Description

Episode 10 // Today, we're wrapping up our mini series walking through the What, Why, and How of the four pillars of this podcast. We are looking at a top 10 list of practical action steps we can take to answer the question: HOW do we love others well?
How do you care for your friends? What about your co-workers and neighbors? Do you feel connected at church? 
These relationships matter! But life gets busy. Our homes get messy, our calendars fill up, our emotions run dry... and it can feel like another chore on the list to reach out to people we don't have to have relationship with. 
Have you ever felt too busy to connect with a good friend? Too tired to get up on a Sunday morning and go to church? Maybe you know what it's like to feel so frustrated with a co-worker that you start avoiding them in the lunch room. (Umm... raising my hand here. Eek.)
It doesn't need to be complicated. But loving others well does matter - and we can fit it into our schedule. If we know what to do. 
So hit play, friend! Let's dive into the top 10 list for how you can love your friends, church, workplace, and community well.

Friend, I know how much care, effort, time, and energy you put into loving your family. You pour out your heart for your kids, invest in your marriage, manage the house - and you’re making every effort to keep Jesus at the center of it all. But I also know how overwhelming family life can be! We live in such a distracting world. And even the best relationships eventually include some disappointment, discouragement, or a season of distance. We get stuck in a rut, we give in to some mom anger (or mom guilt), and we lose track of our own mental health or spiritual growth. How do we love our people well when we’re running on empty? When we’re running out of ideas, running out of energy, or running out of patience? When we’re spiritually dry and pouring from an empty cup? I’m Jess, and I believe that God not only can equip and encourage us in these hard moments of life family, but I also believe that He delights to do so. He uses every moment for growth and goodness. I believe that He creates us for relationship - with him and with each other. In my 10+ years as a marriage and family therapist, I’ve helped hundreds of women strengthen their family relationships. As a Christian, a wife, and a mom, I know that Christian family life is hard work. But, my friend, it is also holy work. Your marriage, motherhood, and family relationships are wildly important! And, let’s not forget, so is your own mental health, emotional wellness, and spiritual growth. On this podcast, you’ll not only find biblical encouragement for your family life, you’ll find practical tips and relationship strategies that I use in my own home and with hundreds of women in the counseling room. Twice a week, we’ll look together at how we can love God, love ourselves, love our family, and love others. Want to connect further?

I’ll talk to you soon.
