The Purpose of Motherhood | Faith for Christian Moms: stay-at-home mom life, mom guilt, homemaking

73. Handling Difficult Family Dynamics During the Holidays


Listen Later

The holidays are supposed to feel peaceful… but for so many of us, Thanksgiving and Christmas bring up complicated family dynamics, hard decisions, and the pressure to “keep everyone happy.” If you’ve ever wondered how to honor God, protect your kids, and still show up with love in less–than–ideal family situations — this episode will breathe peace into your heart. 💕


I’m sharing our own story of navigating extended family with different values, the pressure of multiple houses to visit, and how to know when it’s time to stay, go, or set healthy boundaries. We’ll talk through:

  • ​How to follow the Holy Spirit as your guide
  • ​Why your family’s season matters
  • ​What it looks like to move at the pace of your children
  • ​How to recognize when your “ministry” in a moment is done
  • ​Why leaving (or not attending at all) can still be loving and Christ-honoring


And before we dive in — a quick story about something that’s brought so much peace to our home lately.
