We started this conversation at our Vision Night in January and wanted to dive deeper into it, so we brought it to the podcast. Join Toni, Vickie & Lindsay as they talk about minimalizing your life to find God. It's powerful.

Four words come to mind when I think of Christmas:
Waiting
Watching
Praying
Obeying

In the last three weeks, we looked at Simeon waiting, the shepherds watching and Anna praying. This week we are going to look at all of the participants in the Christmas story and talk about all things obeying. It's not the normal word that comes to mind but it has everything to do with the first coming of Christ. And our obedience has everything to do with His second coming.

God chooses to work through His people, and obeying directly impacts the plans of the Lord.

What does obeying have to do with Christmas? Let's find out together.

Merry Christmas! Or is it? Christmas isn't always a season of joy for everyone, and we live in the tension of the promise of abundant life here on earth while life feels more like a dark abyss.

How do we carry grief with us through a season of joy?

When grief is real and raw and pressing and heavy, how do we celebrate the holidays?

How do you celebrate a season of joy when all you feel is sadness?

How do we honor the history of what we've lost while living in the pain and grief of the present and still have hope about the future being good?

Join Cyndie Quinn, Barb Lagaras, and Toni Lagaras (and a special guest!) as we tackle these questions and so much more. And know that you are not alone. We are praying for you through this season. God is with you, and you are going to make it!
