]

Clicked “like” on this episode before I even started it. YOU four people have brought me and my husband to Christ (after growing up in and surrounded by broken families and without Jesus anywhere to be found). I was pregnant with my first child and found your channel because I knew there must be a way to create a wholesome family. I feel so blessed to have started walking this path. I know this is the best thing that could have ever happened to my family, my marriage, and my children. Thank you for all that you do!

[@kated4359]

Wow!! What a comment! Praise the Lord!!!

[@kate_700]

This is amazing!! ❤

[@thankyouiloveyou]

THIS!! I found Katie's channel when my 1st son was about 6mo old. I was already 10yrs into "New Age spirituality" but was still drawn to her. Fast forward to last year after having my third baby (Lucy😊) I realized I had been running from Christ. Thank god for the Voetberg & Johnson families.. I wanted what they have and it's Him. Sending you all the love sister.. 🩵

[@kated4359]

@thankyouiloveyou- Your story is precious, too! Thanks for sharing. What an encouragement you are!!

[@TheRawRainbow]

Yes me too!! After at least a decade of being in the new age and just not finding the relief and answers I was looking for, finding gods word brought immediate “aha” moments. Been diving deeper ever since. Not sure if I would have been able to be so open minded and accepting to this without the approachability of Katie and Elisha. Such great role models. And to see the fruit of their parents lives, and how vibrant they are, wow I want to listen to every word and do it myself.

[@Eva_Hope]

I would have more children if I had parents like these. What a blessing. No grandparents to help makes it hard. My mother hasn’t even met my second born. Luckily I am blessed to have a great husband and I do it all with the help of our Father.

[@Lifegiver.to5]

What a good looking older couple. Good Lord

[@steffa648]

Yes they are!!

[@joyceofdriving4954]

I can't imagine having in-laws like this. It seems unreal. I don't know anyone who has in-laws like this. What a blessing from Yahweh.

[@paulanix7561]

We or are children can become the first. We're made for eternity.

[@kate_700]

And seeing Chad emotional over his mama… ugh, heartbreaking! Praise God that death is just a doorway to resurrected life! ❤ Chad and Jenise need their own podcast!!!!

[@ayakaaaaaa]

Would love to see a video on Jenise's first 2 hours of her morning!!

[@laurenallen2057]

In one of the early interviews that Katie does with her mom she gives tidbits into what she does for her morning routine.

[@dailyoccasions9539]

This couple is absolutely fantastic!! Please share more from them! We are hungry for biblical mentors in marriage and family. This seasoned couple will change lives through being conduits for the Lords Word and way of living.

[@MichelleCarrozza]

I never comment, but this video and any that Katie and Elisha put out along with any featuring one or more of their parents are huge blessings to me and my family. I don’t have that older generation in my life to look up to, so these videos are a little piece of that for me. Please keep it up!

[@SeekingGodwithallmyheart]

Would be lovely to see them having their own channel ❤

[@meganekstedt2518]

They do, though not recently active on it, there's a ton of amazing marriage advice and more, on it. @thebigskifamily

[@jillwade4586]

They need one!!!! For sure!!!!

[@KellyMarie1204]

They are the parents many of us never had!

[@paulanix7561]

Yes. And I love how they addressed it and said. Thank you Heavenly Father that I can bring you into my family. The past led us to now, and we're before God in trust and faith and praise. He loves us so!

[@brookenicoley90]

Oh my goodness, what Elijah said about being an Abraham when you feel like you didn't come from a family line of Christians was so good. That was such a game changer for me and repositioned me to lead my family. So grateful for that 🙏 really enjoyed this episode 🩷 prayers!

[@rachelgarland1881]

Shouted for joy when I saw the Johnsons! LOVE listening to them!

[@annababcock3948]

You can't do anything but smile and have joy in your heart after listening to that. How edifying and encouraging in every way. Praise Him! Thank you very much for sharing with us.

[@mrsstrople]

Wow, Katie is SUCH a mixture of both parents.

[@steffa648]

Wow what a testimony!! This couple is soooo inspirational!! Y’all have me fired up to be a better wife after listening to this. What an impact you have had on not only your own children, but their spouses and now your grandchildren! Praise be to God!!

[@dinalu9516]

Bring More videos/podcasts chats with Chad and Jenise please. Clicked like button before listening. Thank you guys

[@kate_700]

Ahhhh they’re so wonderful and full of so much knowledge. I first found this channel through Katie’s previous interviews with her mom. Those interviews truly left such a lasting impression on me. They’re a blessing!! ❤

[@brookidy]

This was SO good! Please have them on again and your parents too, Elisha. So much wisdom. I just soak it up because my husband and I are the “Abrahams” of our lineage and desire this kind of legacy. Not having it modeled can be a challenge but I love the perspective you gave it! What a gift it is too! So many good nuggets in there. Thank you for this.

