    When Your Spouse Feels Like A Roommate…

    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!

    Family, Deconstructionism, and Doubt with Pastor Craig Groeschel

    Is there a healthy way to "deconstruct" your faith? How can we best lead our children to follow the Lord, although it is ultimately their own decision? In this week's episode no topic is off the table as we speak with Husband, Father of 6, Pastor, and Author, Craig Groeschel. From prioritizing your marriage and raising children who follow Jesus, to wrestling with why our prayers may go unanswered, Pastor Craig has sound, biblical wisdom for it all. In his latest book, "The Benefit of Doubt", Craig Groeschel shares stories from his life and the Bible to teach us that doubts don’t have to take us away from God; instead, our doubts can actually draw us closer to God. 

    "The Benefit of Doubt" will be released on February 18th - learn more and pre-order a copy here: https://www.craiggroeschel.com/books/the-benefit-of-doubt

    Throwing Away Her Entire Wardrobe at 17 - Modesty with Joana Sosa
    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.

    Honoring Toxic Parents
    “What if my parents aren’t deserving of honor?” “You don’t know what they did to me!” You’re right. We don’t know your exact story and we’re not claiming to. The truth is our parents will not always be deserving of honor. And yet the truth is we’re called to honor them anyway. In this episode we publicly acknowledge the mistakes that we’ve made regarding honoring our own parents and what honoring them can look like practically speaking. There’s a promise attached to this biblical mandate and our God always keeps His promises. When the world screams “cut them off!” and “never speak to them again!” God’s word says “honor them” and “pray for them”. We pray this episode is an encouragement and a reminder that the redeeming grace of God is truly our only hope.

    Stop Letting Other Kids Raise Your Kids
    Who has the most influence over your children? Whose voice does your child value the most? As parents, we’d love to think it was us, but more often than not, it’s actually other children. Peer-centered settings in school, church, sports, and extracurriculars have created an environment where our kids are solely around children their age for the vast majority of their days. What’s the problem with this? Kids are unable to raise kids. Duetronomy 6 and numerous scriptures demonstrate that it’s the duty of parents and elders to properly raise their children— not the tv, not cellphones, and definitely not other kids. Join us as we share our strategies to combat this and what we’ve implemented along the way!

    We Can't Keep Outsourcing Our Kids' Education
    How can we expect our children to have a biblical worldview and know their identity according to God's word when they're so influenced by the world? Why is it so weird that parents want to actually have a say in the education of their children? Christian parents are often told we're "indoctrinating" our kids, yet as we continue our "world vs. word" series, in this epsiode we explore the idea that it's *all* indoctrination. Public school, home school, higher education, etc. all have an agenda and an end goal in mind. For us, our goal is simple- to follow the example given in the Scriptures and teach our children the word of God.
