I would love to hear how your mom made health choices for her big family. How she kept her family so healthy.

[@TwiFiveGirls101]

*I gave up my daily news obsession in 2020 and my mental health and stress levels improved greatly.* Not knowing all the news all day everyday didn't negatively impact my day-to-day life. We are in an information overload time period and I'm constantly choosing to cut stuff out my feed or eye sight for better joy in life.

[@shiftingbabe3947]

Cut out the names of the parks you regularly visit if possible, I want your family to be safe. The world is crazy❤. Love all of your content, really has been a blessing to my life!

[@ourwholesomehome4967]

Agree :) my dad is in law enforcement and would say the same!

[@spunkycat6144]

There is a wife on you tube who I worry about that so much, she jogs and goes to parks and I just sit on eggshells, but I used to be a social worker and see life from a different lens.

[@AN-jw2oe]

Agree!

[@beckyjoy4811]

Yes. Thank you for saying that

[@shiftingbabe3947]

@spunkycat6144 oh gosh I was a social worker for 9 years really changed my life and warped my lens in a way I still pray to get past. The world apart from God is so wicked. Let us all pray to stay under his protection 🙏

Dr Paul, the author of the vaccine friendly plan actually came out and said he is anti vax now 😮 I got that book, but also watched the truth about vaccines.

[@marymcphersonwilkins2897]

Wow, thanks for posting this! I was in the middle of reading his book.

[@mf3610]

Where?

[@_CarolGiraldi]

It was on a podcast sorry I don’t remember the name. I was kinda of shocked.

[@lilyseestheworld7865]

@@_CarolGiraldi I think the name of his podcast is "against the wind". I think the book is a must-read for every doctor.

Where can I find the truth about vaccines? I am having trouble finding it.

[@jordynlopez8974]

Omgosh you answered my question 😊🥲☺️ honored! Thank you!!!!

[@alexsimone804]

I’d love to see an update of your “what I eat in a day” with this season, Katie. I am a breastfeeding mama and have a hard time conceptualizing that much food and hate calorie counting.

[@raisingradicals5564]

We love the Tuttle twins over here! Although my kids watch the show on Living Scriptures rather than the books. I should check those out! Wow it is so cool to hear that your families were mostly (or completely) unvaccinated! Your parents are pioneers in more ways than one. And not surprising at all to hear that all the kids thrived and were robustly healthy. I have 4 and have gone the same route and we have observed the same. Great episode as always!

[@Maverick-zy7yu]

i had the same experience with my 1st child. I didn’t experience a sickness with her until she was about 2. We moved to Texas and for some reason they got sick so much our first year here. I had a theory it was because we were in a lower income city so majority of the kids went to daycare school and probably didn’t have the best diets so we hung around them at libraries parks ect and caught a lot of stuff from them. So when my second got sick as an infant it was alarming to me since I had never dealt with it 😅 and I’m sure I annoyed our new pediatrician. anyway I’m still happy with our choice to non v

[@curtishar.8908]

Great convo!

[@brookbell5466]

Would you do a what I eat in a day video please? :)

[@stuartfamily6495]

Great to hear your thoughts on money. It's not a topic that easy to talk about in my experience so appreciate the candour.

[@AraceliSpeed]

Please bring your moms onto the show to discuss their vaccination choices! I’m a mom of 3 and with my first I trusted the doctor fully and did vaccines on the recommended schedule. With my second I was a lot more hesitant and he didn’t receive a couple of them but I ultimately gave in and got him caught up with the others. Now with my third I want to do things differently but it would be so helpful to hear from your moms as to why and how they were confident in their research and decision.

[@jennprescott2757]

Just compare the aluminum levels in the v schedule to what the FDA says is safe for injected amounts.

[@MrsAPeterson]

[@feelthroughmusic]

very much ok with being downvoted, but I will voice this... if you decide to not vaccinate your child against polio for example and then you have immigrants or your kid when grown up going to Asia or an endemic country... Do you risk him being paralyzed or whatever can happen? it was a case in us not long time ago. decide if all these diseases are eradicated and keep in mind these are infectious diseases, nothing to do with what you eat or drink (unless contamination and method of spread)

[@buffalolifesavers]

@@feelthroughmusic it is good to consider all sides of this issue. What the media doesn't tell you, is that over 90% of polio cases are either asymptomatic or have the symptoms of a cold. There is also evidence to suggest that much of the paralysis that occurred in the 50s & 60s was actually from DDT being sprayed on children rather than polio.

