Episode 258 // Prayer is the centerpiece of Christian life. But it’s easy to spend too much time on the day-to-day little things and miss out on praying for the deeper, richer priorities of life.
Today’s psalm will help us get back on track. We’ll take a look at Psalm 139 and consider together how our prayer lives for our family can focus on the biblical truths of what our families need.
This is part of our Summertime in the Psalms series, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Let’s jump in.

Episode 257 // “But I cry to you for help, LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you. Why, LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?” Psalm 88:13-14.
Not an easy prayer. But this psalm is so REAL for us. We’ve all had these seasons, where we are desperate for the Lord’s help and yet we feel like He is absent and ignoring us.
He’s not ignoring you, friend. He’s not absent.
Join me today for a short devotional looking at these verses for a moment of biblical encouragement in our hardest seasons. This is part of our Summertime in the Psalms series, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Episode 256 // We’re diving into the Psalms for the month of July, and starting right at the beginning today! Psalm 1 is such a helpful reality check for each of us - for our own lives, but also for our responsibility as moms.
Summer can bring a lot of fun and freedom… so perhaps it’s even more important to be intentional and biblically-minded about how we are allowing ourselves and our children to be influenced.
Join me for a short devotional in Psalm 1 today, for biblical encouragement and some real-life wisdom from God’s Word.

Episode 251 // Can you enjoy a healthy, happy, and holy family life without serving one another out of love?
The idea of serving others is counter-cultural. We think it won’t feel good, it will feel hard, we might get taken advantage of… Yet, this is how Jesus calls on Christians to show their love for each other!
And no one serves others more than a mom. It’s what we’re famous for! It’s important, even though it is sometimes taken for granted. It is meaningful, even though we sometimes may grumble about it.
So today on the podcast, let’s find encouragement together by considering 5 things that a servant does. How can we do those things in our home, with a godly attitude, for the good of our families and the glory of God?
Plus, one important warning for us all… to make sure we are healthy right alongside our families.
Ready? Let’s dive in, friend.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 250 // It’s a cliche in Christian circles… “I should read the Bible more.” Or maybe, “I wish I read the Bible more.” Sometimes we beat ourselves up about it: “Gosh, why can’t I seem to regularly read my Bible?!”
It’s a thing many of us wish to be more consistent with. So why aren’t we? Does it really matter anyway? How could we get things moving in a direction we’re happy with?
Let’s go there.
Today, those are exactly the questions we’re covering. Make sure to stick around to the end for some really practical tips that will help address the biggest struggles we all have with reading our Bible regularly.

Deepen your Christian walk with the Finding Your Identity In Christ devotional workbook!
Episode 249 // It’s easy to get caught up in the flow of everyday life. But do you realize that there is an Enemy at war against you? At war against your family?
As Christians, we often think about the power of Jesus Christ in our lives and we pray for the Holy Spirit’s help as we struggle, grow, and journey through life. And the Bible is clear that these things are true and good.
But the Bible is also clear that we must be careful, alert, sober-minded, and intentional in how we live - because “your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
If you find yourself struggling against things like distraction, family conflict, big emotions, or other common worldy issues today - there is something bigger going on, and there is something that the Lord wants you to do about it!
Join me today, friends, for biblical encouragement along with some practical tips to keep the Lord first in our lives and to care for our families well.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
