Description
Do you want healthy, happy, and holy family relationships? You are in the right place!
Family life can be busy and chaotic. It’s easy to get distracted in the busyness of life. Relationships can feel discouraging and disappointing sometimes.
But if you want to ENJOY those family relationships even through the ups and downs, this is the podcast for you.
Each episode, you’ll find biblical encouragement and practical, real-life action steps to help you be fully present, full of peace, and find purpose in your role as a Christian wife and mom. You’ll deepen your relationship with Jesus, find ways to manage the big emotions that can overwhelm you, and build skills for healthy communication with your husband and children.
As a pastor’s wife and mom of 4 little ones, I know all about the ups and downs of Christian family life. And with 10+ years as a licensed marriage and family therapist, I love bringing gospel hope AND practical strategies to help you find more joy in family life!
Subscribe to the show today and join me each week right here for encouragement, tips, strategies, and prayer.
