As For Me And My House

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.

Welcome back, fam! In this week’s episode we’re switching things up a little… Join us as we sit down to share what God is currently teaching us through our personal Bible readings, group studies, and devotional time. While Jordan has been diving deep into the book of Genesis with a group of men from church, Milena has been reading both the Old and New Testaments, unpacking powerful connections between the two. We hope you enjoy this causal conversation as we discuss the beauty of God’s Word and how these personal revelations are shaping our faith for the better!

What happens when the honeymoon phase wears off? What do we do when the person we married becomes just someone we live with? 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”. These 7 practical steps are what we implemented to help us get to a healthy, thriving, God-honoring marriage once again. We pray this episode is a blessing and encouragement to those who need it!
