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.

    An Easter Encouragement For Christian Moms

    An Easter Encouragement For Christian Moms

    Episode 187 // Easter is here, friend! This is my absolute favorite holiday of the year. 
    And this year (like it has sometimes in the past), it feels overshadowed by stress and struggle in regular life. Work, church, cleaning, discipline, bills, and so much else can threaten to steal the JOY out of family life and relationships.
    But guess what?
    The truth of Easter stands firm. The goodness and grace of the cross, the resurrection, and our eternal future with Christ is not dependent on how we might feel about it today. 
    Praise be to God!
    Join me today for a short encouragement in this busy but oh-so-important season!
    hugs & blessings,
    Jess

    How To Enjoy Family Discipleship Time With Toddlers... Yes, It Is Possible For Every Christian Mom!

    Episode 183 // I know you want to help your kids follow Jesus. There is busyness and chaos in a normal family day, but at the core of everything going on, you want Jesus to be a priority!
     
    But I also know that reading the Bible with your toddlers, teaching your squirmy little ones to sit still and pray, and figuring out what to do for family discipleship is really tough.
     
    What better time to start practicing family discipleship, Bible time, and prayer than at Easter?
     
    This can be the perfect season to try something new and start building that family habit of discipleship. Join me today for some ideas, and I’ll share what our daily family discipleship time looks like with 4 toddlers and a busy schedule!
     
    Let’s dive in.

Love your podcast!

This is one of the only podcasts I’ve discovered for Christian women that gets straight to the point and is addicting to listen to. Thank you for all of your helpful tips and strategies for overcoming common struggles in motherhood.

Love it!

I am so glad I found his podcast! It is just what I needed . The positivity gets my day going. I can't wait for the next episode! Give it a listen! ❤️

EMolo5 ,

You are not alone

This podcast is a combination of having a coffee with your best friend and going to a counselor who really “gets” you. Are you going to laugh -yes, are you going to cry - probably, are you going to walk away feeling encouraged and emboldened - yes and yes. A not to be missed podcast for wives and mothers!
