Part of the “Embracing the Unknown” season

This week in the All is Calm All is Bright devo we're talking about risk, hope, surrender, and pondering God's promises.

Days 8-10 of All Is Calm, All Is Bright: the manger, Immanuel, and the shepherds who were simply available when heaven broke open.

Does the Christmas story still astonish us after all these years, or have we let familiarity dull the wonder?

This week's highlights:

• Feeling the holiday squeeze already? 3 simple rhythms to protect your peace 
• All Is Calm, All Is Bright devotional walkthrough + the gentle reset busy moms need in December
• A special NICU family blessing you can join before Dec 18

Holly gets honest about grief, hope, and where she is on the “Even If / Even When” list.

Plus: 

This Christmas, we’re blessing 30 kids who have a baby brother or sister in the NICU at AdventHealth for Children (Orlando).

My daughter and son-in-law (who spent 5 straight months in the NICU with our grandson Amos in 2019) want to make sure these kids feel seen and loved as their families navigate a difficult season.

What they're doing:

• 30 wrapped gifts (toys, crafts, & books— all from an Amazon wish list)
• Gift cards for parents (gas, food, parking — the hidden costs that crush families)
• Everything delivered to the hospital December 18

Amazon Wish List → [click here]

Every single person who buys even one gift → forward your Amazon receipt to [email protected] and I’ll send you a free digital copy of All Is Calm, All Is Bright.

That simple. That beautiful.

Welcome to December. Instead of ramping up the hustle, Holly invites you to slow down and settle into wonder with the first three days of her 25-day Advent devotional All Is Calm, All Is Bright.

In this cozy, fireside-style episode you’ll hear:  

• Day 1 – Isaiah 9:6  The four names of Jesus (Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace) and why the Prince of Peace stepped into a dark-night manger so we never have to live at a deficit again.  
• Day 2 – Luke 1:28-30  How an unknown teenage girl from Nazareth was called “highly favored” — and why your worth this Christmas isn’t tied to your address, your bank account, or your perfectly curated holiday.  
• Day 3 – Luke 1:38  Mary’s life-changing yes (“I am the Lord’s servant”) and the gentle invitation to lay down our own expectations of perfect so we can pick up the true joy of surrender. 
  
  Plus a simple Fearless Faith Rhythm to carry into your week, a whispered prayer, and a little secret about a brand-new edition of Exhale that’s quietly in the works.
  
  If you need permission to hush the hustle and choose present over perfection this December, press play and let these 12 minutes feel like coffee with a friend.

The day-before-Thanksgiving chat you didn’t know you needed.

Psalm 100:5, hopeful expectation, and a cozy walkthrough of her 25-day Advent devotional All Is Calm, All Is Bright — because Christmas is basically next week this year!
Grab your coffee (or pie) and pull up a chair.

On this episode hosts Holly Newton and Dina Deleasa-Gonsar chatted with Courtney DeFeo, author and podcast host of Pardon the Mess. 

 Courtney DeFeo is a Southern girl who loves Jesus and lives to help families shine His light in everyday life. Born and raised near Atlanta, Georgia and a proud Auburn University alum, Courtney has called several places home—including Orlando, Florida (where she basically lived at the Magic Kingdom) and now Colleyville, Texas. Georgia and South Carolina still hold a special place in her heart, as that's where her family roots run deep.

Jesus has completely changed Courtney’s life, and now she’s on a mission to encourage other moms through the real, beautiful, and sometimes messy journey of faith and parenting. Whether she’s sharing practical tools, creative ideas for teaching kids about Jesus, or honest encouragement for weary moms, Courtney is all about helping families grow in faith and live with joy.

She’s passionate about finding fun and meaningful ways to put love into action and connecting women with resources that make parenting a little easier—and a lot more grace-filled.
