    299 // What You Praise Is What You Will Prioritize: Psalm 93 (Summertime In The Psalms)

    2026/07/24 | 19 mins.
    Get your family ready for the new Fall season with the devotional workbook Building A Home Of Godliness And Joy.

     

    Episode 299 // In Psalm 93, we see such a beautiful picture of praise to our God and King. But can we really get “action steps” for our life today when we read psalms like this? When we just pause and focus on praising God?

     

    Absolutely! These types of Bible passages are NOT separate from our everyday lives. In fact, what we praise will directly shape who we are, what we do, and how we approach family life. 

     

    So join me today as we look at Psalm 93 together - short, beautiful, meaningful - and let’s seek the Lord’s wisdom together. 

     

    Let’s dive in.

     

    hugs & blessings,

    Jess

    298 // Why We Need The Gospel In Our Homes: The Fools Of Psalm 53 (Summertime In The Psalms)

    2026/07/17 | 19 mins.

    Episode 298 // Let’s continue our July “Summertime In The Psalms” series with Psalm 53 today. As Christian moms, we can gain a great deal of wisdom from looking at how fools live their own lives, which is exactly what David focuses on here in this psalm. 

     

    This is a short but powerful psalm, and I’ve got 2 big take-aways for you that should shape every Christian home. We want to enjoy family life, but that will only truly happen when we are seeking God’s face, following his plans, and living by his wisdom.

     

    Each summer, I like to take a few weeks to dive into the Psalms. To consider the wisdom of this ancient poetry and how it shapes our view of a godly, happy Christian home today. Join me today, friends!

     

    hugs & blessings,

    Jess
