Love Your People Well | A Therapist’s Tips For Christian Mom Life, Marriage Help, And Family Relationships
Welcome to the Love Your People Well Podcast! Every week here on the show, you’ll get biblical encouragement, gospel hope, and practical tips from my work as a marriage and family therapist and my own home life as a mom of 4 littles.
Every mom can struggle with feeling distracted and discouraged. We can start to feel like we’re drowning in all the important things we want to do.
But every mom also wants to ENJOY her family. You want to find purpose in your motherhood. You want a happy marriage, quality family time, and a close family bond. You want more time with Jesus, more self care, and more joy during the hard seasons.
It is my prayer that you will find that here.
Take a deep breath, friend, and listen in for a few minutes today. You’ll get tips, you’ll get encouragement, and most of all, you’ll get God’s Word and the peace, joy, and purpose that He offers you in this crazy journey of Christian family life.
Head to www.LoveYourPeopleWell.com to grab some free resources, check out my line of devotionals, and get more support.
Hugs & blessings, friend. I’ll talk to you soon!

And when you hold onto a Christian mindset, a right and biblical perspective on life as a wife, mom, and Christian, you will enjoy family life so much more! There is so much purpose in what we do every day as Christian moms. And there can be so much joy.

That, my friend, is when these daily habits will help you most.
If you can build your habits from the things that are truly most important to you, those habits will keep you focused and purposeful when life is not going according to plan.
So today, we’re taking a look at 4 daily habits that will help you maintain a biblical perspective, a godly mindset, and a positive attitude.
Ready? Let’s dive in.

Episode 114.5 // Friday Faith Followup
I am loving being back from our podcast hiatus, my friend! It feels good to be behind the mic again and chatting with you about Christian family life. Marriage, motherhood, faith - there are so many important elements of a happy home life!
We’re kicking off a mini-series this week, digging into how to be the wise woman of Proverbs 14:1 who builds up her home… and how to avoid being the foolish one who tears it apart with her own hands.
But first, sit with me for a bit to hear more about how God used this 10 week hiatus in my life (and in this podcast!) and find some encouragement in his wisdom, his Word, and his faithful love.
Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 114 // How important is it to you to enjoy family life? To feel connected with your Christian family, comfortable in your home, and at peace with those who are most important to you?
It’s almost a trick question, friend. I know it is WILDLY important to you! (Why else would you be checking out this podcast episode??)
As a Christian mom, struggling lately with finding joy and peace in my own home life, I’ve been reading through the proverbs to find wisdom and encouragement. And I’ve been blown away by Proverbs 14:1.
“A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.” (NLT)
Want to enjoy home life? Join me today to dive into what it really looks like to build our homes well, like the wise woman here of Proverbs 14:1.
Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

(F3) Making Good Decisions Matters For Your Christian Family... But Why?
Friday Apr 14, 2023
Friday Apr 14, 2023
Episode 113.5 // Friday Faith Follow-up
We're back, friends! After a 10-week hiatus, today we are following up on our conversation about making difficult decisions for the good of your family.
Because the thing is, it's not just about making "difficult" decisions. It's ultimately about making GOOD decisions. Healthy decisions. Biblical, godly decisions.
You're here because you want to enjoy family life. And I'm here for the same reasons!
We're here to enjoy family life. To invest in building relationships that matter. We want to use our time well, manage our emotions well, communicate well, and build a home life that is joyful, meaningful, and godly.
So, jump in and let's consider together WHY it matters that we're making good decisions today - not only for the good of our families, but for God's glory and our good as well.
Ready? Let's dive in.

Episode 113 // No one enjoys making difficult decisions. But they are a necessary part of Christian family life! And sometimes, the things we want and plan don’t wind up lining up with what God seems to be asking us to do.
Those decisions are not easy. They typically aren’t fun. But when our deepest goal is to follow Jesus alongside our family and do what is truly best for them, it sometimes means making decisions that put a hold on our personal desires or plans.
Hard stuff. Important stuff. So how do you go about making these difficult decisions? How do you move forward when there might be some disappointment? That’s what we’re talking about today.
Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

(F3) Why “I’ll Pray For You” Is A Powerful Thing
Friday Jan 13, 2023
Friday Jan 13, 2023
Episode 112.5 // Friday Faith Followup
How often have you heard people say “I’ll pray for you”? Yes, there are prayer warriors who genuinely go home and put your situation on their prayer list and they take it before the Lord regularly. But is that the norm?
Is that how we really pray for each other? Or is your experience more like mine… that “I’ll pray for you” is just a cliche way to end a conversation, at best followed up with a quick prayer later on when you actually remember what was said.
As we’ve looked at this week, prayer is powerful. Prayer is action. Prayer matters. And so today, let’s challenge each other to be more genuine in how we pray for others. Let’s encourage each other to deepen this area of our lives, for our good and the good of others.
Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
