As For Me And My House

Hey friends! A few weeks ago we shared our experience having our first homebirth, and man was it an awesome experience! In today’s show, we answer questions y'all asked specifically about having a homebirth. Tune in to hear our thoughts on things like post delivery aftercare and clean up, medication/pain relief during a homebirth, and our plans for future homebirths (God willing!). Also, let us kn...

Hey Fam! We are so honored to have Chad back on the podcast this week! Tune in to hear our discussion on navigating what it means to be a man, husband, and father from a Christian perspective in today's culture. You don't want to miss the wisdom shared by Chad in this episode! Be sure to follow Chad and Tori on YouTube and Instagram, as well as tune into their daily devotional podcast, "Mornings w...

Today’s show is a special one! While Milena is spending some much-needed recovery time, we were blessed to have our good friend Joshua Alexander sit in for a refreshing and encouraging conversation on following Christ and honoring Him in every season of life including marriage, parenthood, and full-time work in ministry. We are so glad you’re here as always. God bless you friend! A big thank you t...

You don't have to live long to experience situations that can leave you hurt, suffering, and ultimately hard-hearted. In this episode, we look at some examples in Scripture of how certain characters handled adversity in a way that honored God when they had every reason to become jaded and bitter. Part of the human experience is going through trials, but thank God He provides us with the power to b...

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...

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 you...

It’s our prayer that this episode encourages you to invest in and/or restore your relationship with your mom or mother figures. God bless you and have a great weekend. Please continue in prayer for the community in Uv...

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! T...

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 wom...

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 b...

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...

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 reques...

Well, we tried to be as quick as possible with these questions while still trying to do them justice, but like most things--it all depends on the length of Jordan's ranting (LOL). We SO appreciate everyone's input and pray you are encouraged by today's episode! We want to give a big thank you to today's sponsors too!

We had an incredible experience at the XO Marriage Conference and have had some time to digest all that we took away from it over the past few weeks. We want to share some of the highlights and wisdom we gleaned with you all, and we encourage you to check out XO Marriage ( www.xomarriage.com ) for resources to help strengthen your marriage and keep Christ central to your relationship with your spo...

Today’s episode is all about wisdom we’ve gleaned from people in our lives who are much wiser than us. Whether that be pastors, Bible teachers, friends, or parents, there is great value in learning and applying transferred knowledge from those who have walked in the seasons of life we are currently walking in (whether that be 5 years ago or 50 years ago). Let us know some wise scriptures or saying...

Have you ever thought that you're beyond redemption because of the things you've done? We have, and so has Melanie, our dear sister who joins us today on the podcast to share some of the most vulnerable parts of her life in an effort to obey God's prompting in her life and also as an encouragement to you that you're never beyond redemption. God didn't wait for us to clean ourselves up to save us....

Hello you beautiful people! It is such a joy to be back in the saddle again with you in 2022. After taking a sabbatical from social media and content posting, we have been refreshed by God's Word and presence in some incredible ways.

Hello friends! Welcome to the last episode of AFM+MH for 2021. It is bittersweet for us, but we are looking forward to refreshing and resetting for 2022! Since Milena just announced her third pregnancy before taking the month of December off, we wanted to take your questions and comments about our experiences thus far regarding pregnancy. As always, thank you SO MUCH for being here. We pray the Lo...

Thank you for joining us on this special episode, friends! We have been blessed to have built some great relationships with friends who love Jesus and spur us on to love and good works throughout the years. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t experienced seasons of loneliness and hurt from friendships that have come and gone too. Thankfully, we trust the Lord to bring the right people into our lives...

Hey fam! Thank you for joining us on today’s episode! This topic of resting and allowing time for your body and mind to be refreshed is all too often overlooked in today’s society. With everything being driven by numbers and product output, it is important to remember that there are multiple ways to measure the performance and quality of something. Some of the best seasons of our lives have been t...

Hey friend! Welcome to a very special edition of AFM+MH. We are honored to have our dear friend Tori Masters join Milena for another installment of Girl Talk! This episode was especially enriching because of how much the conversation hit home. If you find yourself being robbed of joy and contentment due to struggling with comparing your life to the lives of others you may follow on social media or...
