In week 2 of Coming Home for Christmas Michelle reflects on how God placed this theme on her heart a year ago and how stepping into this message is an act of obedience. She contrasts the joyful traditions and busy preparations of the season with the hidden grief, pressure, and exhaustion many people carry. Michelle reminds listeners that the first Christmas was not perfect or calm, but God entering a broken world. Through Scripture, she highlights that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted, bring hope, and meet us in our pain—not to add burdens. The episode ends with an invitation to release expectations, make room for Christ, and receive his comfort, peace, and joy this season.
