  • 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

  • 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

  • Pray with me, friend!

    We all want to feel successful in our days. But ultimately, success comes from the Lord. He fills us, leads us, helps us, strengthens us. We need the endurance, patience, creativity, and grace that He gives.

    So today, let's take a few minutes to pray together for our families, the things that fill up our days, and for the Lord to bless all of it.

    hugs & blessings,

    Jess

  • Episode 205 // Being a stay at home Christian mom is SUCH a great blessing. But we live in such a busy, distracting, technology-filled world that it can be hard to understand what “success” really looks like… let alone, how to get there.

    So today on the podcast, I want to share all the details of my morning routine - which sets up my day for success. These are the activities that help me put Jesus first, stay present with my kids, get the housework done, and ENJOY my time with my family.

    It’s not a checklist to follow and it’s not a magic wand to solve every problem. But being intentional about how you start your day is a key part of deepening family relationships and enjoying family life.

    Ready? Let’s jump in!

  • God teaches us and shapes us through his Word. Reading the Bible is so valuable! And one of my favorite parts is that we can give those Scriptures back to God in prayer.

    So, join me for a few minutes today as we pray together through a few of the Proverbs that have been jumping out to me over the past few months, as I've been reading Proverbs daily.

  • Episode 204 // There are some daily habits that will change your life. Over the past few years as a mom, I’ve found that reading the Bible every day is DEFINITELY one of those habits! And over the past few months, I’ve started reading the Proverbs every day too…

    … And I love it.

    Do I miss a few days a month? Of course. Is the book of Proverbs the only Bible reading I do each day? Usually not. Am I finding that God is changing me through this daily Proverbs reading?

    You bet He is!

    God is so good. So faithful. And Proverbs is a GREAT place to dive into daily Bible reading. In today’s episode, I’ll talk through why this is the case and share my own personal experience with reading Proverbs daily. Join me for some biblical encouragement today, friend!

  • Join me for a short time of prayer today, friend, as we reflect this week on the power of God's Word, his presence, and his grace in the stresses of Christian motherhood.

    My time this summer reading through the psalms and proverbs has been such a wonderful reminder of God's character. We need that reminder every day!!

    So today, we are praying for God's grace to pour out on our families everyday - so we can keep Jesus at the center of family life, even when it's crazy, and enjoy the good, the bad, and everything in between.

    Join me.

  • Episode 203 // We’re wrapping up the Summertime in the Psalms series today. (For real this time… somehow, I thought July had already ended last week!)

    And I want to share my heart with you today, friend.

    This summer, I’ve been reading through the psalms and proverbs. It hasn’t been a miraculous, life-changing experience. No magic wands. No a-ha God moments.

    But it has been a slow, sweet time with the Lord. It has been TOTALLY WORTH IT spending time in God’s Word, even when daily life is incredibly busy as a mom of 4 little ones.

    So today, let’s have a real life, mom-to-mom, sit on the couch with a cup of coffee and chat conversation. I’ll share about my stressful spring, my unrealistic goals for summer, and the power of God’s presence in the Bible through it.

    Let’s dive in.

    hugs & blessings,

    Jess

    Psalm 102 is literally labeled "the prayer of an afflicted person." So, how can we not finish out this week without prayer??

  • Episode 202 // Summertime in the Psalms Series!

    I love the tagline for Psalm 102. “The prayer of an afflicted person who has grown weak and pours out a lament before the Lord.”

    What Christian mom hasn’t sometimes felt afflicted? Weak? Filled with lament and struggle?

    Today’s episode is for you, my friend. And for me. And for all of us who feel weak and weary sometimes!

    Join me for encouragement, hope, and 3 practical takeaways from this beautiful psalm.

    Let’s dive in.

  • Episode 201 // Summertime in the Psalms Series!

    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!

  • 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
