Let’s dive in.

You aren’t here to just grit your teeth and survive raising your kids. No way! No, you are here to figure out how to ENJOY family life.
Yes, family life is messy. It’s chaotic. We all get frustrated, we get overwhelmed, relationships can discourage us and life can be really hard.
And Psalm 62 has exactly the wisdom we need for THOSE parts of Christian family life.
So join me today, friend, to take a look at the 5 “R’s” that we find here in Psalm 62. When things are rough, these 5 action steps are straight from God to encourage your heart and keep you on the right path.
Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 199 // Summertime in the Psalms Series!
Today, we’re diving into Psalm 1 together. Throughout July, we’ll look closely at a few psalms in order to gain wisdom and direction from the Lord in what our family life should look like.
Here in Psalm 1, we find clarity on how to lead our family closer to God. We are shaped every day by the people, voices, and ideas we listen to. Are your family’s influences pointing you in the right direction?
Join me for some encouragement and tips to bless your Christian family!
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 198 // Do you sometimes wish there was more time for rest in your life?
Of course you do! Every busy mom longs for a bit more peace, a bit more rest in her regular life. But we get stuck in figuring out how to make it happen, and we feel guilty about the time we think it’s taking away from our family.
As Christians, the Bible tells us clearly that Sabbath is a good blessing God gives us. But do you know how that compares against the self care tips that the world offers?
Join me today to explore the difference between Sabbath and self care, and to get a few biblical self care tips to help you make space for Sabbath, rest, and refreshment.
Ready? Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 197 // Self care can be quite a buzzword these days. The world probably prioritizes it too much, but I think that Christians often prioritize it too little. Especially Christian women!
Yes, you’re busy. You’re a mom, a wife, you have a million things to do - but if you never take care of yourself, how long can you keep taking care of these people you love so much?
Join me today for an exploration of what self care really means, why it matters for us, and how to do it well as a Christian woman. I’ll share my perspective both as a Christian counselor and a mom of 4 little ones… yes, self care matters, and you CAN (and should!) do it in a way that honors God, blesses your family, and strengthens you.
Ready? Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
