hugs & blessings,
Jess

Biblical Keys You Need For Stronger Family Relationships

Episode 190 // The Bible can sometimes feel a bit abstract. The “spiritual” doesn’t always feel like it’s impacting our everyday lives and our relationships. 
 
That’s why I love to explore and consider the practical applications of Scripture for our family life. 
 
We’re taking a few weeks here to walk through the Sermon on the Mount. The Bible is not a mystery. God gives us everything we need for life and happiness - including some very important keys for our family relationships
 
Let’s dive in.

How The Sermon On The Mount Will Change Your Parenting

Episode 188 // Ever feel stuck in your family relationships? We all feel that way sometimes! And Jesus always has the way forward.
 
One of my favorite passages in Scripture lately for focusing in on Christian family life is the Sermon on the Mount. It’s chapters 5-7 of the Gospel of Matthew, and Jesus is so clear about how we are to live! It is counter-cultural and life-changing. 
 
But it isn’t exactly easy to live out. 
 
Join me today for a look at how this powerful sermon from our Lord can change you - and change your family relationships - for the better.
 
Let’s dive in.

Jess

An Easter Encouragement For Christian Moms

Episode 187 // Easter is here, friend! This is my absolute favorite holiday of the year. 
And this year (like it has sometimes in the past), it feels overshadowed by stress and struggle in regular life. Work, church, cleaning, discipline, bills, and so much else can threaten to steal the JOY out of family life and relationships.
But guess what?
The truth of Easter stands firm. The goodness and grace of the cross, the resurrection, and our eternal future with Christ is not dependent on how we might feel about it today. 
Praise be to God!
Join me today for a short encouragement in this busy but oh-so-important season!
hugs & blessings,
Jess
