Welcome back to our holiday series! In today's episode we tackle the topic of contentment, why it's so hard in our culture, and share some practical ways we can be a people of joy this season.

Practical ideas shared on the show:

We live in a culture saturated with excess, exhaustion, and entitlement. And sadly, the way believers celebrate the holidays often fails to look any different from their unbelieving neighbors and friends. Why is this? What could it look like for Christians to approach the holidays with a fresh, gospel perspective? 

We aren’t here to give you the perfect gift guide or decorations tips. You won’t find us telling you what kinds of traditions you should do as a family or how to simplify the holidays so you can experience less stress. 

We hope we can offer you something far better! In this episode, Emily and Alyssa talk very practically about why God has given us the holidays as an opportunity for rejoicing.
