I agree!! I like hearing him talk about God and obeying Him! We can’t leave Jesus out of why we are living our life! ❤️ inclusive yes! But we need to remember our why (hello pot) 😂
I enjoy your you tube channel. You have a beautiful family! One suggestion: When you ask Josh a question, let him answer without interrupting him. Give him time to think before stepping in with your own thoughts. :)
Just a dating suggestion... We have been married 14.5 years and the last couple of years we have been very intentional to have at home date nights on Friday night. I feed children (ours are 11.5, 9.5, 6, and 4) about a half hour earlier than usual and then they get in PJs and brush teeth, watch 1 show and get in bed about an hour early. They can read books but stay in their room. That gives my husband time to get us either take out or put together a meal for us. We sit down and eat together by ourselves! We get uninterrupted time to talk about whatever. I have a special wood tray and bowl that we sometimes will put our favorite cheese and nuts in and have some wine (or sometimes just popcorn) and watch movie or a couple of episodes form The Office. Follow this up with Saturday morning coffee together. We let our children watch 2 shows each (yes that's 8 20-min shows) and have unlimited cereal (only time they get to eat junk cereal). We spend this time discussing our week plans as well and any parenting issues we need to resolve.
Yessss! We do this also! We refer to it as out "in house date night". We have been together for 21 yrs and have two teenagers now but started this tradition when they were younger.
My eleven year old daughter and I watch your videos every Friday night, we love them! She says that Josh had lots of thoughts that he didn't finish saying. 🤭
I love how Josh is so helpful with the kids… After all, they belong to the both of you, haha! He’s so sweet, and it’s easy to tell he’s such a good husband and father. Thank you for opening up your lives to so many random strangers. I’m personally so private that I feel like it would feel like an invasion of space and privacy. I’ve enjoyed following along on your journey.
This is so my husband and I. I talk fast and a whole lot, he talks slowly and I always want to dive in and explain more for him. And I swear golf is my husband's love language 🤣.
I think Josh said that really well about your culture! A thriving relationship with Christ is what matters and we all have our own ways of living that out!
Hi Megan. I found your channel in the fall/winter of 2020. Your faith and wholesome family values has really helped me through some difficult times. In one of your episodes you mentioned the Mennonite Disaster fund. I had the pleasure of speaking to someone who benefitted from this wonderful organization. They had built his mom a new home that had been lost in a flood. Hearing this story touched my heart. The work that this organization does is nothing short of amazing. Any case, keep being you and God bless.
I loved Josh’s input during this whole conversation! Great topics and you both have really given new things to think about and bring into my own life. Thank you for sharing! I am a working married mom of 2 little girls, 4 and 1. My 4 year old has Stage 4 kidney disease and will be on the transplant list this month. Your videos are really inspiring to me and have helped me grow as a mother and wife.
Praying for your precious daughter to get a new kidney! For everything to go well after the transplant. May the Lord bless your family. Grammy from Texas.
Loved this video. I'm so glad you had Josh on with you to talk about things. He seems like a very likeable guy and you can tell how much he loves and respects you.
I’m being sincere about this, I feel if you would listen more and calm down.. listen to your husband and give him a chance to talk. I learned this with my husband. He often didn’t express himself cause I didn’t give him a chance. You can learn so much more, when you become more reserve and care what others have to say.
Most people don’t appreciate not being able to finish their sentences, but there are others who simply DO NOT care. Maybe Josh is one of those latter people.
I think they’ve touched on this a few times. Meagan is the “youtuber” and because of that she is going to talk more. I for one feel like Josh talked a lot more on this video like he is getting more comfortable behind the camera. I think they have nice chemistry also I think when she reads your comment she will probably take offense. Unsolicited advice is rarely well received.
That's true. Thank God that this poor child at least isn't named 'Butcher' only 'Miller'. I wonder how many people would think they were calling him by his family name or that his family had the double name Miller-Fox.
Oh my gosh yes we have many refugee families who have come to our area in Michigan and my church has been doing amazing working finding furniture, clothing, kitchen items and more. It’s been so amazing the out pouring of love and help.
