In this episode of the other six podcast, we explore Philippians 4:4–7 and what it truly means to experience “peace in Christ Jesus,” especially in a season that often feels chaotic. We examine how staying connected to Jesus as our source of life alters our expectations for a “perfect” Christmas and frees us from the pressure to perform. We discuss the dangers of comparing our lives to someone else’s highlight reel and how gratitude fosters genuine contentment. We also unpack what it means to honor family and others we disagree with, following Jesus’ example of responding with grace instead of reacting to triggers. Finally, we discuss the themes of gratitude, honor, peace, and contentment, and offer a simple first step for anyone who feels far from God this Christmas.
