Opting Out of the World’s Systems

Opting Out of the World’s Systems

Author: As For Me And My House February 19, 2024 Duration: 35:45
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 shouldn’t 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 “in the world but no longer of the world.” 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 standard—even for many Christians. We are simply opening the door for conversation and not shying away from asking questions like “why do we do things in *this* way?” or “Should we do something different instead?” If you’ve 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!

In the middle of the chaos that comes with raising a family, where do faith and daily life actually meet? That’s the space explored in As For Me And My House, a podcast hosted by Jordan and Milena Ciciotti. This isn’t a polished, theoretical discussion, but a real-time conversation between a husband and wife navigating their commitment to Jesus alongside the beautiful, messy reality of parenting five young children. You’ll hear them work through Biblical principles in the context of marriage disputes, financial stress, and the sheer exhaustion of the day-to-day. Episodes might pivot from a deep dive into a scriptural truth to the hilarious antics of their dogs, all with the same genuine tone. The Ciciottis built this podcast specifically as a place of honest connection, believing that encouragement grows from authenticity, not from having everything figured out. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where the talk is raw, the laughter is frequent, and the support is tangible. It’s for anyone who wants their spirituality to feel grounded and relatable, woven into the fabric of ordinary stories and shared struggles.
