I’m a Muslim housewife and homeschooling Mom and I love your channels as well as other Mennonite moms’ channels. We have more similarities than differences. Thank you for all the great content and sharing!

I love how assertive Jayna is. She has an air of certainty about herself and it is very impactful.

You worded that so well! I started a comment towards Jayna and deleted it because I couldn't find the right words. I 100% agree. Both of these women are amazing, I have really been enjoying Jayna!

I absolutely watch people I don’t always agree with. I am unmarried (wedding in September), have no kids, work full time plus extra, and don’t have religion as a high priority, but love watching your videos because it is RELATABLE in certain ways. On paper, it doesn’t make sense to watch your videos, but in the land of KZread, it’s refreshing to listen to ladies with strong values and live their life in a way that is relatable (not focused on materialism, strong family values, always down for an adventure). Every Thursday I always watch your videos while on my lunch break.

Christians actually aren’t religious either.. I’m not religious but I am in a relationship! There’s a huge difference! The next time a “Christian” talks to you and tells you they are, ask how often they read their Bible bc 9/10 they don’t and those are the false Christians

I'm someone who grew up in the modern US non-religious culture, and I'm finding myself becoming more traditional over time and wishing things like modesty and respect were prioritized by more people.

I’m a believer in Jesus, pastors wife & mom to 5, grandmother to 4 - we don’t share all the same beliefs but I do enjoy your videos. They are wholesome & fun & I love how you honor God, your husband and motherhood. I have unfollowed many people when I realize there is a huge belief difference but not out of judgment. It’s just that I know what’s healthy for my heart & mind. Thanks for putting the good stuff out there ❤️

The banner looks MUCH BETTER now!😉😊

Important note: therapy and mentorship are not interchangeable. This is important because there have been known cases of people who were not therapists who may have even had good intentions, but didn’t have the tools to create a healthy, professional therapeutic relationship leading to harm to themselves and the person.

When we had our oldest, 11 years ago, we were so poor too. On paper it didn’t work out for me to stay home and so we agreed I would stay home for 6 months (all that our savings would allow) but by Gods grace that 6 months turned to a year and then 11 😂❤️ It’s nice seeing His hand in things!

100% would love to hear more in-depth about Mennonites and money. I grew up in NE Indiana, within miles of Mennonites as well as Amish communities. Many Amish families seemed to own bakeries, cabinetry companies, etc. that we would use/ shop at. But just as most Mennonites "blend in" more than Amish, their businesses weren't as obvious. Do Mennonites usually own businesses like that as opposed to working for larger corporations? Also, do Mennonites refer to others as "English" like Amish people do? Also would love to hear more about different branches (or as you said conferences) of being Mennonite and how/why you decide what church to go to.

I’m also interested in a video about different Mennonite groups. I also grew up with Mennonites in my community & they were definitely more strict than Megan’s sect. My friend had to wear full length skirts and was not allowed to cut her hair and I remember her telling me that she didn’t cover her hair because she wasn’t married (in her church married women covered their hair and married men had beards but single men could not). I always thought all mennonites had the same guidelines 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jayna needs her own channel! I just love her perspective on things, it very much lines up with my own. Love these girl talks.

after hearing how difficult it was for you guys financially it makes my heart at ease not that it was a good thing but that i dont need to worry much. Everything in the end, does work well. PLEASE DO AN EPISODE ABOUT MONEY AND MENNOTIES. Would be very interesting to hear

I am an atheist who works full time as a research scientist and although I have been married for a while, I also have no desire for kids or becoming a homemaker. This probably sounds like the definition of someone who would be the least likely to watch your videos but I truly do enjoy them :) I personally believe it’s very important to watch, listen, and empathize with people who have different walks of life and beliefs. Just because we might not agree on some things doesn’t mean we can’t respect each other and be kind. You’d be surprised what people actually have in common in terms of personality, interests, etc if we took the time to get to know one another. I find your channel to be very refreshing. You’re someone who actually walks in her faith, is humble, kind, empathetic, hardworking, and follows her dreams. You say what you believe and feel in a non condescending way and I truly enjoy listening to you two talk about your lives and faith. Also, I totally agree that it is unfortunate that doctors use medicine as a fix all rather than looking for the root of the problem. You are your best advocate, so always question everything! -Your friendly neighborhood scientist

I will follow who believe differently up to a point. Some things are non negotiable for me since I’m actively choosing to fill some of my time with it.

