When Christmas Doesn’t Feel Merry

Everyone else is posting matching pajamas and cocoa pics, and you’re just trying not to cry through “Silent Night.” In this honest episode of “You, Me, and Jesus,” Keenya talks about the side of Christmas nobody wants to admit—when the holidays feel heavy, lonely, or just… not merry. She shares her own experiences of spending Christmas in unexpected seasons, how she navigated grief and disappointment, and where she actually found Jesus when the cheer felt fake.

In our “What Would Jesus Actually Do?” segment, we explore how Jesus might sit with someone who dreads the holidays—offering presence, comfort, and zero pressure to “cheer up” on command. This episode is for anyone who needs permission to feel what they feel this Christmas… and still know God is with them.