[@creativereindeer]

So looking forward to your kiddos getting into wing feather in time :) also put it up there as a series in the narnia vein!

[@phylissbrassey8431]

Loved Grimms when I was a child. My favorite included a troll under a bridge andi think of it every time I cross a bridge walking. I think I never realized how dark they were (ha ha)

[@frozenjonesfam]

We've read the Wingfeather Saga multiple times and are just now watching the series. The books are incredible, the animated series is fine...sometimes visuals can be scarier than what kids can make up in their minds. I've read them all aloud and then the kids will read them individually.

[@wellhavenco]

Thank you so much for answering my question! I asked about why Coeur d'Alene. I appreciated your answer, and found your thoughts about perhaps temporarily moving to a coast when your children are high school/college age and where there is more influence interesting. I grew up on the East Coast - in Massachusetts. My husband and I moved to Northern Michigan 9 years ago and absolutely love it here. However, with the changes in housing costs, as well as the city we live near becoming more and more liberal, we've considered moving. He works from home, which makes the options almost endless, but difficult when trying to make a decision. :) I can't see us moving south, because I love living up north, and love pine tree forests. :) Idaho seemed appealing because of those things.

[@RCGWho]

Spokane, WA is beautiful and so is Sandpoint, ID. But Sandpoint is more touristy, so probably expensive.

[@wellhavenco]

@@RCGWho Washington is so beautiful, but we wouldn't move there with our young family right now based on the state not being friendly towards family freedoms (political, homeschool, medical, etc.).

[@shdjka]

Did you talk about delete your social media? I love that i did. But it is interesting how few people do that. Have you done a episode on leaving social media?

[@amywilliams6321]

Loved that. Was a great take and something my friends have been questioning is why do certain writers of the Bible speak so aggressively if Jesus was so kind and whatnot. This helps. It’s context and it’s about God. We bring our human emotions to God and pray that He will heal our hearts and avenge His enemies. All of that. Great

[@Not_a_witch]

Jesus made a whip by hand and drove people out of the temple with it. He called the Jewish leaders vipers, wicked, and the synagogue of Satan. He called out the women at the well for having 5 husbands and living in fornication. He’s was definitely aggressive when it was called for.

[@heidia.8097]

The author of the “Wing Feathered Saga” Andrew Peterson has written music too, and his music is so biblically based ❤

[@karenholsopple6388]

I actually got to spend several hours with him back when I was in college (as well as Bebo Norman). Catered their meal, sold their merch and guided them around campus when they came for a concert. He was the kindest, most genuine artist I got to work with. He spent as much time with us as possible and was a blast. Bebo was the same.

[@alissavisscher6264]

I never comment but as an absolute fan of the Wingfeather Saga, I SO recommend YOU read it! I understand your hesitation about fantasy but I am blown away by the redemptive, self-sacrificial themes in the Wingfeather Saga. My personal opinion is that it's right up there with the Chronicles of Narnia. Just my 2 cents haha. Also, fun fact, I listened to a podcast once (pre 2020) that shared research showing people who don't vaccinate are not necessarily politically biased one way or the other but that they tend to be the extremes of either end of the political spectrum i.e. far eight, far left.

[@RCGWho]

Someone also compared it to Rowling. Is it similar?

[@edenelston7668]

Idk if I'd go so far as to rank Andrew Peterson up there with C.S. Lewis... But also, I haven't actually read the Wingfeather Saga. It's on my list though. My children actually point out all the time how Lewis incorporated pictures of Truth from Scripture in his writing, how evil is always conquered by Good, sin is forgiven but at great cost and sacrifice (Aslan taking Edmond's place on the Stone Table). I think when your kids are steeped in the Bible, they are naturally able to see the parallels and similarities and truth and goodness in great literature.

