Loving your in-laws when you just aren’t on the same page (during the holidays, or any other time of the year!)

Episode 105 // Relationships with the in-laws can be tricky. There is often a lot of baggage and emotion in these parts of the Christian family experience, and it can be really difficult to navigate these relationships well!
 
Whether you love your in-laws or tolerate them, you have certainly had moments when you disagreed with them. When you just weren’t quite on the same page. And this often doesn’t just stay in that in-law relationship, but goes on to create tension in your marriage.
 
Today, we’re looking at some practical tips for handling these in-law dynamics in a biblical way that also strengthens your marriage and improves family life.
 
Let’s dive in.
 
hugs & blessings, 
Jess

(F3) Caring for yourself as a busy Christian mom living in a broken world

Episode 104.5 // Friday Faith Followup
 
It can sometimes be a lot easier to pour our love, energy, and effort into our kids rather than taking time to care for ourselves. Parenting is work! It calls us to step up and put our children’s needs above our own. 
 
But parenting is hard. Life can be discouraging. And as we seek to be biblically grounded parents, teaching our children how to follow Jesus (along with everything else!) we can struggle with the weight of the brokenness in the world. 
 
We cannot love our children well without making the effort to take care of ourselves first. Let’s consider together why that matters, how we can do it, and find encouragement in the One we are serving along the way.
 
hugs & blessings,
Jess

How to biblically parent your children in a broken world

Episode 104 // We all know that we live in a broken world. And while we want to protect our children from all of the sin, pain, and hardship, the simple reality is that… we can’t. 
 
Good parenting is hard, and it takes hard, intentional work. And to be a biblical parent, raising our kids to know Jesus, we need to prepare them not only for the joy of following Christ but also prepare them for the hard realities of this life. 
 
How do we guide our children through the brokenness of the world? How do we deal with it ourselves?
 
That’s what we’re tackling today, my friend, so that you can lead your Christian family through the good and the bad of everyday life. 
 
Let’s dive in.
 
hugs & blessings, 
Jess
