- 73You Are More Than Your Trials Featuring Ezekiel ChapmanHello 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 his life, but his soul too. Zeke talks on the various creative outlets he is pursuing, to include sharing a never before publicly heard poem that he wrote over the course of 10 years and after being diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. You get to hear it here first and we consider that such an honor! If you wrestle with mental illness, dark thoughts, or perhaps know someone close to you who does, “Covina Vance” (Zeke’s artist name) has a lot of encouraging material coming soon in the form of reading and listening materials.

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” - Hebrews 4:14-16See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 82New Year Same YouHappy 2023 to the AFM+MH family! We missed you all so much and could hardly wait to be back with you. It is our hope that today's show serves as a refreshing encouragement and reminder that regardless of where you are on your New Year's resolution journey, you can find rest, peace, and assurance in Christ Jesus as your foundation for all things. While healthy lifestyle changes are good and noble pursuits, we must remind ourselves that our identity as followers of Jesus is found in knowing Him in relationship, and not in how many books we read or the calories we burn. God redeems us THEN makes us righteous, and then enables us to walk in the good works he has prepared for us. Maybe this is the year to actually stop striving for change by your own willpower and simply surrender to the Holy Spirit to work in and through you for His purposes. May He make that known to you this year.A big thank you to today's sponsors:BetterHelp - Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/myhouseKiwiCo - Get 50% off your first month on any crate line at kiwico.com/asformeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 83Thoughts & Prayers - Demystifying Spiritual GiftsToday's episode is particularly exciting because we are introducing a new segment on the show called Thoughts & Prayers where we ponder audience-provided topics and hold hands in prayer before the Lord. These shorter-form episodes are inspired by emails, direct messages, and comments submitted by all you beautiful people tuning in. On occasion, when we aren't discussing various topics (like Spiritual Gifts) we will devote entire shows to praying specifically for your individual requests in succession. We will accomplish this while also being careful to not use last names or particular information that may give away the identities of those who are entrusting us to pray for them.

- 8624: Resolving ConflictArguing and disagreeing are part of the human experience.

Jordan and Milena offer a few thoughts on how to successfully seek understanding among one another from their personal experience.

- 91Witnessing to Unsaved Parents featuring Brooklin WhiteIn 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 Savior, and you are the first one drawn to God? How do you have those conversations with your family after they see a visible change in your life? Milena sits down with her good friend Brooklin to share some of her stories of how she has witnessed to her parents since becoming a follower of Jesus. We pray this encourages you to share the gospel with those in your sphere of influence—especially those closest to you.A big thank you to today’s sponsors!BetterHelp - Get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/myhouseSimplisafe - claim a free indoor security camera plus 20% off your order with Interactive Monitoring at https://simplisafe.com/myhouseEarth Breeze - Go to https://earthbreeze.com/myhouse for 40% off your order!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 93Thoughts & Prayers: Sabbath Habits"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 to make it a religious or spiritual experience to see the fruit that can be borne out of practicing healthy sabbath habits. We are cautious to not become legalistic or hyper-spiritualized in this discipline, but rather, see it as a way to reorder our priorities. So many of us put rhythms to our work, play, outings, etc., so why not have that same intentionality with our rest? Today, we share some practical things we do to make memories with our family during our Sabbath.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 95The Dangers of Gentle ParentingHey 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 take the good attributes of gentle parenting into account while “spitting out the bones” of where it goes wrong. Our endgame is to Biblically parent and instruct our children in the way of the Lord, so that when they’re old, they will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).A special thank you to today’s sponsors:BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/myhouseEarth Breeze: Get 40% off at https://EarthBreeze.com/myhouseSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
