Heart on the Altar

Episode 13: The Real Reason for Christmas | Isaiah 9:6–7


Listen Later

In this episode of Heart on the Altar, Brittani kicks off the Christmas season by going back to the real reason we celebrate: Jesus.

Instead of getting swept up in consumerism, comparison, and the pressure to “make Christmas magical,” she walks through Isaiah 9:6–7 and unpacks who Jesus really is:

  • Wonderful Counselor – the One who invites us to be honest, raw, and real
  • Mighty God – strong, powerful, and able to carry what we can’t
  • Eternal Father – steady, present, and nothing like our imperfect earthly fathers
  • Prince of Peace – the only One who can quiet the chaos inside us

Brittani also shares about a Christmas when her family was broke-broke—wrapping bags of Hot Cheetos and dollar snacks for the kids—and how God used that season to expose her heart, her pride, and her idea of “enough.”

If you’ve ever:

  • Felt pressure to overspend or overdo Christmas
  • Felt lonely, unseen, or disappointed during the holidays
  • Wondered why the gifts, lights, and plans still don’t satisfy

…this episode is for you. 💛

Scripture: Isaiah 9:6–7 CSB

Listen in and be reminded: No tree, no gift, and no “perfect Christmas” can satisfy your heart more than Jesus Himself.