That's exactly how I feel about it too! I will follow people that I don't agree with especially if there content is something that we have in common! But if there content is all about things that we completely disagree on I probably won't spend a lot of time watching that or follow them 🤷‍♀️ I would not unfollow someone who's content I enjoy and is relevant to me just because they don't vote the same as me or have a different stance then I do on something.

"...I was definitely more excited to snuggle babies than wash dishes." LOL I'm with you -- baby snuggles are the best! =)

When my husband and I got married 13 years ago we were also dirt poor after buying our first home. It was so bad at times I would get anxiety about thinking if he would want to talk about finances when he came home. As time went on we were much better off and now I am able to stay home with our 2 kids. In our situation the math never made sense as well as how ends were met and we always had just enough. Looking back I now know it was all God making the ends meet. Whenever we thought we were short something random always managed to come by that met that gap for us which was all God!

I love this podcast and I would definitely welcome longer episodes! I watched while I prepared and ate my lunch, and I didn’t want it to end 💞

Love these episodes with Jayna so much! 🙌🏽

I love these episodes!!! Please don’t ever stop doing them! They are so entertaining and challenging and my favorite to watch!

I follow people who are different from me to enrich my life. I love seeing things from new angles. And I follow you because you are down to earth honest.

I don't do everything you do and I do somethings that you don't do..... so, I try to follow people that uplift me the majority of the time. I enjoy being around people that help support me in becoming the best version of myself!!! Keep up the good work!

Hi Megan and Jayna, just wanted to let you know that this series and the couples Q&A series are my favorite to watch so please keep making them. Appreciate all of your hard work.

I am a homeschool mom and completely agree… there’s pros and cons to every choice. We only have public school options in our small town which is not the best choice for us so homeschool is the best fit!

I love it that you turned the sign horizontal!! Very, very good episode. Thank you for being so real. :-)

Loved this video. You girls are authentic and honest. I love learning about other cultures, traditions etc. and when they are explained it's easier to understand. Each generation brings about changes and hopefully the changes are for the betterment of our society. Looking forward to more videos!!

I am loving this series so much! I don't want it to end ☺️

Good question Megan. If majority of it is good I stay. There is always something we don’t like. But if it causes to much stress it’s natural to leave.

I like to watch/follow a variety of people. It's about being a complete person and not one dimensional. I am enjoying the two of you as you talk and interact.

THANK YOU for turning it! 😆 I just relaxed. 🤣

I appreciated bringing awareness to "dirt floor poor." I think many stay-at-home moms insist that others really could live on one income, they are just used to spending too much, etc. But when we had my firstborn, my husband worked full time and I worked part time from home and even still, we barely paid our bills. I used pre-fold cloth diapers for several months because I literally couldn't afford diapers. I'm now expecting my second child and my husband makes more than double what he made back then and we have more financial freedom. But sometimes it really takes every penny of 2 incomes to make ends meet.

I look forward to this video ALL WEEK!!!!! LOVE you girls!💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜

Love this series! Not a Mennonite (but a Christian) and just really enjoy hearing your opinions. Keep it going, gals!

These mom chat series are so amazing!! They are definitely my favorite content to watch!! 😊💕

23:05 as a non-Christian, I love these videos/chats. I don't feel the least bit "offended" by you just sharing your unique perspective. I think a lot of the topics are applicable outside of religion, but I like hearing how your faith does influence them! edit: 29:25 I follow people of many ideologies, I think our political values would be very different and that's ok... we come to the table with varying reasons for our opinions.

Ladies you are wise beyond your years! Great job!

Yes, would love to hear about your high school years and early jobs; so interesting!

PLEASE CONTINUE THIS!! I LOVE IT!!

Marriage counseling was the best thing - we weren’t at breaking point we just learned how to communicate with each other better and yes if you need your Zoloft take your Zoloft!

Great discussion ladies😀❤I enjoy your views. My kids are all grown up now, but it’s refreshing to hear you talk about homemaking. I was a homemaker and still am😊

Would love to hear more about Mennonites and money. Love that you do this!

Great video ladies! Your honesty, humility, and vulnerability is so encouraging. I'm really enjoying your channel. God Bless😊

Thank you for all the time and effort you both put into this series. I hope you continue to do it. I love hearing your chats, they are often a balm to this mom who feels alone (outside of our little family) in my beliefs and desires.

I absolutely follow you for longer than any other youtuber because we are so different from me. I learn so much from your lifestyle and enjoy your videos so much. I would never unsubscribe. I googled "What is a Mennonite" and your channel came up. I am grateful.

I love this new series as a woman currently trying for kids its nice to feel a little sense of community.

Please keep this up, I love it. You could have fall tips, Thanksgiving tips, Christmas tips, you can keep going! Love the both of you!

