Show notes

Have you ever felt like you’ve missed Jesus in the busyness of the Christmas season?

Christmastime is often full of festivities, shopping, distractions, and pressures. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, it can be easy to miss out on moments of enjoyment, relationship, prayer, and meditation that are so essential to the spirit of Christmas.

In this Soul Talk, Bill and Kristi share with us some of their family’s Christmas traditions, and tangible, fruitful ways that we can joyfully find and focus on Christ, even in a secular culture and in the face of whatever we might be carrying into the holiday season with us.

Gratitude & Emotional Honesty Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

How can we be thankful if we’re in a season where we don’t feel thankful? We may even be experiencing trials or grief and feeling downright bad!

Being thankful and experiencing feelings of grief, anger, or dissatisfaction are not opposed to each other. We don't have to deny our pain or suffering in order to express gratitude to God. In fact, true thankfulness comes from being emotionally honest about both the good and bad things we’re experiencing.

In this Soul Talk, BiIll and Kristi walk us through how our hearts and souls can have a truly thankful posture no matter what we are experiencing.
