EPISODE 21

Peace becomes possible when we set down what isn’t ours to carry — and turn our gaze from the urgent and noisy back to Jesus, one moment at a time.

In this devotional-style episode for Christian women navigating holiday stress, we turn to Exodus 18 to see how Moses handled burnout, overwhelm, and carrying more than God asked him to. We explore how to calm the holiday chaos, reduce stress, create healthy boundaries, 
outsource wisely, and return to a rhythm of peace and presence. If you’re longing for a holiday that feels grounded, purposeful, and centered on what matters most, this gentle teaching will help 
you release what God never asked you to carry.