Love this series and would love to hear more, no matter the topic!

All the “should we talk about that more” topics… I want to hear more!! Money, dating, different types of Mennonite/church beliefs. Yes yes yes

Thank you thank you thank you for this!!! This is the best series and you two are like best friends to all of us! 😊❤️

I think it's important to follow people with different opinions. I know I have some different believes to you, but there's so much good I get from your videos. Honey I'm Homemaker is a great series. Thank you for the content!

I love your content and your channel. It’s clean and so refreshing. I watched 2 of your videos today and feel a lot more relaxed. Thank you, it feels like I just got encouraged from a friend.

you guys are getting better and better! love it!!!

I love the blending balance of your personalities. You rock the friendship connection which makes it informative, interesting & fun.😊🙏

Cleaning my kitchen as I listen! Thank you! 💜

I love the Homemaker series!! ♡

I'm so excited to watch the two of you, love this show, and my son is 25! I love that you changed the sign, it looks better!

Definitely watching this while I clean keeps me motivated 🥰🥰

As always, loved yours and Jayne’s conversation! I am interested in any topics you want to share. It’s interesting to hear other thoughts on a topic and I always learn something. I find many of the you tube channels I follow are people from other parts of the country, Mennonites and Mormons from Utah. I have been and will always be an Italian American New Yorker Roman Catholic living in South Florida. But I get along with all kinds of people. It’s interesting to hear other perspectives and see other ways of life. There is always something to learn. There are so many nice and kind people around the world.

That was one of my favorite talks. You guys say such positive things and so true too! Yay for the banner being hung correctly 😂

I love these talks! I love seeing the common experience and differences as well. I do follow people who do not 100% align with my views or beliefs. I feel I learn the truth about cultures and life in general instead of what “I hear” (which is wrong more often than not). Not everyone is going to be on the same page as me and that’s what makes us all beautiful and unique. Also, I’d love knowing more about finances (o think it could help so many) and please keep these talks going. I was one the lost myself and I feel very encouraged to dive back into the things I forgot made me unique and fulfilled…..now as a mom and wife.

Love this channel so much! I just became a stay at home mom this week and have been blessed by your tips!

Jayna is adorable! I love her true conservative Mennonite ways !

I follow people for specific reasons. I do not unfollow when I disagree on certain topics. I don’t like when channels hold their tongues for the sake of keeping followers but I do respect taking time to be thoughtful and compassionate when addressing issues. I love learning from people with different perspectives.

Yes on the detailed modesty video and on the money video!

The banner!! Oh my word MUCH BETTER! Lol 😆

I follow a variety of people. I love hearing different perspectives. I have never unfollowed anyone.

Yes, scrib'd...love it!!

THANK YOU!!! I have not even watched the video but I see you moved the sign to make it horizontal. THANK YOU!!!

I found your channel right around the time my son was born 2.5 yrs ago and I can't tell you how encouraging it's been as a new mom. I will say that burn out for me has been hard because community is hard to find in our area. We switched churches last summer and while everyone has been super welcoming and sweet, we still haven't found many friends with kids/similar seasons of life.

I watch people that have different beliefs all the time! It helps me gain life perspectives I wouldn't otherwise have in my own bubble. Also, I appreciate that even though you share your life convictions, I have never once felt any disdain for others in your tone. I can almost guarantee you and I have different beliefs on some certain social issues, but your channel remains inviting. As an agnostic who has experienced some hurt in faith-based spaces, the way you carry yourself is actually one of a few reasons I've considered exploring religion again!

I Love this series, i watch last week everyday for a new honey i'm a homemaker video, Good job ladies 🥰

You ladies are so inspirational🙌 thank you for starting this!! 💞

Keep this up! Love love love this!

I look forward to you guys doing these!! I hope there are plenty more to come!!

I love listening to your podcast while I clean or game. its just a really relaxing or escape for me.

I’m here for feisty Megan 😂. I do believe that people are trying to stir the pot when they ask political questions. Good for you for standing your ground! I’d love to hear your thoughts on Mennonites and money. Where I live, there are a lot of wealthy Mennonites who have no college degrees, and many never finished high school. So I think we may have some of the same thoughts.

You’re such a great pair to listen to! Thanks for sharing your hearts so honestly and keep it up 💛

I love Jayna. She definitely needs her own channel

Oh my!!do you know how much this video warmed my heart!!??💕thank you!!💖💖

Thank you for your take on homeschooling. It was so helpful to know that I am not alone feeling that I am not cut out for homeschooling. I will homeschool if it is that or public school. But I felt affirmed and encouraged.

