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!

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 at the right season, and He is always faithful to do just that. If you are struggling to find the right circle of people to call friends, ask God to begin bringing them into your life and don’t settle. Quality relationships take work and time to build, but we asked you all for some top qualities you look for in friendships, and it was so encouraging to us as we read your responses, so we wanted to share some of them in this episode. May God richly bless you!Follow us on IG:@asformeandmyhousepodcast@milenaciciotti @jordanciciottiSubscribe to As For Me and My House Podcast and Milena’s Channel on YouTubeJoin our Facebook Group: As For Me and My House PodcastA loving environment to talk all things podcast, share prayer requests and praise reports!

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 the least “exciting,” in that we weren’t trying to grind and hustle so much that we lost the joy our efforts brought us. What does your current season of life look like as far as rest goes? Are you in a good rhythm of rest and labor, or could you (like us) take some steps to balance that better? We hope today’s discussion encourages you and ultimately guides you to find your rest in the Lord Jesus, because he calls us to come to him when we are weary and heavy burdened (Matt. 11:28-30).To find out more about how you can participate in this year’s Operation Christmas Child event, visit SamaritansPurse.org/occGet 50% off you first month plus FREE shipping on any crate line with code “asforme”at kiwico.comGet 40% off your entire home security system at simplisafe.com/myhouseGet 10% your first month of services at BetterHelp.com/myhouseFollow us on IG:@asformeandmyhousepodcast@milenaciciotti @jordanciciottiSubscribe to As For Me and My House Podcast and Milena’s Channel on YouTubeJoin our Facebook Group: As For Me and My House PodcastA loving environment to talk all things podcast, share prayer requests and praise reports!

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 even interact with in real life, tune in to hear some Holy Spirit led encouragement. Additionally, the ladies share some tremendous insight on how to go about honoring the Lord in your relationships—whether it be dating, marriage, parent-child, friendship, or anything in between. God created us for community because He Himself is community. Let’s honor one another in our relationships as an expression of worship and obedience to the Lord. Lastly, don’t forget to give Tori and her husband Chad a follow on social media, check out their YouTube channel, and tune into their daily devotional podcast, The Messy Masterpiece, wherever you listen to podcasts!

Hey friends! We are super excited to bring you this very special episode today because it is our first ever cross over collab and we couldn't have thought of anyone we'd want to have on the podcast more than our good friends Chad and Tori Masters! Do you ever meet someone and instantly become best friends? That's what happened when we met up with Chad and Tori after getting connected through mutual friends. While we have only hung out twice, it's as if we have been friends for a lifetime. Their passion for Jesus and genuine friendship is a huge encouragement for us and our family. We hope you enjoy our conversations of the first year of marriage and getting to hear some of the Masters' story on this exclusive episode.

Today’s episode features a special guest sitting in to chat with Milena—her good friend, Alia 💛Join in for a conversation based on Romans 12:2 and what you can do to be transformed by God during your early adulthood and college years. The transition from high school to college is such a pivotal point in many of our lives because it’s so easy to either run to God or away from Him. Tune in as Alia shares from personal experience how she gave Jesus her “yes” while saying “no” to the temptations of college / this world.Sponsors:BetterHelp - BetterHelp.com/MYHOUSESimpliSafe - SimpliSafe.com/MYHOUSEMoink - MoinkBox.com/MYHOUSEFollow‌ ‌us‌ ‌on‌ ‌IG:‌ ‌@asformeandmyhousepodcast‌ ‌@milenaciciotti‌ ‌ ‌@jordanciciotti‌ ‌‌Subscribe‌ ‌to‌ ‌‌As‌ ‌For‌ ‌Me‌ ‌and‌ ‌My‌ ‌House‌ ‌Podcast‌‌ ‌and‌ ‌‌Milena’s‌ ‌Channel‌‌ ‌on‌ ‌YouTube‌ ‌‌Join‌ ‌our‌ ‌Facebook‌ ‌Group:‌ ‌‌As‌ ‌For‌ ‌Me‌ ‌and‌ ‌My‌ ‌House‌ ‌Podcast‌ ‌A‌ ‌loving‌ ‌environment‌ ‌to‌ ‌talk‌ ‌all‌ ‌things‌ ‌podcast,‌ ‌share‌ ‌prayer‌ ‌requests‌ ‌and‌ ‌praise‌ ‌reports!‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌place‌ ‌where‌ ‌we‌ ‌can‌ ‌build‌ ‌a‌ ‌community‌ ‌beyond‌ ‌a‌ ‌weekly‌ ‌podcast‌ ‌episode.‌ ‌‌Compassion‌ ‌International‌ ‌Be‌ ‌a‌ ‌part‌ ‌of‌ ‌releasing‌ ‌children‌ ‌from‌ ‌poverty‌ ‌in‌ ‌Jesus’‌ ‌name‌ ‌at‌ ‌compassion.com/myhouse‌ ‌ ‌‌Verse‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Day:‌ ‌‌Romans 12:2 - “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

This week’s podcast episode focuses on various practical ways to break out of a dry season spiritually. The important thing to remember as Christians is that we don’t have to rush God’s timing. Of course we want to feel the Lord’s presence in amazing ways all the time, but we also trust that there is purpose in the “valleys” and He will use it all for His glory and our good. If you’ve been wanting to rekindle the fire in your spirit and walk closer with the Lord, tune in to hear some resources and habits that have helped us tremendously.Follow us on IG:@asformeandmyhousepodcast@milenaciciotti @jordanciciottiSubscribe to As For Me and My House Podcast and Milena’s Channel on YouTubeJoin our Facebook Group: As For Me and My House PodcastA loving environment to talk all things podcast, share prayer requests and praise reports!
