Love Your People Well - Christian Motherhood Tips, Marriage Help, and Family Relationship Building

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

A Beautiful Picture Of Christian Family Life When We Learn To Tame Our Tongues

Episode 185 // Words are powerful. But taming our tongues and using our words well - even in the heat of big emotions and family conflict - seems almost impossible!
 
If you ever feel frustrated or disappointed by how your words impact your family, today’s episode is for you.
 
Join me to see a picture of how your words can bless, nourish, help, and encourage your family. We see an amazing picture in the Bible of how our words impact others - for good or for evil. Let’s encourage one another and spur each other on toward love and good deeds in how we use our words with our families.
