What can we do this holiday season to spread the JOY of Jesus? Get holly jolly! As Christians we should be radiating joy like Moses off of the mountain. We should be glowing so brightly, people wonder why we are the way we are. This means acting Biblically, which also, many times, happens to be counter-culturally. Which will make us easy to spot.

EP 103: How Jesus Models Humility, Mary Did You Know? is live! We talk about how Jesus comes down in human form, washes feet, and gives the ultimate sacrifice. He does all of this because he loves us. When we take a look at how Mary got to have a very personal relationship with Jesus, we can see that we have access to have a deep relationship with God too!

Last week, we belted out O Holy Night in our cars. This week, we’re picking up the jazzy beat with this classic: The Little Drummer Boy. Today we’re looking at offering up ourselves to God through the gifts He’s given us.

I love The Little Drummer Boy for a million reasons. I love seeing this song live because the drummers have an amazing solo which is full of passion and talent. As a former drummer, I rock out pretty hard to this one. But what I love more than the fun, creative solos is the meaning of what the song brings.

Each week leading up to Christmas, we'll talk about a song that serves a deeper purpose. I'll cover my favorite lyric from the song, tie its meaning to scripture, and call us to step into action as followers of Christ. We'll gain perspective and prompting to spread the good news this holiday season.

We're kicking if off with the ultimate vocal jam, O, Holy Night. This is one a proudly belt out in the privacy of my vehicle, because this song touches all the notes. When I hear this one in church services, I say a little prayer that whoever is singing can hit that high note at the end with ease. It's a lot of pressure to get that one right, so shout out to all you amazing singers, because it ain't me!

As followers of Christ, we know our souls are protected and we are eternally safe. As we live our lives while here on Earth, we know we’ll face trials and persecution. That’s a tough pill to swallow, and this tension can cause us to live in fear. Today, we’re talking about 3 Steps to shut down fear with God’s protection by standing firm in this truth:

Truth: Since you are protected, you can combat fear.

It’s no mystery where the term “leap of faith” comes from. It’s thrown around pretty casually in the secular world, and it all ties back to faith. True faith requires a leap of sorts. When we go all in on our faith in Jesus, we can see the reality that God equips us with abilities we could never obtain on our own. Today, we’re looking at how tiny acts of obedience prepare us for big leaps of faith. As we embrace our identity in Christ as being able, we can rest in this truth:

Truth: Since you are able, you can step out in faith with confidence.

Crossing the line of faith, becoming a Christian, and accepting Christ as your Lord and savior are all talking about the same decision: choosing to wholeheartedly follow God. This is the most important decision of your life, and it has an eternal impact. If you’ve already accepted Christ, you have been officially accepted into his family. Congrats, sister! We get to party in Heaven forever together! Bonus: we get to rest in this truth:

Truth: Since you are accepted, you can accept and respect others
