How to Pursue the Hearts of Your Family Members | Christian Family Relationships

Want deeper connection in your home? In this episode, we talk about what it really means to pursue the hearts of your family and how to love with intention, not just presence.

When was the last time someone in your family felt truly seen, known, loved, and valued—by you? In this episode of Family On Purpose, we explore what it looks like to actively pursue the hearts of your family members with faith-driven intentionality.

We cover:

· What “pursuing the heart” actually means
· Why family is your first ministry
· What Scripture says about pursuing love in relationships
· Common obstacles (burnout, rejection, busyness)
· Real-life strategies to reconnect, rebuild trust, and deepen love

This episode will encourage and equip you to lead your family with heart-first connection — even when it’s hard, even when it’s messy.
