As For Me And My House

Hey Friends! We are thrilled to bring this episode to you this week! One of the most requested topics we are asked about is how to navigate television and social media consumption with littles. The modern world of technology has presented unique challenges that parents are facing on top of the already demanding job of raising children in a culture that sees kids as vulnerable targets and easy to be manipulated. Media consumption can be a good thing (with the right content in the right quantity), but it can also be very toxic and destructive. Joining Jordan and Milena to share his thoughts and best practices is well-known actor, author, evangelist, and host, Kirk Cameron. With six children of his own--and now three grandchildren--tv and media impact is something near and dear to Kirk's heart. We pray this episode blesses you and your family! You can find more information on Kirk, his new Brave+ show "Iggy and Mr. Kirk" as well as many other faith-based, classical, and family friendly resources online at https://bravebooks.us

Hello friends! Thank you for joining us for another episode of As For Me and My House podcast! On this week's show, Milena and Jordan discuss a recent encounter with angels. While this may be cause for skepticism for some, we who believe the Bible and take it seriously should not be surprised to have experiences with spiritual beings from time to time. After all, Hebrews 1:14 says, that angels are "ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation," and later on in chapter 13 verse 2, we are told to "not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Additionally, we are told that angels visited and ministered to Jesus after his temptation in the wilderness in Matthew 4:11. If you've ever had a similar encounter like Milena describes in this episode, be sure to leave a comment below and share your experience! We look forward to reading your testimonies! Be blessed!

As the saying goes, "life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans," and that statement couldn't be more true when your family is in the midst of major life shifts. Maybe you're moving across the country. Perhaps you just welcomed your first child into the world. Or it could be that you started a new career with entirely different rhythms that need to be quickly learned. Regardless of the shift you and your family are making, the Lord is always at work accomplishing His purposes in your life, if we would just pause long enough to take note. In this episode, we are joined once again by our sweet friends Elisha and Katie Voetberg of Now That We're A Family. We were so refreshed and encouraged to hear their wisdom on how they gracefully walked through a long season of living off grid, building a home, caring for their six children and adapting to a new chapter of life! You can learn more about the Voetbergs, their online music academy, and pick up a copy of their first ever print magazine at: https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com

Hey friends! This episode is certainly different from our traditional content, but we had an absolute blast hearing from JT and his journey in pursuing the deeper things of the Lord! There comes a point in every serious Christian's walk where they have to examine what they've been taught (at one point or another in their life) and go back into the Scriptures to see what the Bible actually says. We all come to the Bible with certain biases, traditional positions, or presuppositions. Do not shy away from the Holy Spirit's prompting when this happens! Instead, lean into the wrestling and pray for wisdom and discernment as you seek out God's Truth. Show JT some love and follow him on Instagram, subscribe to him on YouTube, and subscribe to his audio podcast wherever you listen to podcasts!

Join us as we share our experience of how the Lord brought us through the valley of miscarriage into the gift of child-bearing once again. We know so many people who have experienced multiple miscarriages in a row and feel beyond discouraged and defeated by the repetition of grief. Can we encourage you to continue in your patient long-suffering and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Despite the worst of circumstances, He loves you and is working all things for your good and His glory--even the anguish of miscarriage. We pray this episode blesses you to fight on and keep the faith! There may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5). Hold on.

In marriage, we can often find ourselves choosing convenience over covenant— meaning we get so caught up in our everyday life that we neglect the very person we vowed to give our everything. In this episode we share 7 ways to help spouses get OUT of the roommate stage ASAP! After having another baby, moving, and trying to keep up with it all, we found ourselves in the “roommate phase”.

Is there a healthy way to "deconstruct" your faith? How can we best lead our children to follow the Lord, although it is ultimately their own decision? In this week's episode no topic is off the table as we speak with Husband, Father of 6, Pastor, and Author, Craig Groeschel. From prioritizing your marriage and raising children who follow Jesus, to wrestling with why our prayers may go unanswered, Pastor Craig has sound, biblical wisdom for it all. In his latest book, "The Benefit of Doubt", Craig Groeschel shares stories from his life and the Bible to teach us that doubts don’t have to take us away from God; instead, our doubts can actually draw us closer to God. 

"The Benefit of Doubt" will be released on February 18th - learn more and pre-order a copy here: https://www.craiggroeschel.com/books/the-benefit-of-doubt
