Glordinary

By Stacy Holmes

My life is very ordinary. I’m not glamorous. But in a culture that’s constantly chasing the next shiny thing, there’s something deeply satisfying about a ”long obedience in the same direction.” It’s a... more

December 21, 2025 (Early Release) Recapturing Christmas: A Glordinary Tradition
Whether you're peacefully sipping eggnog or frantically baking and wrapping, let’s try something different this year.
Treat yourself, your family, and your guests to five minutes. Five minutes to remember the reason, the real reason. Hear the words of the true Christmas through the eyes of Mary, Joseph, and Heaven itself.
Join me for our annual Scripture reading, a re-telling of that first Christmas, releasing Sunday, December 21, to enjoy with your family and friends. (The episode will air again on Christmas morning.)

Before the gifts, before the goodies, let’s get back to the One it’s all about in the first place.

December 17, 2025 #96- Joy Treats: Finding Joy Amidst Junk
Did you know “holy day” is where we derive our word for holiday? I’m thinking December didn’t get the memo. With all the hustle and bustle, the Christmas season can feel way more hustle than holy.
I’ve got an idea. Let’s warm up together with another conversation in our Advent Remembers series. We’ll chat about joy in all the seasons, even Christmas.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
"They have no more wine. They have no more joy. So, what was supposed to be the happiest day (uh, week) of their lives is about to get… real bad. Honeymoon’s over before we even got there. They have no.more.joy. Ever been there? There now? Yeah, I get that.”

December 10, 2025 #95- Peace Rules: Setting & Resetting Your Mind
We’re in the thick of it now! December! Phew, brace yourself. My car said it was -3 degrees today, and that’s…well, that’s not making my weary world rejoice. But our Advent Remembers series is.
So join me to chat about peace. Let’s warm our souls and thaw our toes together.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
"It’s searching your heart, your thoughts, dividing between soul and spirit. In the messy places, you’re finding a treasure trove of His word under the “couch cushions” of your life. The stuffed “closets” of your mind start overflowing with Christ-like thoughts and actions, clearly not of your own. I’ve heard it said that the peace of Christ rules, where the word of Christ dwells."

December 03, 2025 #94- Hope Floats: Finding Hope When All Feels Lost
The holidays are here! Bring on the extra. The extra goodies, gifts, and a little bit of the “Grinch-ies” too! It’s a lot, right?
Stick with me as we start our new series: Advent Remembers with a tricky little topic called Hope. It can feel like a life-line...or a swear word some days. So, let's chat.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
“But situations often seem hope-less, definitely not hope-full, and trying to stay hopeful is wearying. Hope is kind of its own animal, running parallel often times with grief. It can sting extra hard during those “magical” seasons. There’s a reason Elvis croons out “Blue Christmas”. And for some of us, it is, or certainly feels, like a Blue Christmas. But Romans 15:13 assures us that God is a God of Hope. And God’s really good at sharing. So, is it true? Does Hope Float?”

November 26, 2025 #93- God Includes Everyone: When All Roads Don't Lead To God
I never thought I’d be gardening the end of November…in Michigan. Yet, here we are. Oh, not that type of gardening. Genesis 3, Garden of Eden, gardening. I never thought we’d be in Genesis 3 for the last couple months. But I’m not hating it. Per usual though, I could do without the snake. Gross.
But it’s time. Time to wrap up our series “Did God Really Say?” We’ve disentangled those sneaky, subtle lies that ol’ serpent’s been slithering into our thoughts, behaviors, and theology. So, let’s finish with one last whopper.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
“God invites any and every one back because the Gospel is the most inclusive invitation you could find. He set the table. There’s a place setting just for you and just for me. But that does not mean any and every one accept that invite. Some will say yes, and many will say no. That is their decision, and as painful as that is, God will honor that decision.”

November 19, 2025 #92- Thou Shalt Not Judge: Well...Yes and No
Are you ready for a fun one? We’re almost to the end of our series: Did God Really Say? And oh man, did I save a good one for us! “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” Come on, who doesn’t love a good finger-pointing? (Eye roll!)
Culture tells us if we hold to any kind of Biblical Truth, we’re judgmental bigots. And when we mess up (which we always do!), we’re hypocritical frauds. So, is there a place for judgement? Or is it really, “Who am I to judge?” Let’s untangle this doozy together.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
“And what does God do? Yell? Drop his face in disappointment? Shake his fist with frustration? No. God invites them into conversation. God talks with them- not to them, with them. God invites them in, closer- into conversation, into dialogue with him.”

November 12, 2025 #91- Love=Acceptance: That Math Ain't Mathin'
Well, it happened. I was baking some sourdough pumpkin cinnamon rolls this weekend, and I botched them up. I didn’t take the time to read all 5,623 steps, and I started at the wrong spot.
Apparently, starting points are pretty important. And that’s what we’ll chat about in this episode of our series: Did God Really Say? Let’s tackle another whopper of a tale that tricks us into believing: Love=Acceptance.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
“You see, when the starting place is love=acceptance, anything less than total acceptance can’t be love. Yet, that logic is inconsistent. If I don’t accept this starting place, the only way to agree is for me to change. But I thought, “If you want to change me, you don’t actually love me.” See what I mean? We just go round and round. So, there must be another way. There is.”
