Description

In our last episode of 2024, Scott and Whitney invite Joey Altom, one of our pastors, in the studio to discuss the holiday season and some of the unique spiritual challenges it can present. Whether it’s loneliness, grief, family tensions, cultural expectations, or just being busy, December doesn’t always look the way we hope it will. As a church family, we want to set our hopes higher and look to Jesus for comfort and peace.

Key Points

  • An honest Christmas narrative acknowledges the broken state of our world and remembers that Jesus willingly entered into that brokenness to empathize with our suffering and offer us salvation from it.
  • As a church, we recognize that the holiday season is not easy or peaceful for many, and we want to be with one another through a variety of challenges just as Jesus came to be with us.
  • In the chaos and busyness of the holidays, we can set aside time to abide with Christ and be reminded that he is the source of our peace and stability regardless of our circumstances.
