What’s your priority as a Christian mom? A wake-up call from Psalm 49.

Episode 125 // Summertime in the Psalms series
 
What are your priorities, mama?
 
Okay, I know you’re going to say that your priorities are faith, family, and a few other good things. That’s awesome. 
 
But would your daily decisions show me that these are your priorities? If I looked at your weekly screen time, your bank account, or your family calendar, what might I think your Christian family values really are?
 
Today, we’re jumping back into our Summertime in the Psalms series with a big wake-up call. Psalm 49 helps us see what our priorities should be… and we can ask ourselves if our Christian family values really do line up there. 
 
Ready? Let’s dive in.
 
hugs & blessings, 
Jess

6 Small Things You Can Do TODAY As A Christian Mom To Build Healthy Family Relationships

Episode 122.5 // Friday Faith Followup
 
One of the quickest places where moms get stuck in the problem-solving process is in the step of brainstorming ideas for what to do differently. 
 
You might quickly identify what’s wrong and what you want to be different. But if you jump straight to trying a random idea, it’s unlikely to work super well. It’s much more helpful to walk through the process that we talked about in our last episode, so that your action plan is made for YOUR family and the unique situation you’re in.
 
But coming up with ideas of what to try can feel tricky. 
 
So today, I want to jump start that process for you. I’ll share 6 small things that you can do TODAY (and every day) that will boost your family relationships
 
No matter what problem you might be facing, these ideas will be helpful. And they’re really just a jumping off point! 
 
Grab my free e-book for deeper help in problem-solving the things that are getting in the way of building healthy family relationships. You’ll get lots of support there with brainstorming (and really, with the whole process). But today, let’s get a few quick ideas out there.
 
Ready to get started? Let’s dive in.
 
hugs & blessings, 
Jess

Want To Boost Family Intimacy In Your Christian Home? Put God First.

Episode 121.5 // Friday Faith Followup
 
Mama, you cannot pour from an empty cup. 
 
I know that you’ve heard that phrase before. It might feel cliche, impossible, or been-there-done-that. But the thing is, as we’re looking this week at how to give our best, focused, positive attention to our family… you can only do that if YOU are experiencing focused, positive attention too.
 
And that starts with Jesus. 
 
The Lord delights to spend time with you, encourage you, fill you up, and lead you in the busy days of motherhood. He is always ready to listen and respond. 
 
Join me today for a short devotional looking at how important it is (and how we can do it) to build intimacy with God before we try to pour energy into building intimacy with our family.
 
Let’s dive in.
 
hugs & blessings, 
Jess