@@mollyl8704 no. I’m Lutheran. Our church has teamed up with many in our area, Jewish and Muslim too. It’s been so amazing to see this community come together to find housing, clothing and home items. Find jobs and ESL classes. Drive then to appointments, school and work. Just amazing.
Hi! I’m one of those super different from you viewers - travelled the world, live in London, single, no kids, busy, creative job. I watch you because it’s a very relaxing and entertaining view into a totally different life, which makes me wonder certain “what if-s”. Thanks for being a window into a different and diverse lifestyle!
I find it beautiful that not only are you sharing God's love with the refugees, you are sharing Your love which is evident in your tears Megan! You guys have beautiful hearts! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so enjoying watching different folks with different ways of life. Now, I find this lovely Amish family. Your channel is awesome. There are awesome, wholesome things to see on social media. It's what your heart is seeking.
I always save these videos to watch with Doug so we can have a virtual one-sided double-date with you guys. 😆 It’s encouraging to hear your conversations, especially since we don’t get a lot of interaction with other young families. Keep up the good work! We appreciate you guys. ♥️
Thanks to both of you for chatting about your life with us. I have so much respect for those in the building industry and the challenges of having to tell a customer they will have to wait longer than expected for a supply and it may be more expensive than before. It all works out but something to manage and learn through for sure!
Oh boy, when is your next baby? Its gonna be interesting! Josh is certainly a good husband and father. Works his own job and a huge help at home also. I enjoyed his input in the video too. It was cool when he shared about faith. 😊 Miller is so adorable!!
Right there with you in the trenches of motherhood. 5 children ages 10, 7, 6, 3 and 9 month old. It feels like the baby grew out of the baby stage so quickly! Looking forward to some time in Florida as well in 2 weeks or so.
Pregnant with (hopefully) our first babe!!🙏🏻 (2 miscarriages last year, that’s why I say hopefully) The Lord is good. I’m so thankful for your channel.
My husband has his own property services/construction company and we can feel his pain and yes we need good workers and can’t find them!!! Rest in the Lord. He will provide!
I think you summed up the downside of every lifestyle...not inclusive/my way isn't the only way. I truly believe that is what's wrong with our society in many ways. I have 2 kids (7&3) and since #2 have been struggling to get my life balance back. Witching your videos helps me to stay focused on my faith and put my family above social expectations.
Megan I feel like you put words into your husbands mouth. I have learned from a quiet husband to slow mind mind and allow my husband to collect his thoughts. He doesn’t run at the same speed as me but has a lot to share.
Hey Megan I love how honest you two are to us and each other! I can very much so relate on so many of these topics! You two are so cute and funny together. Jesus knew what he was doing when he joined you two together. And btw your newborn baby is so so cute as well as the rest of your children! And another thing yes if your able to be self employed it's totally better then working under somebody. There's so many more benefits! More pay, more time off, flexible schedule, your your own boss, knowledge and so much more! My husband has been self employed for 15 years and he owns his own business with handyman/refrigeration. There are positive sides and negative sides but always has the positive out weighed the negative. Jesus bless you and your beautiful family. ❤️❤️🙏
I really enjoyed this video. It's really interesting to watch couples talk and interact. Josh seems gentle and patient, his words have meaning. I wish I was like that, not talking until I really had something to say. X
I love your honesty and transparency. My husband and I have been married for 6 years and have a 3 yo, 1.5 yo and expecting #3 any day now! We live in mid-Maine and we don’t see really any refugees. I don’t know if it is too cold or what, but there are plenty of unsaved people everywhere that we can all be “backyard missionaries”. Obviously that doesn’t discount the international missionaries and their amazing and important work, but God will open our eyes to opportunities to share His love close to home if we allow Him to!
Great video. We are supper blessed to have husbands who choose to love us and do the good and rough days with us. My husband and I are married 20 yrs we have 4 children 19, 17, 13 and almost 8. My husband was/is so involved with all the things with our children. Life has thrown a different twist at us and my mother who has dementia is living with us. He has embraced her and this life like a wonder man. Again, we are beyond blessed.
I have 4 and a half hours to myself today and I'm celebrating by working on some knotty decluttering that I wanted to do with no interruptions. Our kids are ages 7 to 21. We are dairy farmers, so someone is always coming or going. Great video! I mean, they all are, but this one was exceptional!😊
I'm probably one of your few subscribers who doesn't have kids (and never wanted any), but I still enjoy watching your little family. You have such a kind and welcoming soul. It was very nice to hear Josh's input in this video.
