This week, Erin and Jess sit down in our fully decked-out Christmas studio and talk about something unexpected: why two massive music stars are singing about craving a simple, quiet, ordinary life (the kind most of us are living right now).

We dive into Taylor Swift’s “Wishlist,” Kelsea Ballerini’s “I Sit in Parks,” and the very real spiritual hunger tucked inside both songs. Even with fame, fortune, and every dream at their fingertips, they’re longing for home, family, grounding, and peace....the things God designed every human heart to need.

Inside this episode:• The surprising beauty of a quiet, faithful life• Why worldly success never fills the deeper ache• Paul’s encouragement in 1 Thessalonians about ambition and simplicity• How to see your everyday life through a spiritual lens• And what happens when your Christmas tree is so big it requires… a chainsaw (yes, really)

If you’re feeling the holiday comparison trap creeping in, this conversation will lift the weight right off your chest. You have more blessings than you realize, and more than money could ever buy.

Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12; Psalm 42:1; 1 Timothy 6:6–7
