Practicing Hospitality Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

Hey friends! It's crazy to think this is our 101st episode together!! Since we've hit this milestone, we thought it would be a good idea to re-center one of our As For Me and My House "House Rules" by sharing about ways we implement hospitality to those around us. We specifically titled this episode PRACTICING Hospitality, because it is something that takes time and effort. Even if God has gifted you with a heart to be hospitable, sometimes we get so lost in the presentation or appearance of hospitality that we lose sight of the reason we do it in the first place. Tune in to some of the Scriptural references and our two cents on how we can be people who generously serve and open our homes up to others for the glory of God.

Weeding and Seeding Your Marriage Garden Jun 03, 2022

Show notes

Hey AFM+MH Fam! Can you believe this is our 100th episode?! Your love and support over the years have blessed us beyond words. We are forever grateful to you all. In celebration of our 100th episode and as a small token of our appreciation, we would LOVE to give Starbucks coffee to the first 100 people who share this episode on their IG story! Just tag Milena, Jordan, and AFM+MH, and then send your email address in a direct message to AFM+MH on Instagram. ALSO--be on the lookout for an exciting announcement for an opportunity with XO Marriage in the coming weeks! Today's episode is based on a word our pastor gave last week--all about how we have "pulled weeds" in our marriage garden and replaced them with new, life-giving seeds. Marriage takes work, but that work yields some of the most beautiful harvests imaginable when we trust the Lord and put Him first in all things.

Mindset Shifts to Make Today | Addressing Misconceptions We Believe May 21, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, we explore some misconceptions many of us are familiar with and how we can change our mindset to what the Bible says about them. Join us as we take a look at how ideas like meditation, manifestation, prayer, and identity can be properly filtered through Scripture. We would love to hear from you in the comments about what misconceptions you are unlearning in your walk with Jesus! Thank you for being here, and Lord bless you!

Ways We Meet Each Other’s Needs May 14, 2022

Show notes

Hey, fam! Thank you so much for tuning in! We are honored you’re here, and pray this episode brings some encouragement to you as you navigate what it looks like to serve one another and meet each other’s needs in a relationship. For men, we tend to be more problem-solving-focused and seek to be “Mr. Fix-It” when our significant other wants to be heard and validated more often than not. And for women, we sometimes feel like our significant other doesn’t listen or take what we say to heart, leaving us frustrated and feeling misunderstood. Thankfully, God’s Word gives us principles to adhere to while we discover what it means to serve our spouses and meet their needs. God bless you!

Verse of the Day:
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.”
- Galatians‬ ‭5:13-15‬

Being Who Your Family Needs You to Be featuring Chad Masters May 06, 2022

Show notes

You asked, and we delivered. Y’all have been loving the Girl Talk segments so much, that you requested a spin-off to feature a man’s perspective on some of these topics of family and marriage as well. So Jordan sat down with one of his good friends, Chad Masters, to share a little perspective on what it means to be intentional in your family’s life as the man of the house. We couldn’t think of a better guest to have on to discuss being who God has called you to be! If you are a guy listening to this, first off—mad props to you for agreeing to watch with your wife/fiancée/girlfriend lol. We pray this episode encourages you to keep seeking the role God would have you play in your family’s lives. And if you are one of the ladies tuning in, we’d love your feedback as well on if we should do a part 2 and/or occasionally cover other topics from a guy’s perspective. Be sure to follow Chad and his wife, Tori on YouTube and Instagram, and tune into their daily devotional podcast, Mornings with the Masters where they share Biblical encouragement and wisdom to help you grow in your devotion to the Lord. Also, keep an eye out for their new show, That’s H.O.T. podcast, where Chad and Tori have Honest, Open, and Transparent conversations with other guests on where faith meets real life. Blessings to you, friends!

Girl Talk: Being Who Your Family Needs You to Be featuring Kirsten Watson Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

Hey fam! Today’s episode is such a special one! We were honored to have Kirsten Watson join Milena to talk all things family, motherhood, and sometimes needing to slow down to ensure Christ remains central in our lives. As a mom of seven kids, wife of a professional athlete and cohost of a popular podcast, Kirsten is often asked by other women, “How do you do it?” They see her with her hands full and wonder, What keeps her going—and smiling—with everything she’s juggling? Kirsten’s answer begins with a simple first step: take a breath. The second step is also simple: lean in and understand that the Word of God gives us the breath we need to handle every situation because when we inhale God’s Word, we exhale peace. Be on the lookout for Kirsten’s new book—Sis, Take a Breath: Encouragement for the Woman Who’s Trying to Live and Love Well (but Secretly Just Wants to Take a Nap)—available everywhere on May 3rd, 2022.
Verse of the Day:
“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her” - Proverbs‬ ‭31:28‬

Replacing Worry with Peace Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

Did you know that there are 365 instances throughout Bible where we are told not to worry? That’s literally one for every day of the year! It’s as if God gave us daily reasons to trust in Him for our peace and and not in our circumstances. Join us as we unpack some practical application from Scripture about how we can experience “peace that surpasses all understanding.” Also, leave a prayer request in the comments regarding something you are worried/anxious about and we will be praying for you. And feel free to respond to others’ requests as well. God bless you always!