I always love your videos Megan and look forward to each Thursday you post. I especially love the Q&A's you and Josh do together - they are like a bonus. You both are so sweet! Since you brought up the Mennonite culture in this video - I do have a question that perhaps you could/would address in another video chat of yours. I live in a small province in Canada and we in the last 4 or 5 years have had an influx of Mennonite families move into our area. If I were to guess, I would say they would be more conservative than your family perhaps. They wear the traditional dress to the ankle, the Mennonite cap, etc ... This leads me to my question .... Since watching your videos for a few years now, I have grown to love the Mennonite culture and find it absolutely fascinating. I love the way you do life and so much about the way you live out your everyday. I have since thought it would be so fun to become friends with a Mennontie family. I myself am a married Pentecostal mom with 2 children. We women wear dresses/skirts and have long hair. We as well come out from among the mainstream. My issue is ..... the Mennonites in our area are so unapproachable. They often will walk past you and never look sideways at you. I have tried smiling and greeting them and they still do not respond. Is this typical for a very conservative Mennonite? I would love to be friends and develop a relationship with some of them, as I find their way of life so interesting. But perhaps this is something that is not acceptable in the culture? Do you have friends you hang out with outside of your culture/religion, as in do you hang out with anyone that is not a Mennonite? Would that be considered bad practice as perhaps we as outsiders would possibly be a bad influence? I'm not meaning to be judgemental of anyone but just very curious. I find the way you live so fascinating. If you could respond that would be so appreciated as I really do want to understand why they are that way.
We can actually see you two growing closer through these videos. So beautiful to see. Have not seen any refugees in our town but go to Mass in the city and see some there. We have so many social service agencies that we don't hear much about things except food drives or drives for winter coats and that type of thing. We had two kids and they are grown and busy in their careers. Watch you because you are a Christian youtuber and there will be no untoward surprises in what I see. Also enjoy learning about your culture and way of life. Enjoy your two weeks in Florida! Say hello to Lynette for me. Watch her too! lol.
Thank you, enjoy these vlogs. Josh, reminds me of my husband, where still waters run deep. Loved what he said about faith and reading the Word. Few words but profound.
Awwwww! That was really sweet...it can be hard to admit stress and anxiety to your partner.. but.to put yourselves out there and be vulnerable on a social platform....thank you. It was honest and made me feel like we are not alone when facing personal challenges....we just need to work through things and see the silver linings. Peace and joy to you and your family in 2022.
i cannot imagine Josh trying to a good job and not having the products/supplies you need to do your job. Life is so tough some times but we do have prayer and God’s guidance to get us through those times. He is so sweet and I’m the same with hospitals. You two make a great team - hope you have a super vacation! ❤️🇨🇦
Hello Megan, as an older Christian woman, a need to correct you on interrupting your husband. Please please please, stop interrupting him. It is our nature to rule over our men, but this is sinful. Love your videos and family and I learn so much! Blessings from Above, Kate
It don't seem natural to me? Its more natural to be a follower as a lady when you're married... was for me anyway... also it's not sinful to have a bad habit. ♡ To be more chatty then your husband doesnt make you ruling over him... just makes you more chatty. Im much more chatty then my husband but he can sure talk when he wants to and I would tend to appear much like Megan :) but my heart has no desire to rule over my husband and I listen and learn from my husband so much... you can't look at people in a video and think you know their hearts or how things are run in their home♡ whether you rule over your husband is a attitude of the heart, not so much your habits or how chatty you are.
@@kindnessmatters4068 Wow someone is triggered. Perhaps @Kathryn Murray's comment hit closer to home than you think. And yes, anyone seeing this one video can very clearly see that by this woman constantly interrupting her husband, it is their normal way of interacting. It is disrespectful to be so dismissive of anyone, let alone your spouse and that has do do with common courtesy not even religious beliefs. If you want or need to be the alpha female like this woman, why must it be done so disrespectfully? So look in the mirror before making your knee jerk comments. I guess preaching kindness is a smokescreen to hide how little you show your spouse or others as demonstrated above.
