Description

Welcome to the go-to podcast for Christian moms who want to truly ENJOY every minute of family life!

✓ Strengthen your family relationships
✓ Grow a happy marriage
✓ Build a strong bond with your kids
... While keeping Jesus at the center of it all.

If you sometimes feel discouraged by how family life is going, you’re not alone. We live in a busy world, with a ton of distractions, and relationships really do take work. There’s not a simple answer to the messy realities of Christian family life.

But there are solutions!

On this podcast, we tackle the real-life struggles of Christian family relationships.

How do you manage hard emotions like anger and anxiety? What does conflict resolution look like in a godly marriage? Can you really enjoy your toddlers instead of spending all your time cleaning up the spills and picking up the toys?

If you’re anything like me, what you really want to do is ENJOY the crazy journey of family life.

You want to soak up every minute of time with your family. You want to be fully present in the moment with your little ones and feel connected with your husband. You want to find God’s purpose in the stressful days of mom life.

You want your marriage and motherhood to matter, not just in the here and now, but for eternity.

Well, my friend, you’re in the right place.

I’m Jess Hayes, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a marriage and family therapist, pastor’s wife, and mom of 4 energetic toddlers. Life is busy and full, and I am PASSIONATE about helping moms enjoy their family relationships!

Christian family life can be hard work. There can be discouragement and distractions. But your effort is WORTHWHILE and God can do amazing things in your family.

Each week here on the Love Your People Well podcast, we tackle a different topic related to family life. From faith to emotions to communication, you’ll get biblical encouragement along with plenty of PRACTICAL strategies that will help you enjoy family life and deepen those family relationships.

Episode 188 // Ever feel stuck in your family relationships? We all feel that way sometimes! And Jesus always has the way forward.   One of my favorite passages in Scripture lately for focusing in on Christian family life is the Sermon on the Mount.

It is counter-cultural and life-changing.    But it isn’t exactly easy to live out.    Join me today for a look at how this powerful sermon from our Lord can change you - and change your family relationships - for the better.   Let’s dive in.   hugs & blessings, Jess   *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *   ✨ Our next CHALLENGE inside the Faith Fiver Club is one I’m super excited about - Living Out The Beatitudes.
