Love Your People Well | A Therapist’s Tips For Christian Mom Life, Marriage Help, And Family Relationships
Welcome to the Love Your People Well Podcast! Every week here on the show, you’ll get biblical encouragement, gospel hope, and practical tips from my work as a marriage and family therapist and my own home life as a mom of 4 littles.
Every mom can struggle with feeling distracted and discouraged. We can start to feel like we’re drowning in all the important things we want to do.
But every mom also wants to ENJOY her family. You want to find purpose in your motherhood. You want a happy marriage, quality family time, and a close family bond. You want more time with Jesus, more self care, and more joy during the hard seasons.
It is my prayer that you will find that here.
Take a deep breath, friend, and listen in for a few minutes today. You’ll get tips, you’ll get encouragement, and most of all, you’ll get God’s Word and the peace, joy, and purpose that He offers you in this crazy journey of Christian family life.
Head to www.LoveYourPeopleWell to grab some free resources, check out my line of devotionals, and get more support.
Hugs & blessings, friend. I’ll talk to you soon!