Wow!! love this discussion on Christian legalism. It’s widespread- not just menonites but this is any many areas of the church. I come from the apostolic holiness church background and there is an awakening on legalism for sure.
Today I saw some Mennonite ladies and said “Hi, I watch Megan Fox!” Lol One girl said she had met you and the other had not heard of you but I’m happy I got to meet them and understand their values because of your channel! :)
Loved this video. Seeing Josh in a whole new light now. I was one of those who thought him very shy and quiet. Now I see him as a good bloke who loves his family, his job, and his faith. // Just curious. As Mennonites, are there any medical procedures (like blood transfusions) that you won't do? Have you had the covid vaccines, or is that outside your beliefs? No judgement, just interested.
I am also Mennonite. In my experience there are no medical procedures that are not permitted as far as a faith conviction. It is a personal decision as to what you will and won’t do. The same goes for the COVID vaccine. There may be some groups that are more resistant to the vaccine just as there are people in the general population who are resistant.
Great to see both of you!! I am a grandma! We had 2 kids, a girl and a boy, and now 6 grandkids! There are a lot of ways to look at the name Mennonite! We have actually decided as a church to drop the name from our church name, even tho theologically that is our belief, but we choose to distance ourselves from the more liberal types like Mennonite USA and their belief systems they are pushing that are no where near to what our anti-baptist beliefs started with. One might think the way we live/dress that we are liberal! But not in theology!!. I have heard of more and more in the Conservative conference dropping the name for the same reason...its a shame but I guess it is what it is-most important is to live our lives for Jesus and hear the words, "Well done!" Blessings to ya guys!!
Josh nailed it even he said if you are with God there is no downside. But at the end of the day the road is narrow and the last thing we want to do is be "well rounded in the world.....
I am always happy to see when you post a new video. I love how honest you are about how you are and your joys and struggles. Also...your baby looks JUST LIKE YOU. I do think he will say Mama first. Have a blessed day!
Thank you for welcoming a new family into your community it’s. No matter the faith humans worldwide need help. You cannot go wrong with real estate! LOVE my husband, I’m newly retired & Mr is retiring in 2 months. The panic has set in as not due to $$$ but having him underfoot is going to be an adjustment.
Truly enjoyed this video .. We have seen you and Josh grow so much together .. Josh does seem to be a wonderful Father .. You and he together are a beautiful team ❣ Miller is beautiful .. He seem to be growing so quickly . It has been so lovely watching your children/family growing ❣
I love these type videos! While I am not a Mennonite, I am a Christian and I truly love getting a glimpse inside your culture. Your family is absolutely precious! Have a great trip! ❤️-Lisa
Great video! I always find your videos relaxing and interesting. I am an atheist with no desire of having kids in the future, so our lives couldn't be more different, but I am always fascinated by other ways of living and cultures. Even if I don't agree with your view on God, I respect it because I think that you are a wonderful, kind and honest human being, which to me is the main important thing. To me, it doesn't matter what is your religion (or no religion) as long as we are kind and respect each other.
I'm a mother of two grown girls and one grandson. I enjoy your channel because I love remembering how it is to have small children at home and I love your cooking videos.
I have a 16 year old daughter and almost 20 years married. This season has been the hardest for us and I feel discouraged more days than not. Thank you for sharing your videos and a glimpse into your life. So nice to see a committed godly couple. Goals for my marriage 🙏
I found your discussion about your religion very interesting!! My religion is very similar to yours. We don't wear head coverings but most everything else is mostly the same. I'm realizing this as I look at you and the other Mennonite RUclipsrs. Thanks for sharing. Edit: you little baby is so adorable!! We have 3 kids too but our oldest is already with Jesus. Thanks for inspiring us with your channel!!
yOUR LAYOUT IN THE RENTAL HOUSE IS SO CUTE. MILLER IS SO CUTE. MEGAN YOU GOT A SMILE OUT OF MILLER. I LOVE THE STAIR CASE IN THE RENTAL HOUSE. ENJOY FLORIDA. ITS 12 INCHES OF SNOW IN OAK LAWN ILLINOIS TODAY. THANKS FOR SHARING
We have an Afghan refugee population here in Rochester, NY. A local organization called Keeping our Promise helps relocate Afghan and Iraqi allies of the American military. They were all employees of the American military, like as interpreters during the war. Lots of churches of multiple faiths help support the organization, and it's great to see Christians, Jews, Muslims, and others coming together to help one another and create a unique community of people. Also regarding kids, I don't have any right now. I always watch you in awe because you seem to do all this stuff and keep all this momentum going... I'm a very sleep-dependent person and worry how having a baby would impact my energy and mental health. A bad night's sleep or an insomnia night really trashes my next day and feels like torture. I always watch you and wonder how you do it all!
