In this powerful Advent sermon, Pastor Josh McPherson continues the “Art of War” series by unveiling ten ways Satan works to destroy your Christmas—from stirring division in families to fueling unrealistic expectations, selfishness, and spiritual distraction. Pastor Josh exposes the enemy's schemes to ruin your holidays with dysfunction and ungratefulness. This message is both a warning and an encouragement, calling believers to walk in the Spirit, guard their homes, and intentionally make Christmas Christ-centered. The devil has a plan for your Christmas — but so does God.

If your holidays are stressful, tense, or full of “dysfunction,” you are not alone.

In this special holiday episode, Pastor Josh McPherson and his wife, Sharon tackle real questions like:

- “We’re a newly married couple from broken homes—how do we plan our first holidays?”

- “Should we go to family gatherings where people openly affirm sin?”

- “What if family members refuse to repent and pretend nothing ever happened?”

- “Is it wise to invite people who mock our faith into our home for Christmas?”

They talk about:

- The difference between healthy and dysfunctional families at the holidays

- How to build new traditions and a new legacy when you come from broken homes

- When to say a clear “no” to unsafe people

- How husbands can love and protect their wives—especially from family pressure

- Why Paul says we judge inside the church, not outside

- How to set boundaries without becoming fragile, bitter, or isolated

If the holidays always seem to blow up, this conversation will help you look past the surface drama and get down to the real issues—starting with your own marriage, unity, and agreements.
