Jess Carey and Navigating the Storms of Family Life

Navigating the storms of life can be hard. Especially when we try to face them alone. I brought my friend Jess on the podcast to talk with us about her new book Taking a Journey With God at the Helm. It’s a book for anyone that wants to follow God’s plan for their life, but are unsure of how to begin. It provides personal testimonies in an effort to give the reader the courage to set sail on their own voyage

In this episode you will hear:

  • Practical advice on how to engage your community during hard times and avoid isolation

  • How we can help our children build their own community

  • How we can create a family culture of praise and gratitude in our home

Key Points:

  • When you open up to others you realize that you are not the only ones that are going through something. More people than you think can relate. 

  • Focusing on your kids' character helps them choose good friends. 

  • Words of encouragement we get from friends are gold. Share them regularly and teach your kids to share them too. 

  • Cultivating praise in your home will shift the focus off what’s not going well to what is.