Great video. Have fun in Florida! Hope you get to spend time with Lynnette. You gals can talk about kids and rental houses and decorating. Love you both.
A wedding ring makes it clear that a person is married and not avalaible any more. It's a help for others not to cherish any false 'hopes'. Therefore a question of love.
I wouldnt question someones love off of the fact that they don't wear a ring... your attitude and actions toward the oposite sex is what makes it clear you're married or not. I know a ton of people that don't wear rings.
@@kindnessmatters4068 - What I meant is that I think that wearing a wedding ring is first a public commitment of one's own marriage and love to persons outside of this marriage so that they are at first sight able to know that these persons aren't available for any romantic thoughts anymore.
@@Morewecanthink I guess I would view the vows (when meant from the heart) as the public commitment... because I have seen many women that wear a ring act completely unfaithful in public... I don't wear a ring myself and have never had a problem with people wondering if I'm married.
Amen Josh! “Read your Bible, and live your life the way God intends you to.” 🙌🏻
🙏
Yes! I loved the clarity of this testimony!
I agree!! I like hearing him talk about God and obeying Him! We can’t leave Jesus out of why we are living our life! ❤️ inclusive yes! But we need to remember our why (hello pot) 😂
I enjoy hearing from Josh. He doesn’t talk too much, but when he does, his words are meaningful.
Love to see men who are able to confidently speak their commitment to family etc. Thankyou for sharing as always!
I enjoy your you tube channel. You have a beautiful family!

You said you would be talking over Josh in the beginning, and you definitely did. However, it obviously bothered me more than it did Josh. 😂.
Sadly, he has probably just given up on being heard. Disrespectful
You’re on Florida right noooow!!! ☀️ hope you enjoy your trip and this gorgeous weather!!
You guys seem so perfect for each other. Josh seems like a great husband and dad! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
I’m a bit late to watching, but wanted to say how wonderful it was to hear that you’re helping refugees! That’s big on our heart!! ❤️❤️
I’m so glad Josh got off topic and spoke of faith in Jesus.

Children are so worth it and before you know it they are grown up. And then there are grandchildren just as precious.

Agreed. My husband processes slowly but when he speaks it’s worth listening to 💙 I noticed that about Megan because I have a tendency to do the same.
It's her channel, so she has to guide the conversation for her viewers.
Fellow extrovert married to a quiet husband!
From what I see of Josh, I think he could handle 10 kids all by himself. 😊 You both do a great job.
Hey Megan I love how honest you two are to us and each other! I can very much so relate on so many of these topics! You two are so cute and funny together. Jesus knew what he was doing when he joined you two together. And btw your newborn baby is so so cute as well as the rest of your children!

My husband has been self employed for 15 years and he owns his own business with handyman/refrigeration. There are positive sides and negative sides but always has the positive out weighed the negative. Jesus bless you and your beautiful family. ❤️❤️🙏
I really enjoyed this video. It's really interesting to watch couples talk and interact. Josh seems gentle and patient, his words have meaning. I wish I was like that, not talking until I really had something to say. X
I love your honesty and transparency. My husband and I have been married for 6 years and have a 3 yo, 1.5 yo and expecting #3 any day now! We live in mid-Maine and we don’t see really any refugees. I don’t know if it is too cold or what, but there are plenty of unsaved people everywhere that we can all be “backyard missionaries”. Obviously that doesn’t discount the international missionaries and their amazing and important work, but God will open our eyes to opportunities to share His love close to home if we allow Him to!
You new baby, Miller, is adorable!!
