Show Notes
Hey Friends! We are thrilled to bring this episode to you this week! One of the most requested topics we are asked about is how to navigate television and social media consumption with littles. The modern world of technology has presented unique challenges that parents are facing on top of the already demanding job of raising children in a culture that sees kids as vulnerable targets and easy to be manipulated. Media consumption can be a good thing (with the right content in the right quantity), but it can also be very toxic and destructive. Joining Jordan and Milena to share his thoughts and best practices is well-known actor, author, evangelist, and host, Kirk Cameron. With six children of his own--and now three grandchildren--tv and media impact is something near and dear to Kirk's heart. We pray this episode blesses you and your family! You can find more information on Kirk, his new Brave+ show "Iggy and Mr. Kirk" as well as many other faith-based, classical, and family friendly resources online at https://bravebooks.us See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Starting and ending our day like this has been a total gamechanger during this busy season with so many littles. It's taken tweaking and refining, and we're still open to feedback on it, but it's blessed us so much that we just had to share it with you guys. This routine gives us time to focus on what's most important, it allows us to shepherd our children in the way we desire to do so, and it keeps our home running smoothly while staying well-kept. We'd love to hear if this inspired you to try something similar! Also let us know what your routine looks like, we're always looking for ways to improve ours in order to be closer to the Lord.

We came across a beautiful clip of Rich Mullins recently, where he tells the story about how he got saved when he was 2 or 3 years old. It's sweet, but it brings up the question: can kids that young really be saved? Which brings up...a lot more questions. Join us as we dive into this question from the perspective of a mother and a father who desire their children to be saved with "boring testimonies", who are thinking a lot lately about what it really means when Jesus tells us to be like little children.

Welcome back to As For Me and My House! We're back for another season, and while there will be more of what you know and expect, we're also pressing record at a very different stage of life than any of our previous seasons. We've taken an intentional break over the past almost-year, we now have 5 children, and the Lord has been continuing to prune us, teach us, and lead us. We're in such a season of grace and blessing and overflow - which seems silly since we've had 5 children in the last 6 years - but it really feels like the Lord is leading us to start recording again to share what we've been learning and discerning, and we want to share what we've been learning in our home, in case any of it's applicable to your home. Thanks for joining us, we can't wait for you to hear what's coming up over the coming weeks and months!
