  • A Prayer For Discipling Our Children
    Aug 30 2024

    Discipling our kids is important... and it can feel totally overwhelming.

    When something really matters, it's easy to start worrying about it. Stressing about it. Sometimes we feel paralyzed by how big it feels, and wind up not doing very much at all.

    Thankfully, God is bigger! He is the One who tells us how important it is to love him, follow him, and share about him with others. He gave us our children, and gave us the calling to teach them about the gospel and show them what a relationship with Jesus looks like. He promises to give us wisdom (James 1:5), to give us the right words (Luke 12:12), and to be with us always (Matthew 28:20).

    So, join me today for a short prayer for our sweet kiddos. Let's pray together for our words, for their faith, and for the Lord to bless every discipleship effort in our homes.

    hugs & blessings,

    Jess

  • Rhythms & Routines: Intentionally Discipling Our Children
    Aug 27 2024

    Episode 207 // There are a lot of things that feel important as a parent. Things that really are important! But as Christian parents, there is one true priority in our parenting - discipling our kids.

    “Bring [your children] up in the training and instruction of the Lord,” Ephesians 6 tells us. “Impress [my commandments] on your children,” Deuteronomy 6 tells parents.

    But life is busy! The days are full! Kids have tiny little attention spans! How do we do it??

    Today, I want to share 5 things that my husband and I prioritize in our daily rhythms to ensure that discipling our kids is a priority. It might be loud and crazy, and it rarely looks like the perfect picture in my head, but it’s happening. And it matters.

    Join me today for some encouragement in parenting your sweet little ones for the glory of Christ!

    hugs & blessings,

    Jess

it's the prefect daily bread I need to help me through motherhood in the good and the bad.

she was so easy too listen too and I really enjoyed all the content. I enjoyed how she links motherhood and God into daily living.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