Yes, agreed! 👍 🙌
So fun! Love hearing more about both of you and seeing Miller. He’s so cute!
Great video.
We are supper blessed to have husbands who choose to love us and do the good and rough days with us.
My husband and I are married 20 yrs we have 4 children 19, 17, 13 and almost 8. My husband was/is so involved with all the things with our children.
Life has thrown a different twist at us and my mother who has dementia is living with us. He has embraced her and this life like a wonder man.
Again, we are beyond blessed.
I love how Miller is listening to you guys talk and smiling away
Awwwww. Baby Miller is so precious! 😘
So thankful God led me to your channel. What a blessing. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I have 4 and a half hours to myself today and I'm celebrating by working on some knotty decluttering that I wanted to do with no interruptions. Our kids are ages 7 to 21. We are dairy farmers, so someone is always coming or going.
Great video! I mean, they all are, but this one was exceptional!😊
I'm probably one of your few subscribers who doesn't have kids (and never wanted any), but I still enjoy watching your little family. You have such a kind and welcoming soul. It was very nice to hear Josh's input in this video.
The beginning really felt like you bribed him into this with the desert :)
This was so sweet. Josh is awesome. Can't wait to see Florida videos. Love the Fox family.
I always love your videos Megan and look forward to each Thursday you post. I especially love the Q&A's you and Josh do together - they are like a bonus. You both are so sweet! Since you brought up the Mennonite culture in this video - I do have a question that perhaps you could/would address in another video chat of yours. I live in a small province in Canada and we in the last 4 or 5 years have had an influx of Mennonite families move into our area. If I were to guess, I would say they would be more conservative than your family perhaps. They wear the traditional dress to the ankle, the Mennonite cap, etc ... This leads me to my question .... Since watching your videos for a few years now, I have grown to love the Mennonite culture and find it absolutely fascinating. I love the way you do life and so much about the way you live out your everyday. I have since thought it would be so fun to become friends with a Mennontie family. I myself am a married Pentecostal mom with 2 children. We women wear dresses/skirts and have long hair. We as well come out from among the mainstream. My issue is ..... the Mennonites in our area are so unapproachable. They often will walk past you and never look sideways at you. I have tried smiling and greeting them and they still do not respond. Is this typical for a very conservative Mennonite? I would love to be friends and develop a relationship with some of them, as I find their way of life so interesting. But perhaps this is something that is not acceptable in the culture? Do you have friends you hang out with outside of your culture/religion, as in do you hang out with anyone that is not a Mennonite? Would that be considered bad practice as perhaps we as outsiders would possibly be a bad influence? I'm not meaning to be judgemental of anyone but just very curious. I find the way you live so fascinating. If you could respond that would be so appreciated as I really do want to understand why they are that way.
Enjoy every stage of your lives and the kids because before you know it that stage will be gone. Love the smile Miller.
We can actually see you two growing closer through these videos. So beautiful to see. Have not seen any refugees in our town but go to Mass in the city and see some there. We have so many social service agencies that we don't hear much about things except food drives or drives for winter coats and that type of thing. We had two kids and they are grown and busy in their careers. Watch you because you are a Christian youtuber and there will be no untoward surprises in what I see. Also enjoy learning about your culture and way of life. Enjoy your two weeks in Florida! Say hello to Lynette for me. Watch her too! lol.
Thank you, enjoy these vlogs. Josh, reminds me of my husband, where still waters run deep. Loved what he said about faith and reading the Word. Few words but profound.
Awwwww! That was really sweet...it can be hard to admit stress and anxiety to your partner.. but.to put yourselves out there and be vulnerable on a social platform....thank you. It was honest and made me feel like we are not alone when facing personal challenges....we just need to work through things and see the silver linings. Peace and joy to you and your family in 2022.
We live in Sarasota! We just moved here last year and we love it! Have fun!! The weather is nice now 😁
Shhhhh... his turn to talk
So blessed I found your channel. I enjoy watching so very, very much.
Miller looks just like momma. You and Josh are so positive and cute together. Great video and have a great vacation.
i cannot imagine Josh trying to a good job and not having the products/supplies you need to do your job. Life is so tough some times but we do have prayer and God’s guidance to get us through those times. He is so sweet and I’m the same with hospitals. You two make a great team - hope you have a super vacation! ❤️🇨🇦
Please let him talk
I love that you are helping refugees! My family and I have been helping Afghan refugees as well.
