I love the holidays. From the decorations to the food to the music to the gifts... I love it! 🎄
But it's easy to get sidetracked by it all. It's easy to get trapped in seeking the "perfect" holiday moment. And when that happens, I can forget that in the special holiday events, the real priority is family relationships.
And sometimes, prioritizing relationships means leaving the fun event, letting the gravy burn on the stovetop, or setting down the camera (let's be honest... the phone) to go help family members reconcile. To apologize. To hug. To discipline. To do the hard things that are necessary for restoring family unity and achieving reconciliation.
We need God's help to do it! Join me today, friend, for a short prayer together. Let's lift up our families, our relationships, our reactions, and our holiday season to the Lord.

Jess

Episode 215 // More time together means more time for family conflict and stress. It’s simply a reality of the holidays - they can be wonderful, but they don’t always bring out the best in us.
If your family is anything like mine, I expect the holidays to include some sibling squabbles, a few awkward extended-family conversations, a cluttered living room, and kids hyped up on more sugar + less sleep.
And if we are ready for the potential toddler meltdowns and family conflict, we’ll be able to avoid it, handle it, and protect the beauty and connectedness of the holiday season.
So today, I’m sharing 7 tips to help you get ready and protect your family joy during the holidays! Let’s dive in, friend.

We follow a God of peace. A God who gives us "abundant life" (John 10:10) and wants to grow fruit of the Spirit in us that includes joy, peace, and love (Galatians 5:22-23).
That sounds like a WAY better holiday season than stress, busyness, and chaos!
So, let's ask for it. Join me for a short prayer today, lifting our holiday season and our family life before the Lord. Let's ask him for what we need to keep this holiday season low-stress, and lots of fun.

We need Jesus. We need the Holy Spirit to help us with forgiveness. So, I hope you'll join me today for a few minutes of prayer as we pray for our marriages together.

Discipling our kids is important... and it can feel totally overwhelming.
When something really matters, it's easy to start worrying about it. Stressing about it. Sometimes we feel paralyzed by how big it feels, and wind up not doing very much at all.
Thankfully, God is bigger! He is the One who tells us how important it is to love him, follow him, and share about him with others. He gave us our children, and gave us the calling to teach them about the gospel and show them what a relationship with Jesus looks like. He promises to give us wisdom (James 1:5), to give us the right words (Luke 12:12), and to be with us always (Matthew 28:20).
So, join me today for a short prayer for our sweet kiddos. Let's pray together for our words, for their faith, and for the Lord to bless every discipleship effort in our homes.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 207 // There are a lot of things that feel important as a parent. Things that really are important! But as Christian parents, there is one true priority in our parenting - discipling our kids.
“Bring [your children] up in the training and instruction of the Lord,” Ephesians 6 tells us. “Impress [my commandments] on your children,” Deuteronomy 6 tells parents.
But life is busy! The days are full! Kids have tiny little attention spans! How do we do it??
Today, I want to share 5 things that my husband and I prioritize in our daily rhythms to ensure that discipling our kids is a priority. It might be loud and crazy, and it rarely looks like the perfect picture in my head, but it’s happening. And it matters.
Join me today for some encouragement in parenting your sweet little ones for the glory of Christ!
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Relationships can be tough.
There are big emotions, plenty of chances for conflict, gaps in communication, busy days, tired people. But our family relationships are worth the effort of working through all of that!
There are plenty of tips and tricks and strategies that can help us deepen our family relationships. But at the end of the day, the true power comes from the Holy Spirit.
We need Jesus. Join me today for a short time of prayer to seek the Lord's blessing in our family relationships.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 206 // What is family life all about? CONNECTING with our people.
If you get all the stuff done and your house is spotless and the bills are paid… but you aren’t connected with your people, it won’t really matter. Without depth and intimacy in those relationships, life can’t feel full and joyful.
So today, as we continue to look at some family rhythms that can help us love our people well, we’ll take a look at how to deepen our family relationships day by day - no matter what kind of crazy season of life you’re in.
Join me to walk through some of the daily rhythms in my home that help me stay connected with my people. With 4 kids ages 4 and under, the days are busy and time goes fast. And just like you, I want my marriage and my relationship with my kids to grow deeper every day. Here are my tips for making that happen.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
