268 // Making Your Bible Time More Meaningful As A Christian Mom
Build the family life you want with the Building A Home Of Godliness And Joy devotional workbook   Episode 268 // Personal devotional time or quiet time is a HUGE part of spiritual formation as a Christian. Just because mom life is busy and tiring doesn’t mean our Bible time stops being important!    In fact, I think it’s fair to say it’s even more important for us to get this time as Christian parents. We need Jesus to shape our lives, our families, our homes. How else will we faithfully disciple our children? Where else will we find true joy, peace, wisdom, and patience?    Life may be busy, but I hope that today’s 6 simple steps will be helpful for you. When you get that time with the Lord, these steps will help you go deeper and live it out. Cover that time in prayer, lean on the grace that God is always pouring out for you and your family, and step out in faith.   Join me, friend.

Find biblical joy during hard seasons of motherhood with the Joy In The Journey 40-day Devotional   Episode 267 // I love my kids. I love my husband. I love my family. But let’s be real… I also love some “me time” when I’m able to get it.    Lots of moms feel guilty about wanting, needing, or enjoying some alone time.

266 // 6 Scriptures You Can’t Ignore If You Want A Christ-Like Home
Build your own daily devotional time with the FREE Holy Habits 45-Day Bible and Prayer Guide.   Episode 266 // Life is always changing. But the Bible is not.   Scripture never changes! It does not adjust to accommodate our busy schedules or reliance on technology. God does not change his mind on what is good or right just because we don’t understand or like it.   There is a biblical picture of what a happy, healthy, and holy marriage looks like. And there is a biblical picture of what happy, healthy, and holy mothering looks like.   Join me today to dive into 6 Scriptures that I have found so helpful over the years. These are the verses that have helped me think through my own family life, and the ones I turn to regularly in the counseling room to help other women strengthen their own family relationships too.    Let’s dive in.   hugs & blessings, Jess   RESOURCES FOR YOU   FREE: Holy Habits 45-Day Bible and Prayer Guide   DEVOTIONAL: Find a devotional to help with YOUR family’s unique needs   RELATED ON THE PODCAST: Let Proverbs 2 Shape Your Year With 3 Powerful, Practical Action Steps (EP 227)   RELATED ON THE BLOG: 10 Great Bible Verses For Your Home And Family   GET MORE & SUPPORT THE SHOW   Support the show on Patreon for just a few dollars a month, and grab access to our 2025 perk of daily(ish) devotionals!    Please leave a 5-star review and share the link to this episode with a friend who needs encouragement today!   FIND EXACTLY THE RESOURCE YOU NEED: Faith | Marriage | Parenting | Emotions | Communication | Home & Family | Freebies | Devotionals | Blog | Pinterest   DISCLAIMERS    I am a licensed therapist in South Carolina, but this podcast is not therapy.

265 // How To Hear From (And Follow!) The Holy Spirit When Your Family Is Entering A New Season
Grab the FREE E-book - Building Your Mom Toolbox: Get Your Family Out Of The Rut And Reconnect   Episode 265 // We’re entering the fall season. For most of us moms, that means new family routines, and getting back to “regular life.” This is not only the perfect time to consider tweaking and strengthening some family rhythms, but also the time when you might be feeling the itch for something to change.   That itch might actually be a call from the Holy Spirit.   When you feel like things are a little off track - take a pause, and do something about it!    When you are entering a new season or a new phase of family life - take a pause, and approach it intentionally!   We always want the Lord to speak and to show us the path forward. But sometimes, we’re so busy and life is so loud that we miss what He’s saying.   So when you feel that nudge, take it seriously. I want to give you some ideas today for HOW to do that, so you can enter this next season of family life STRONG - happy, healthy, and holy.   Join me today for some biblical encouragement and practical ideas for this season - let’s jump in.   hugs & blessings, Jess   RESOURCES FOR YOU   FREE: Building Your Mom Toolbox E-book: Get Your Family Out Of The Rut And Reconnect   DEVOTIONAL: Find a devotional to help with YOUR family’s unique needs   RELATED ON THE PODCAST: A Season of Stress: 10 Encouragements To Find Light At The End Of The Tunnel (EP 238)   RELATED ON THE BLOG: Learning How To Trust God Completely   GET MORE & SUPPORT THE SHOW   Support the show on Patreon for just a few dollars a month, and grab access to our 2025 perk of daily(ish) devotionals!    Please leave a 5-star review and share the link to this episode with a friend who needs encouragement today!   FIND EXACTLY THE RESOURCE YOU NEED: Faith | Marriage | Parenting | Emotions | Communication | Home & Family | Freebies | Devotionals | Blog | Pinterest   DISCLAIMERS    I am a licensed therapist in South Carolina, but this podcast is not therapy.

251 // How A Christian Mom Serves Her Family Well… With A Warning
Grab the devotional workbook today: Building A Home Of Godliness And Joy.   Episode 251 // Can you enjoy a healthy, happy, and holy family life without serving one another out of love?   The idea of serving others is counter-cultural. We think it won’t feel good, it will feel hard, we might get taken advantage of… Yet, this is how Jesus calls on Christians to show their love for each other!   And no one serves others more than a mom. It’s what we’re famous for! It’s important, even though it is sometimes taken for granted. It is meaningful, even though we sometimes may grumble about it.   So today on the podcast, let’s find encouragement together by considering 5 things that a servant does. How can we do those things in our home, with a godly attitude, for the good of our families and the glory of God?   Plus, one important warning for us all… to make sure we are healthy right alongside our families.   Ready?