Hello Megan, as an older Christian woman, a need to correct you on interrupting your husband. Please please please, stop interrupting him. It is our nature to rule over our men, but this is sinful.
Love your videos and family and I learn so much!
Blessings from Above, Kate
It don't seem natural to me? Its more natural to be a follower as a lady when you're married... was for me anyway... also it's not sinful to have a bad habit. ♡
To be more chatty then your husband doesnt make you ruling over him... just makes you more chatty. Im much more chatty then my husband but he can sure talk when he wants to and I would tend to appear much like Megan :) but my heart has no desire to rule over my husband and I listen and learn from my husband so much... you can't look at people in a video and think you know their hearts or how things are run in their home♡ whether you rule over your husband is a attitude of the heart, not so much your habits or how chatty you are.
@@kindnessmatters4068 Wow someone is triggered. Perhaps @Kathryn Murray's comment hit closer to home than you think. And yes, anyone seeing this one video can very clearly see that by this woman constantly interrupting her husband, it is their normal way of interacting. It is disrespectful to be so dismissive of anyone, let alone your spouse and that has do do with common courtesy not even religious beliefs. If you want or need to be the alpha female like this woman, why must it be done so disrespectfully? So look in the mirror before making your knee jerk comments. I guess preaching kindness is a smokescreen to hide how little you show your spouse or others as demonstrated above.
Wow!! love this discussion on Christian legalism. It’s widespread- not just menonites but this is any many areas of the church. I come from the apostolic holiness church background and there is an awakening on legalism for sure.
I love your chatty videos with Josh! You're a great duo!
Today I saw some Mennonite ladies and said “Hi, I watch Megan Fox!” Lol One girl said she had met you and the other had not heard of you but I’m happy I got to meet them and understand their values because of your channel! :)
Loved this video. Seeing Josh in a whole new light now. I was one of those who thought him very shy and quiet. Now I see him as a good bloke who loves his family, his job, and his faith. // Just curious. As Mennonites, are there any medical procedures (like blood transfusions) that you won't do? Have you had the covid vaccines, or is that outside your beliefs? No judgement, just interested.
I am also Mennonite. In my experience there are no medical procedures that are not permitted as far as a faith conviction. It is a personal decision as to what you will and won’t do. The same goes for the COVID vaccine. There may be some groups that are more resistant to the vaccine just as there are people in the general population who are resistant.
Miller is soo beautiful! Love that smile and the look on his face was so funny!
You talk over him I want to hear josh talk :(
what a beautiful family you have! i really love and appreciate the content. hope your trip has been a blast! God bless you and your family ❤️
Momma of one 18 month old boy here! Love your content Megan, it’s so encouraging.
Great to see both of you!! I am a grandma! We had 2 kids, a girl and a boy, and now 6 grandkids! There are a lot of ways to look at the name Mennonite! We have actually decided as a church to drop the name from our church name, even tho theologically that is our belief, but we choose to distance ourselves from the more liberal types like Mennonite USA and their belief systems they are pushing that are no where near to what our anti-baptist beliefs started with. One might think the way we live/dress that we are liberal! But not in theology!!. I have heard of more and more in the Conservative conference dropping the name for the same reason...its a shame but I guess it is what it is-most important is to live our lives for Jesus and hear the words, "Well done!" Blessings to ya guys!!
Josh nailed it even he said if you are with God there is no downside. But at the end of the day the road is narrow and the last thing we want to do is be "well rounded in the world.....
I love Josh kissing baby Miller! How precious! And the kiddos outside on the swing, eating snow, and the doggy! ❤️
Thank you for helping that refugee family!!! ❤️❤️
I am always happy to see when you post a new video. I love how honest you are about how you are and your joys and struggles. Also...your baby looks JUST LIKE YOU. I do think he will say Mama first. Have a blessed day!
Thank you for welcoming a new family into your community it’s. No matter the faith humans worldwide need help. You cannot go wrong with real estate! LOVE my husband, I’m newly retired & Mr is retiring in 2 months. The panic has set in as not due to $$$ but having him underfoot is going to be an adjustment.