[@beccaO0906]

We are on book 3 of The Wingfeather Saga. We first read from The Illustrated Bible and then read a chapter or two to littles before bed. Our son is 5 and more interested, and our daughter doesn’t listen much… but when they play pretend they will take on roles of the main characters :) it’s an interesting series even for adults!

[@sarahhayashi1567]

Would you feel comfortable with them roleplaying the powers of crystals and gems when that's what so many young women are doing right now?? It's a form of witchcraft.

[@MotherhoodforEternity]

There’s already plenty of darkness and confusion in this world. As for our family, we have made a choice to read the Bible and other Bible-based, character building stories and mission stories to our children and even to ourselves. It is our goal and prayer to “see no evil, hear no evil, and say no evil.”

[@Bonnieuxful]

Our Messianic Congregation in Fresno, California is family oriented❣️🥰💕🙏🏻👫👫👫👫👫❤️

[@sierrahummel6327]

I was raised in central Oregon and currently live in Bend. I have seen such a huge shift in the last few years as well. My husband and I have a two year old and want to grow our family more. We just feel this isn’t the place to do so.

[@Abigailwark]

So right about the anti-kid vibe in Bend, OR. My husband is from Oregon and we have four little kids. Last time we were in Bend we felt the same weird hostility towards families.

[@edenelston7668]

That's everywhere. Even in the church! Not all churches, but there's major hostility toward large families and children in general. Basically, because of decades of propaganda against large families, the perfect 2 kid households, and the American dream being hindered by the irresponsibility of having lots of children... All of it is hogwash, and there's a huge resurgence in large families, and many waking up to the joy and beauty of welcoming many children. Some will look on and applaud what we're building, others will scoff and ridicule- and that's just life. We just keep on raising our children in the Lord and let that speak to onlookers.

[@erikamagrisse]

If you guys only knew the vaccine schedule for our kids here in Brazil! it's about 3 times the amount of vaccines from the American schedule, it's really crazy. From zero to about 14 months the babies have AT LEAST one vaccine per month, mostly two per month and getting to a max of three per month. It's really taxing on them...

[@mama_knitter]

Would love to know how you’re doing fasting like a girl without your period? I’m nursing and since I don’t have a cycle I have no idea.

[@sarahhayashi1567]

I don't know about the wing feather saga. Every episode so far has been extremely dark. My youngest hated it and had nightmares. The introduction of crystals/gems with powers etc seems so dangerous when i have known many people sucked into using crystals and stones for their "powers". Its a form of witchcraft.

[@UlyGooly]

Agreed.

[@herhomebook]

Wingfeather is definitely more for middle childhood age, than for young children. My son started them at 9 , and he enjoys them, but I wouldn't start them earlier personally, even with advanced readers. The only issue I have is for kids reading pretty far above grade level, as many classically educated readers do, is that they are written at a middle-childhood level and the subject is middle childhood level. So my son finds the story interesting, but the writing a little boring.

[@jennprescott2757]

Yes! My kids are too good at reading for their age. They have read all the age appropriate books we can find haha. But waiting for them to age to move up to new books lol

[@lonnajoy]

I don't appreciate the Wingfeather Saga very much very...odd. However, my kids loved them...I've had a hard time figuring out if they are ok.

[@RCGWho]

Someone described it something like if cs lewis and jk Rowling had a baby. Is it witchcraft?

[@karenholsopple6388]

Andrew Peterson is a very solid Christian. It's part of the reason why he didn't turn into a huge hit-maker for CCM. Refused to do things the way they wanted.

[@lonnajoy]

It's not that I feel like it's wrong. It just feels really over the top and to many nightmarish creatures for kids.

[@sarahhayashi1567]

Using crystals and gems for their powers is witchcraft. I know people sucked into this. We stopped watching wingfeather...it seemed like a clever introduction to children from the enemy. It's a dark show. My kids had nightmares.

[@lonnajoy]

@@sarahhayashi1567 I didn't really know that they used the crystals and gems. We have mostly just listened to the audiobooks though I have not watched the shows.

In response to my own question, Googling the author like "Connor Boyack mormon" or "Connor Boyack lds" does indeed turn up his talking about being Mormon. That's rough. And too bad. I'd like some good books for my kids.