[@audeque]

This episode was so rich and encouraging! I always love it when you interview your parents. This podcast has inspired my husband and I in so many ways. It's helping us create the vision for our family's legacy! While also showing us practical steps to work towards that. God has allowed us to break many generational curses just by being married and raising our 3 small children together. Your podcast is so priceless in helping us walk in what we have been "called to". God bless you! ❤🙏🏾

[@d_voko]

This is insane!!! Today morning I watched the video „Mother of 11 children shares her wisdom: Self Care, Making Time for Husband, Homeschooling etc.“ and while I was listening to this older mom giving advice I spontaneously imagined of her husband and TRULY this older father was my image! I felt that she wouldn’t have talked so beautifully from any other kind of husband! They are so so so suitable and matching to each other that makes it a real blessing!!! I admire you both!!! ❤

[@downlow0075]

Love these people so much!!! I was in their wedding 30 years ago. Hi from Georgia. (Katie has actually been to my home many years ago) when the tribe was rolling thru town.

[@caterinas6863]

did you really go to their wedding? that is so amazing

[@downlow0075]

@@caterinas6863 i was a bridesmaid . At the JH Ranch in Etna California 30 years ago.

[@caterinas6863]

how lucky! what was the wedding like?

[@brandonlee1835]

Great episode Elisha! Thank you Chad and Janice! What a blessing

[@christinahelmuth1507]

Always love to hear from Chad and Jenise!❤

[@joannmarsh64]

I live in Bend and this is so unbelievable that I thought I saw your mother in law at church a few weeks ago…but I figured I was imagining it…and maybe I was. Love, love your heart for the Lord and your family.

[@Chocolatebaptist]

I am so moved by your perspective on being a first generation Christian. Being one myself I often find myself feeling sad and wishing that God put me in a family where I would have been able to accomplish a lot more and or just not made a lot less mistakes in life . However, with your perspective I now see it as an Abrahamic opportunity to start a new path and make things better for my descendants. Thanks so much.

[@zmslzagaryuk9141]

Loved to hear their stories. Just wanted also suggest for next time , I wish Jennies would have more opportunity to talk . Love hearing her practical ways to life . I felt Like she had way more to say . And for the interviewer to speak less .

[@timvandermey4792]

Interviewer usually talk to much 😂 Danya

[@stevensfam]

there are a few other videos with Katie's Mom being interviewed. :}

[@hannahthehomesteader]

Jenise has lots of videos by herself with Katie and they're great.

[@Lmr6789s]

I've been watching every video I can find with your mum in law. She has so much wisdom and advice!

[@Sonyacita]

So wise, so enriching. Thank you for sharing these two with strangers on KZbin 🙏🏻 We aren’t all blessed with such sage parents to speak into our lives. This is truly helpful.

[@epwal3059]

Why does this have to be rare to find. Such a blessing

[@Dana-mb1hd]

This video is on repeat for me! Love them!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lyudak16]

This video has served a big blessing to me! I really enjoyed listening to it!

[@Katie-zm5yq]

So thankful to hear this Episode, its very hard when you don't have such rolemodels but very encourage to raise my children to know and love the lord and onced be a rolemodel for others. Best wishes from Germany/Bavaria❤

[@VictorianRoseSoapCo]

I love God's Blessings on Families that intend to Honor Him, in all they do. God's Glory always!! I know they're in Awe of The Lord just like we are! Seeing HIS PROVISION ALWAYS

[@AmeliaUnleashed]

This episode hit. I just lost my mother weeks ago to stage 4 cancer and also our sweet grandmother months before that. We are expecting our second baby in January and it’s such a strange season of immense grief and joyful anticipation. Excited for the future but at the same time the future looks different without our dear loved ones.

[@amandakoppana4509]

This was so encouraging! Thank you so much Chad and Jenise for coming on, and thank you Katie and Elisha for what you are doing.

[@hayleysunnex1208]

What a blessing to watch this podcast 🤍 Chad and Janise are so full of tried and true wisdom and their love for God has positively impacted the way they chose to live their life and raise their family. I'm so grateful for their walking example and the joy they inspire in us all to live out a loving faith filled marriage. Thank you so much for sharing 🩷 Katie and Elisha you're both such a wonderful couple doing incredible things in the world!! 😃

[@lm6927]

This was sooo special! Thank you!! God bless all of you

[@unciaciapanca]

I love them. When I m in a family rut I always need to watch janise s video again. God bless them. We need them more on yt!!!please do moreeee

[@dylanbradshaw3506]

Excited for this!😊

[@boomboombelle]

“Our attention is under attack” - so very fundamentally true

[@peroxisome1]

Energy game changer- I want to hear more from Janice on this. She is a powerhouse of knowledge.

[@MilaDanceSport]

Thank you! That was awesome. I've loved all of Janice's wisdom from Katie's past videos, so this was really fun to watch.