Truly enjoyed this video .. We have seen you and Josh grow so much together .. Josh does seem to be a wonderful Father .. You and he together are a beautiful team ❣ Miller is beautiful .. He seem to be growing so quickly . It has been so lovely watching your children/family growing ❣
Thanks for the insight in this video although would have been nice to hear more from Josh and his perspective
🦋Josh that is wonderful you are able to help
that family.
I love Josh! He just makes my heart smile!
I ENJOY watching your channel! You both are a wonderful testimony to living your true self. God is AWESOME all the time! Thank you for sharing
I love these type videos! While I am not a Mennonite, I am a Christian and I truly love getting a glimpse inside your culture. Your family is absolutely precious! Have a great trip! ❤️-Lisa
When I saw the fire in the first scenes, I had tears in my eyes. You finally did it!
Yes I was so happy!!!
Great video! I always find your videos relaxing and interesting. I am an atheist with no desire of having kids in the future, so our lives couldn't be more different, but I am always fascinated by other ways of living and cultures. Even if I don't agree with your view on God, I respect it because I think that you are a wonderful, kind and honest human being, which to me is the main important thing. To me, it doesn't matter what is your religion (or no religion) as long as we are kind and respect each other.
I'm a mother of two grown girls and one grandson. I enjoy your channel because I love remembering how it is to have small children at home and I love your cooking videos.
I have a 16 year old daughter and almost 20 years married. This season has been the hardest for us and I feel discouraged more days than not. Thank you for sharing your videos and a glimpse into your life. So nice to see a committed godly couple. Goals for my marriage 🙏
I think it so wonderful the work your husband is doing to be missionaries right here in America. I love both of your spirits and love for Jesus.
Thank you for helping the refuge family ❤️
I found your discussion about your religion very interesting!! My religion is very similar to yours. We don't wear head coverings but most everything else is mostly the same. I'm realizing this as I look at you and the other Mennonite RUclipsrs. Thanks for sharing.
Edit: you little baby is so adorable!!
We have 3 kids too but our oldest is already with Jesus. Thanks for inspiring us with your channel!!
yOUR LAYOUT IN THE RENTAL HOUSE IS SO CUTE. MILLER IS SO CUTE. MEGAN YOU GOT A SMILE OUT OF MILLER. I LOVE THE STAIR CASE IN THE RENTAL HOUSE. ENJOY FLORIDA. ITS 12 INCHES OF SNOW IN OAK LAWN ILLINOIS TODAY. THANKS FOR SHARING
We have an Afghan refugee population here in Rochester, NY. A local organization called Keeping our Promise helps relocate Afghan and Iraqi allies of the American military. They were all employees of the American military, like as interpreters during the war. Lots of churches of multiple faiths help support the organization, and it's great to see Christians, Jews, Muslims, and others coming together to help one another and create a unique community of people.
Also regarding kids, I don't have any right now. I always watch you in awe because you seem to do all this stuff and keep all this momentum going... I'm a very sleep-dependent person and worry how having a baby would impact my energy and mental health. A bad night's sleep or an insomnia night really trashes my next day and feels like torture. I always watch you and wonder how you do it all!
Love love love this video! You guys are so perfect for each other. I loved the way you guys spoke about everything .
Great video. Have fun in Florida! Hope you get to spend time with Lynnette. You gals can talk about kids and rental houses and decorating. Love you both.
A wedding ring makes it clear that a person is married and not avalaible any more. It's a help for others not to cherish any false 'hopes'. Therefore a question of love.
I wouldnt question someones love off of the fact that they don't wear a ring... your attitude and actions toward the oposite sex is what makes it clear you're married or not. I know a ton of people that don't wear rings.
@@kindnessmatters4068 - What I meant is that I think that wearing a wedding ring is first a public commitment of one's own marriage and love to persons outside of this marriage so that they are at first sight able to know that these persons aren't available for any romantic thoughts anymore.
@@Morewecanthink I guess I would view the vows (when meant from the heart) as the public commitment... because I have seen many women that wear a ring act completely unfaithful in public... I don't wear a ring myself and have never had a problem with people wondering if I'm married.
Miller’s smile is the sweetest!😍
