In this episode, Elisha and Katie Voetberg join the Courageous Parenting podcast to share their story of radical sacrifice for a worthy vision.
After buying land in northern Idaho, the Voetbergs made the bold decision to live in a tent through a brutal winter — all while homeschooling their six children, building their online music academy, and running their own top-rated podcast. This is a conversation full of grit, faith, and hard-won wisdom for any family willing to count the cost of pursuing what God has called them to.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
— Why the Voetbergs chose to sacrifice comfort for the sake of a bigger vision
— How they homeschooled six kids through a tent-living winter
— Lessons learned building an online business while living off-grid
— How faith carried them through the hardest seasons
— Encouragement for families facing their own season of sacrifice
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to pursue a dream that costs you something, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
