As For Me And My House

Hey friends! We recently celebrated 6 years married, and while that might seem like a short amount of time to be wedded together, in this day and age we consider that a miracle by God’s grace. We’ve learned a few things along the way in our journey of marriage and have compiled a list of 6 things we’ve been really honing in on and (should) have as routine patterns in our lives at this time. Drop u...

Hey friends, this week's episode is all about some practical ways we can reconnect with our spouse to grow deeper in your intimacy and affection. The Apostle Paul encourages believers to "outdo one another in honor" (Romans 12), and when your focus is to care for the needs of your spouse and vice versa, you are guaranteed to be blessed and be a blessing. Let us know in the comments what you do to...

Dear friends, Today’s episode is by far the most difficult one we’ve ever done, but it was absolutely needed. Fair warning—this discussion may be triggering if you’ve gone through a miscarriage, but our hope is to offer encouragement to you and your family that God is near to you in your pain. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:4, “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” May you find pe...

Hey friends—many of you know by now that we are currently walking in the middle of a pretty deep valley. We were expecting our 4th child to be born in late October, but sadly we found out we miscarried and our baby is now with the Lord. While we took several weeks to grieve and mourn, God has wrapped His arms around us and brought us tremendous comfort through His Word, even in spite of the most d...

Whether you're a new Christian or have been walking with the Lord for decades, we all have struggled with believing lies, or have even bought into them at one time or another. On today's show, we want to share some common lies we've believed and how we can recognize, reject, and remove those lies from our life by the power of the Holy Spirit and replace them with God's Truth. Thank you to Relief B...

Hello dear friends—thank you so much for joining us on this week’s show. As Christ-followers, we believe one of the most important disciplines we can practice is having a posture of repentance. Even after our conversion to Christ, we still do wrong and succumb to our flesh on the side of heaven. But by God‘s grace, He has already forgiven every sin of ours—past, present, and future. And while that...

Hey friends! We are excited to bring you this episode because it hits home for us and no doubt many of you who are married and/or in a serious dating relationship.

The good thing is, it is healthy and even at times necessary to work through such issues because it’s part of maturing and growing...

Hey friends! As you know we have been exploring and researching various approaches to parenting that seem to best reflect the Scriptural instructions given to us by God. For the last couple of years, we’ve been implementing many of the tenants of what is called “gentle parenting.” The term and movement itself if left undefined can be misleading and even unbiblical. In today’s episode, we seek to t...

"The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." - Jesus in Mark 2:27. Many Christians in the West have lost the Jewishness of our worldview due to being removed by time and physical proximity to the Holy Land. But what if we rediscovered the "why" behind some of the most ancient disciplines of our faith? How might that help us rekindle family time and healthy rhythms? You don't even need...

In a perfect world, there is no one who pours into you, cares for you, and invests in enriching your spiritual life more than your parents. We are even told in Deuteronomy 6 exactly how God desires for the family unit to interact together for the glory of God. But what happens when your parents fail in that? Or better yet, what do you do when your family doesn’t grow up knowing Jesus as Lord and S...

When you close your eyes and imagine what it looks like to spend time with the Lord, what comes to mind? Are you at church? In your living room reading the Bible? Walking in nature marveling at creation? Singing songs of praise? Whatever your expression of spending quality time with God may look like, today’s episode seeks to upset some notions on what it truly means to “spend time with God” and a...

Similarly, there are some things we feel we’ve actually done right (thanks be to God) and if we are able...

Hello dear friends! Today we have a really special show because it features our good friend and brother in the Lord, Ezekiel Chapman, or “Zeke” for short. Zeke has been a family friend of ours for over nearly two decades and has quite a powerful testimony. He was on the show a few years back sharing about his struggles with suicidal thoughts and how Jesus met him where he was and not only saved hi...