Hi Ladies! Thank you so much for sharing your hearts and minds with the world! This take guts and I am so grateful to listen and learn from you both! To answer your question: I actually love following people who think differently than I do! I would describe myself as being very liberal minded. I am a proud full time working mom (and love it), I do not believe in a specific religion or god, and feel strongly that love is love. I also love being a mama, learning about how to be a better home manager, dress more modestly than not, and love cooking for my family every night! I have been tuning into your videos for I think 3/4 years now Megan and I think of you as a virtual friend haha! Over the years there have been things you have done or said that I "didn't agree with" and some of them did make me feel a little uncomfortable. However! I think it is SOOOO important to truly listen to others, absorb what they are saying, listen to the reasoning behind their words and to honor their choices and opinions. Everyone has VERY different lived experiences that shape their thoughts, beliefs, and opinions and those are all valid!! I think the last few years have been very intense and have tended to polarize beliefs, putting people automatically in boxes for who they vote for or what they stand for. BUT humans are complicated, multilayered, and beautiful! I truly feel that surrounding yourself with people who think differently than you do ( in person, podcasts, KZread videos, Instagram, community groups etc) makes someone more well rounded and the best version of themselves! It can be challenging and uncomfortable at times but growth comes from being pushed out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself :) You are by far my favorite account on KZread and I look forward to your videos every week! Thank you for being yourselves!!! Keep being awesome :D

That was a great question about unfollowing someone! I would not unfollow someone or not follow someone just based on what they believe. For example, I'm not a Mennonite but I am a Christian. While we may differ on some things, I find your conversations/channels refreshing and loaded with great content and encouragement!

I love your Monday chats! I look forward to them. I enjoy watching how people live differently from me. I am a Christian, but not Mennonite. We have several differences and many similarities too!

You are both a delight-love your content!

I love Scribd!! I’ve been using it for almost a year.

I enjoy your content because I find it relatable at times for motherhood. And I find the Mennonite community interesting and like to learn more. That being said I know for a fact we are not on the same page when it comes to most things such as politics and such. But still enjoy watching.

Yes!!! The sign is awesome and looks great!!!

I think it enriches our lives to be open to new and different ideas!! You ladies inspire my thoughts and actions as you share your day and life philosophies/spirituality, thankyou!! XKylie

I'm really enjoying this series. Great information and interesting topics. TFS

Thank you for another video. Interesting to see your views and ideas. Looking forward to the next one!

Hi ladies! I always enjoy your videos! I am not quick to unsubscribe or unfollow but yes I have when I don’t feel in line with the others beliefs and or opinions or when they are not being humble when they’re so fortunate. I love that you are strong and secure in your values and beliefs. Kindness goes a long way with me and my decisions.

Yes to an episode about high school and dating days!

I love the idea of mentors. Therapy may also be good but in life we often need ongoing support from someone in our community rather than someone who doesnt really know you and you just see for a bit. Also love what Jayna was saying about being modest yet not hiding that you are a woman. Thanks so much for sharing your opinions ladies!

I love following people I don't agree with. It's very educational and helps me try to understand their perspective. It keeps me from being narrow minded I would like to think.

Hello girls, I'm a married Roman-Catholic, French, city-living, working-full-time-mum, and I love watching your videos, although I definitely not relate to a lot of what you two do! And yet, I find there are so many similarities between the three of us !

I enjoyed this episode! I see young mom’s struggling to keep up with their household (especially the ones that don’t have family close by or community) and I have vowed that our only daughter (after four boys) will be less tied to a paid job as a teen so that she can help mother’s in need of a maid. I helped my aunt a few summers and it was so good for me! Keep standing for truth and spread His love here on this platform!

Thank you for your videos I always look forward to them. They give me so much inspiration as a new KZreadr 💕

I so look forward to these videos. I don’t have Instagram, but I’m a follower at heart ❤️ 😂 I follow you on KZread because of your differences and open acceptance of each person’s journey. I am a Roman Catholic, but I find more “issues” with some who shares my Faith in their righteousness indignation and judgement of others, than I do EVER in the differences that we may have…. And you hit the nail on the head…. It is what is in the heart as Truth and Love that is the important thing…Not the “looks”. I do agree. Also, it was so fun for me to hear you say what my Grandmother told us, basically, you can live in the world, as it is a gift from God, but “be not of the world”…. It made me smile, that once again, so different..NOT so different. God bless you both! I love these chats! As I listen while I do household chores ❤️🙏🏻

Love listening to your discussions
