Out of the Ordinary

56. 2 Hard Holidays and A Holy Night (Part 2 of 3)


Listen Later

This is the story of a bag of broken Christmas gifts and an ironing board.

Here comes the second in our 3 part journey unpacking our hard Christmas stories because we know this time of year isn't just about the shiny and the special. It's about a God who comes to meet us in the middle of broken gifts and disappointed expectations.

Join Christie and Lisa-Jo as they remember Christmases that some might have wanted to rescue them OUT OF. And instead, learn with them about what it looks like to be rescued INTO your own story.

These are stories about hard holidays, but they are only the first step in a three-part journey Christie and Lisa-Jo take together on the podcast this December.

Why revisit the hard? Why return in conversation to those darker holiday moments? Because this year's Christmas, and all our Christmases to come, are shaped by Christmas past. And the past has much to teach us.

Join Christie and Lisa-Jo on this storytelling journey as they begin to see the light that glimmers even in some of their darker memories. It is a light that will grow and grow until it shines in its fullness on two memorable holy nights.
