645 // Feeling Unsure About God’s Heart for You? Remembering What Jesus Shows Us | Christmas Devotional

22 minutes

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is an invitation to step into this holiday season wrapped in grace, clarity, and the steady reminder that God is near.

We finish our week-long study of Jeremiah 29:10–14 with a full recap, reflecting on exile, promise, prayer, and what it means to trust God’s goodness even when we’re standing in the middle of the unknown.

We also walk through Day 3 of Rick Warren’s Christmas in a Season of Struggle, leaning into Jesus’ words in John 12:46 as He declares Himself the Light who rescues us from confusion, fear, and the dark places of our hearts.

If you’ve been navigating overwhelming emotions, difficult people, or the pressure that the holidays can stir up, this episode will meet you with comfort and truth. This one is for the woman who needs clarity, hope, and a gentle nudge back into the light of God’s presence.
