Have you been feeling a nudge towards dressing more modestly but donât 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 todayâs 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.

âWhat if my parents arenât deserving of honor?â âYou donât know what they did to me!â Youâre right. We donât know your exact story and weâre not claiming to. The truth is our parents will not always be deserving of honor. And yet the truth is weâre called to honor them anyway. In this episode we publicly acknowledge the mistakes that weâve made regarding honoring our own parents and what honoring them can look like practically speaking. Thereâs a promise attached to this biblical mandate and our God always keeps His promises. When the world screams âcut them off!â and ânever speak to them again!â Godâs word says âhonor themâ and âpray for themâ. We pray this episode is an encouragement and a reminder that the redeeming grace of God is truly our only hope.

Why is the word âsubmissionâ so taboo in todayâs society? What does submission *actually* look like according to Godâs word? Formerly known as Feminine Not Feminist on IG, today we hear from Anneliese as she recounts her struggles with submission early on in her marriage. From an unhealthy view of submission, to learning how to respect her husband, Anneliese shares how she relied on Godâs word to shape her understanding of this biblical mandate. Whether single, engaged, or married, we truly believe all women can benefit from this encouraging and edifying conversation. Enjoy!

Who has the most influence over your children? Whose voice does your child value the most? As parents, weâd love to think it was us, but more often than not, itâs 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. Whatâs the problem with this? Kids are unable to raise kids. Duetronomy 6 and numerous scriptures demonstrate that itâs the duty of parents and elders to properly raise their childrenâ not the tv, not cellphones, and definitely not other kids. Join us as we share our strategies to combat this and what weâve implemented along the way!

Practically speaking, what does preparing for marriage look like? How can we use our singleness to set ourselves up for success in marriage? In this weekâs episode we bring back our good friend, Alia Jones, to share her journey to contentment in singleness while still contending for her future marriage. For many, our 20s can feel like an awkward space between grieving where we once were, while longing to be where we desire next. Alia shares her struggles with life-altering transitions and how she still honors God and her parents in the process.

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.

Continuing our World vs. Word series, todayâs âhot takeâ is Godâs original design for raising children. When we look at the Scriptures we see how much emphasis God places on family, yet when we look at our society today we see more and more people choosing to delay starting their families or even opting to not have children at all. Our hearts behind todayâs episode is to get back to the significance of why strong families are still important and desperately needed. Our children need Biblically sound parenting, but more importantly they need Jesus.

Hey friends! We are thrilled to hear your feedback from last weekâs episode, and how so many of you are thinking and feeling the same as we are regarding the need to take an objective look at the world around us. As we delve into our series on opting out of the ways of the world, weâlike youâdesire to re-examine our approach to things like marriage, raising kids, and finances in light of everything happening in the world around us. Of course, thereâs no better foundation to start with than the Scriptures and how God envisioned the meaning and purpose for family from the very beginning. Genesis 1:27-28 serves as the origination point for how we can think about making changes in our family for the better, and how we can opt into what God has called us to. In this episode, we will share our thoughts as well as some rich insights from our friends Jeremy Pryor and Jeff Bethke from Family Teams. Be sure to check out their website, podcast, and resources for more content that has inspired this podcast tremendously!

Hey friends! Have you felt that it is becoming increasingly difficult in our world today to raise children in the way of the Lord and seek to live out the Scriptures in a practical way? We shouldnât be surprised by this, as we are told throughout the Bible that we are in a spiritual battle and that we who know Jesus are âin the world but no longer of the world.â Still it seems that we are highly under-resourced, or simply not even having the conversations we ought to be having about what we should do in light of this reality. Over the next few weeks, we are going to share some ideas regarding how we plan to implement a God-honoring approach to raising our kids in 2024 and beyond. We want to preface by saying that with this approach comes the likelihood of opting out of certain systems or ways of thinking that have become commonly accepted and considered standardâeven for many Christians. We are simply opening the door for conversation and not shying away from asking questions like âwhy do we do things in *this* way?â or âShould we do something different instead?â If youâve felt the same or are considering your own options, we welcome you to join us as we unpack this new mini series and we welcome your feedback and insight also!

Hey friends! This weekâs episode is probably going to be a spicy one, but necessary. We want to encourage our listeners who have children how important your role as a mother or a father are in your childâs life. Confusion around the specific roles and identity of mother and father in our world today has caused a ripple effect to our children. Itâs our desire to revert to an ancient, Biblical model of raising children and have a discussion around just how vital fathers and mothers are. If youâve ever felt inconsequential to your child in your role, think again! God has made you (and no one else) the mother or father of your children for a specific purpose. Please do not take that fact for granted. If you are not yet a mom or a dad, there are many ways you can spiritually father or mother others who are younger than you who desperately need your encouragement and fellowship. If you are a single mom or dad who is seeking to honor the Lord in the way you raise your children, please know the Lord has a very special place for you in His heart. Your ability to live in such a super-human way ought to be celebrated, never shamed! Let us know your thoughts in the comments and how the Lord has called you to care for your children either biological, adopted, fostered, or spiritual.

âDo not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.â - ââHebrews⏠â13âŹ:â2âŹ.
Hey yâall! Join us on this episode as we share some of the ways we show hospitality and use our home as ground zero for ministry opportunities. As Christians, we ought to be opening up our homes as much as possible to bring others into the world of the gospel on display. Share meals, have fellowship, and involve multiple generations in your life as often as you are able to. This is how the early church operated and it serves as a model for us in the church today. Let us know your thoughts in the comments and how you practice hospitality also!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey friends! We are honored to have our dear brother and sister in Christ, Elisha and Katie, from Now That We're A Family on today's episode! We often hear about the downside of having children in today's day and age, and that position is only growing more and more popular in society. But what if we took seriously God's intent for our lives to be fruitful and multiply in all aspects of our lives, and that includes having children of our own, adopting, fostering, and mentoring the next generation? Join us as we discuss the benefits of large family teams and the joy that comes from doing life in this way for the glory of God!
