Why is it sometimes easier to be patient with strangers than with the people we love most? In this episode of Faithfully Invested, Allen and Stacy Jo Thorne dive deep into what it really means to love and serve your family like Jesus—with humility, grace, and intentionality.

Through personal stories (yes, even toilet paper emergencies!), biblical truth from Ephesians 5–6, and practical takeaways, they unpack how to break selfish cycles, heal generational wounds, and lead your home with a servant’s heart.

You’ll hear candid reflections on marriage, parenting, forgiveness, and the counter-cultural call to die to self—plus five practical ways to start living this out today. Whether your home is full of little ones, grown kids, or just you and your spouse, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to reflect Christ’s heart right where it matters most.

In this episode you’ll discover:
✅ Why mutual love and respect must start at home
✅ How to serve without expecting anything in return
✅ The role of humility, patience, and grace in family life
✅ How to flip the script on frustration and irritation
✅ The power of praying together and building surrendered hearts

If you’re ready to strengthen your marriage, deepen your family bonds, and leave a godly legacy, this is your roadmap.
