As For Me And My House – Details, episodes & analysis

In this heartfelt episode, we take a deep dive into the topic of home birth from the perspective of a Christian husband and father. If you're feeling uncertain or hesitant about your wife's desire for a home birth, this episode is for you!

Join us as we share our personal journey of navigating the fears and doubts that often accompany the decision to have a home birth. We'll explore the biblical principles that can guide us in this important decision, emphasizing the role of a husband’s leadership and faith in overcoming anxiety.

With the Lord’s guidance and a supportive home, you, too, can embrace the idea of home birth with an open heart. Tune in for encouragement as we explore how to support your wife as you prayerfully consider a home birth experience of your own!

Have you been feeling a nudge towards dressing more modestly but don’t know where to even start? We often overcomplicate modesty while failing to see the heart behind it. The way we dress and carry ourselves as women of God is an outward expression of inward transformation. In today’s episode Milena sits down with Joana Sosa, a modest fashion influencer who has been instrumental in helping Milena embrace a modest wardrobe by proving that modesty can still be stylish! Joana shares her journey from intentionally showing off her body in revealing clothing, to throwing away her entire wardrobe at 17, and how she truly encountered God right in the midst of it all. We all have to start somewhere and we pray this episode is a starting point for many women to embrace the beautiful call to modesty from the inside out.

Hey friends! This week’s episode is a continuation in our examination of the various ways in which the world’s ideas have influenced our way of life.

Hey friends! We are thrilled to hear your feedback from last week’s episode, and how so many of you are thinking and feeling the same as we are regarding the need to take an objective look at the world around us. As we delve into our series on opting out of the ways of the world, we—like you—desire to re-examine our approach to things like marriage, raising kids, and finances in light of everything happening in the world around us. Of course, there’s no better foundation to start with than the Scriptures and how God envisioned the meaning and purpose for family from the very beginning. Genesis 1:27-28 serves as the origination point for how we can think about making changes in our family for the better, and how we can opt into what God has called us to. In this episode, we will share our thoughts as well as some rich insights from our friends Jeremy Pryor and Jeff Bethke from Family Teams. Be sure to check out their website, podcast, and resources for more content that has inspired this podcast tremendously!

Hey friends! Have you felt that it is becoming increasingly difficult in our world today to raise children in the way of the Lord and seek to live out the Scriptures in a practical way? We shouldn’t be surprised by this, as we are told throughout the Bible that we are in a spiritual battle and that we who know Jesus are “in the world but no longer of the world.” Still it seems that we are highly under-resourced, or simply not even having the conversations we ought to be having about what we should do in light of this reality. Over the next few weeks, we are going to share some ideas regarding how we plan to implement a God-honoring approach to raising our kids in 2024 and beyond. We want to preface by saying that with this approach comes the likelihood of opting out of certain systems or ways of thinking that have become commonly accepted and considered standard—even for many Christians. We are simply opening the door for conversation and not shying away from asking questions like “why do we do things in *this* way?” or “Should we do something different instead?” If you’ve felt the same or are considering your own options, we welcome you to join us as we unpack this new mini series and we welcome your feedback and insight also!

Hey friends! This week’s episode is probably going to be a spicy one, but necessary. We want to encourage our listeners who have children how important your role as a mother or a father are in your child’s life. Confusion around the specific roles and identity of mother and father in our world today has caused a ripple effect to our children. It’s our desire to revert to an ancient, Biblical model of raising children and have a discussion around just how vital fathers and mothers are. If you’ve ever felt inconsequential to your child in your role, think again! God has made you (and no one else) the mother or father of your children for a specific purpose. Please do not take that fact for granted. If you are not yet a mom or a dad, there are many ways you can spiritually father or mother others who are younger than you who desperately need your encouragement and fellowship. If you are a single mom or dad who is seeking to honor the Lord in the way you raise your children, please know the Lord has a very special place for you in His heart. Your ability to live in such a super-human way ought to be celebrated, never shamed! Let us know your thoughts in the comments and how the Lord has called you to care for your children either biological, adopted, fostered, or spiritual.

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” - ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭2‬.

Hey y’all! Join us on this episode as we share some of the ways we show hospitality and use our home as ground zero for ministry opportunities. As Christians, we ought to be opening up our homes as much as possible to bring others into the world of the gospel on display. Share meals, have fellowship, and involve multiple generations in your life as often as you are able to. This is how the early church operated and it serves as a model for us in the church today. Let us know your thoughts in the comments and how you practice hospitality also!

Hey all! On today's episode, we discuss some of the key mistakes we made (and still sometimes make) when it comes to our marriage and how we are striving to improve in those areas. If you want to fail in marriage, do what we did and make no changes, LOL. If however, you want to have forward progress in your marriage and not continually run into the same problems over and over, this episode is for you!
