When Family Hurts
Daily Devotions for Your Most Difficult Family Relationships
Your Family Relationships Don’t Have to Stay Stuck
You’ve tried praying about it. You’ve tried ignoring the problems. You’ve tried just being “more patient.”
But what if the solution isn’t trying harder—it’s learning smarter?
God gave you a mind capable of learning new skills and a heart capable of transformation. When you combine biblical wisdom with emotional intelligence, you don’t just survive difficult family relationships—you can actually transform them.
Your peace matters. Your emotional health matters. Your family relationships can change.
It starts with choosing peace over drama.
Does This Sound Familiar?
✓ Your stomach knots up before family gatherings because you know someone will say something triggering
✓ You love your family, but certain relatives drain your energy and steal your peace
✓ You’ve tried “just praying about it” but still explode when your buttons get pushed
✓ You feel guilty for wanting boundaries because “family should come first”
✓ You’re exhausted from being the peacekeeper while everyone else creates drama
✓ You want to love difficult family members well, but you’re losing yourself in the process
You’re not alone. And you’re not stuck.
What if You Could Choose Peace Over Drama in Every Family Interaction?
Imagine walking into family gatherings feeling confident and calm…
Imagine responding to family triggers with wisdom instead of reacting with wounds…
Imagine setting boundaries that protect your peace without destroying your relationships…
Imagine loving difficult family members without losing yourself in the process…
This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s possible when you combine biblical wisdom with practical emotional intelligence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this work if my family members aren’t Christians? A: Absolutely! While the approach is faith-based, the emotional intelligence tools work regardless of others’ beliefs. You’ll learn to respond from your faith foundation even when family members don’t share it.
Q: What if my family situation involves abuse? A: While these resources provide powerful healing tools, they’re not a substitute for professional counseling in cases of abuse. Mary Ann will provide additional resources and referrals when needed.
Q: I can’t attend the live sessions. Is it still worth it? A: Yes! Every live session includes 30-day replay access, so you can participate at your convenience. Plus, the community support continues between sessions.
Q: How is this different from regular family counseling? A: This approach specifically integrates faith with emotional intelligence, focuses on your growth rather than changing others, and provides ongoing community support at a fraction of the cost of individual therapy.
Q: Can I share these resources with my family? A: The devotional and some resources can be shared with immediate family members. The Facilitator Guide is specifically designed for those leading others through the content.
