Hey friends! As we pivot slightly away from our most recent series on the Spirit Realm, we thought a discussion on Halloween is both timely and relevant to what we've been discussing previously. While we both grew up trick or treating, dressing in costumes, and even going to ghost and ghoul-themed parties, our perspective on how we choose to observe Halloween has shifted greatly since becoming parents and journeying with the Lord in recent times. While we do not seek to pass judgment or...

Last week we examined some of the discussions surrounding the first-generation Nephilim and what the ancient historical records mention about their reign of terror in the antediluvian (pre-flood) world. This week, we are discussing the post-flood return of the Nephilim and looking at some theories surrounding how they came to be. Regardless of how exactly they reappeared after the flood, we know they were found all throughout the Tanakh/Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, and God had good reason...

Hey y'all! On today's show, we are tackling one of our favorite Biblical topics to explore: The Nephilim. Who were they? How did they come to be? What does the Bible and other extra-biblical books have to say about them? If you had those questions, tune in today as we attempt to seek some clarity on the misty chapters of Genesis 4-6 and how it all fits together into God's master plan. Feel free to leave us a comment below and weigh in on this topic too! We love hearing from you all!

Hey fam! We hope you enjoyed the last episode featuring the Alexanders, but we are also very excited to pick back up with our conversation on the Spirit Realm! On today's show, we wrap up the rebellions that happened in the spirit realm by looking at what happened with humanity after the Tower of Babel event found in Genesis 11. God did something with the nations after Babel, and it ties in so amazingly with what Jesus commissioned us to do as we share the gospel with everyone we can. For...

Hello friends! We are so glad to be back with you and to share this fun episode we did with our good friends Josh and Sav before they moved across the country! While we are sad they are no longer living nearby, we are so excited for them to begin their journey in a new place close to family. Join us as we exchange stories and hear from the Alexanders in how the Lord has worked in and through them in their marriage and journey as parents to two sweet girls. And please pray for God to bless...

Well, we wish we could say we are surprised that we had to make a part 2 to this topic, but we aren't (LOL), and if you've been around here for a while, you know we can be long-winded on things. The depth of the subject matter doesn't help with how much there is to cover in only so much time, but we hope our excitement and passion for the Bible makes your time invested with us worthwhile! We are picking back up on the Genesis 6 events in today's show as a continuation of last week's...

Ok y'all, buckle up. If you've been intrigued by the content in this mini-series thus far (which is the overwhelming majority) then get ready to go even deeper with us today. So far, we've taken a look at the first rebellion which happened in the Garden of Eden, but now we are going to examine the second rebellion, which we are calling "The Seed War" because of the prophecy God proclaimed to satan after Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and fell into sin. Among...

Welcome back for another installment of our series on the spiritual realm! If you are new to the show, welcome! You might want to check out the previous episodes in this series, as they build onto one another each week. So far the response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are so glad y’all are enjoying this particular topic! It has been a blast for us to research and take a dive into this very interesting subject matter. This week we will examine the fall that took place in the Garden...

If you were to ask a Bible-believing Christian, what the reason for all the evil in the world is, the answer you’ll most likely get is “Adam and Eve giving into temptation by the serpent.” While this is certainly a major part of the story, it is not the full answer. In today’s episode, we are continuing in our series on the spirit realm by taking a tour through three events detailed in the Bible which scholars have identified as “the three rebellions.” Dr. Michael Heiser is one of the most...

Dear AFM+MH Family--It is a joy and honor to bring you our first ever miniseries! It is our hope and prayer that this series builds up over the coming weeks and gets better with every episode to leave you eager for the subsequent episode. And we couldn't think of a better subject to discuss than the Spiritual Realm. Shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding, the Spirit Realm is a widely discussed topic in both the Church and pop culture. But how many of us really understand what's going on in...

Hey friends! We recently celebrated 6 years married, and while that might seem like a short amount of time to be wedded together, in this day and age we consider that a miracle by God’s grace. We’ve learned a few things along the way in our journey of marriage and have compiled a list of 6 things we’ve been really honing in on and (should) have as routine patterns in our lives at this time. Drop us a comment and add to our list what you’re learning in your marriage! And don’t forget to let us...

Hey friends, this week's episode is all about some practical ways we can reconnect with our spouse to grow deeper in your intimacy and affection. The Apostle Paul encourages believers to "outdo one another in honor" (Romans 12), and when your focus is to care for the needs of your spouse and vice versa, you are guaranteed to be blessed and be a blessing. Let us know in the comments what you do to grow deeper in your love with your spouse!

Dear friends,
Today’s episode is by far the most difficult one we’ve ever done, but it was absolutely needed. Fair warning—this discussion may be triggering if you’ve gone through a miscarriage, but our hope is to offer encouragement to you and your family that God is near to you in your pain. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:4, “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” May you find peace and strength in Jesus Christ who heals all things and will one day wipe every tear from our...

Hey friends—many of you know by now that we are currently walking in the middle of a pretty deep valley. We were expecting our 4th child to be born in late October, but sadly we found out we miscarried and our baby is now with the Lord. While we took several weeks to grieve and mourn, God has wrapped His arms around us and brought us tremendous comfort through His Word, even in spite of the most difficult of seasons we’ve experienced. We will share more about our journey of healing in the...

Whether you're a new Christian or have been walking with the Lord for decades, we all have struggled with believing lies, or have even bought into them at one time or another. On today's show, we want to share some common lies we've believed and how we can recognize, reject, and remove those lies from our life by the power of the Holy Spirit and replace them with God's Truth.

Hello dear friends—thank you so much for joining us on this week’s show. As Christ-followers, we believe one of the most important disciplines we can practice is having a posture of repentance. Even after our conversion to Christ, we still do wrong and succumb to our flesh on the side of heaven. But by God‘s grace, He has already forgiven every sin of ours—past, present, and future. And while that is comforting news, we are to never take advantage of God’s grace as a license to stay stuck in...

Hey friends! We are excited to bring you this episode because it hits home for us and no doubt many of you who are married and/or in a serious dating relationship. You don’t have to be together long to experience tension and struggle within your interpersonal dynamics. The good thing is, it is healthy and even at times necessary to work through such issues because it’s part of maturing and growing closer together. In this episode, we go through a recent “fight” we had and share some practical...

Hey 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...

"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...

In 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...

Hello friends!! It brings us so much JOY to have our dear friend and sister Gabby on the show today to discuss how Good, Faithful, and True the Lord is even in the midst of many trials and adversities. May you be encouraged and comforted to know that God is our Great Healer and while we might not always experience that on this side of heaven, we know that those who are in Jesus have been healed from the great enemy of sin and death so that even the grave cannot hold us down.
Thank you to...