[@sleepsoundsandrelaxation8875]

Would love to get more ideas on how to live like this as a single mother working from home 12 hours/ day with 3 year old and newborn. How is this possible to be so connected and present etc

[@MilaDanceSport]

So excited to watch this! Thank you for making it 😊

[@Emebirhan34]

In Eritrea/Ethiopia and many orthodox Christian communities when someone dies for 40 days family and community stays with them and visits them and they can cry as much as they need to and mourn then after the 12 and 40 days there is a prayer for the soul and they are encouraged to move on and have a sense of closure after 1 year friends and family buy them new clothes which signifies that it’s time for them to start their life again. Although they will continue to miss them forever obviously they give them room to mourn and then encourage them to move on in time.

[@CSmith-ph1fg]

God Bless You, both Families are a Huge inspiration! Christians often rationalize, yet You each Joyfully apply God's Word!

[@SavedBySweetGrace]

Y’all are such a blessing to watch and learn from! ❤️ Thank you for your godly wisdom!

[@BriBayly]

What a fantastic episode 👏🏻

[@cindyflinchbaugh7155]

Wow thank you for sharing this with us. I would love to get to get their book and see Chad and Jenece again.

[@patriciabellah9392]

Love this talk. I feel like alot of marriages I've seen have lost the joy of marriage. Being silly with eachother.

[@BrytniJade]

Fantastic! I love to see the multigenerational Christ seeking endeavors! Thank you for encouraging us in the good vision and goals of a Christ centric family 🤍 I also love the relationships with the in-laws… what a blessing

[@simonatabarcea]

Thank you for this episode, I'm only 10 minutes into watching it and I already got emotional a couple of times. I love you guys all, you are such an inspiration. God bless❤

[@Counterculturefamily]

Thanks for sharing your family with us. ❤

[@slee7991]

Video suggestion. -I'd love to know how you guys go about and do holidays (christmas, easter in particular being a big debate regarding peganism) id also love to know how your in-laws and parents proceeded with these American holidays ♡ congrats on your new addition to the family!

Wow, just wow. God is so wonderful, what a gift this whole episode was.

Aw I just love them 🥹💕🤍

[@Pointblankhome]

Katie seems to be a literal 50/50 of her parents look :0 Its cool seeing the maker and where she gets her personality from too. I felt like i was watching her and not her parents lol

[@annajorgensen4768]

This episode was very inspiring, motivating, and convicting! Thank you!

[@laurfred2742]

Wonderful! Worth listening to more than once. Take notes. Love you guys ❤️

[@stephj4940]

Loved this. I found this very interesting, but I felt like Chad talked a lot and constantly interrupted you in the beginning. I also felt like I would have liked to hear more from jenise. ( maybe it's first time jitters)🙂 Maybe alternate on asking each a question? I think it would also be cool to interview each individually to get their opinions on marriage,life etc from a male and female perspective. I think it really took off once you got to about the 35 minute mark and got more focused on questions.. The last bit of the interviews were AMAZING!!! Overall great podcast.

[@faithdennis251]

Thank you so much for this podcast, I really enjoyed it. I have a question, what books would you recommend for being a great communicator whether in marriage and in other relationship

[@laurens8623]

This was encouraging. Thanks. I just don't understand the term Lord willing I hear alot in usa. It's always Gods will especially for babies to be born and live long healthy lives

[@Emebirhan34]

It just means That they always seek God’s wisdom

[@kated4359]

It means they submit to the Lord’s will.

[@BrytniJade]

It is taking into account the sovereignty of the LORD. It comes from the verses: “Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭13, 14‬, 15

[@Lifegiver.to5]

Katie and Elisha don't have smart phones?? I'd love to hear more about that!

Have you all ever heard the song, “I Made It Mine”? We heard it from the Morrison Sisters (it’s on KZbin) and I bet your in-laws would love it. :)

Would love book recommendations and whys from them!

[@timvandermey4792]

Excited for this! Danya

[@laurens8623]

Yes it's a blessing to be first generation believer but it's also a lot of lies and curses to replace with truth and repentance.

[@makayladevereaux]

What if only one person in the marriage wants to put in the effort? Is there anything the other partner can do to encourage without forcing them to change in that way?

[@RepentAndBelieve1437]

Pray pray pray with a heart of love for your spouse's soul. Pay for yourself to have wisdom and to know when to speak amd when to keep quiet. Sometimes we get in GOD'S WAY because of our selfish controlling ways etc. Trust GOD.

[@margeesanmartino238]

Wow amazing!

Would love direction on recommended getaway marriage retreats.

[@oliviagublerschwarz1884]

Jenise mentioned marriage books, can she recommend a list?

[@ericadickson6632]

In your opinion, is it ever ok to just have some time by yourself to scroll or play a video game to relax?

what about Elisha's parents? they also raised a large family, I am not sure there's any videos about them
