You Were Never an Afterthought: A Christmas Message on Belonging

Christmas has a way of stirring everything—joy and grief, gratitude and longing, connection and loneliness—all at once.

In this special solo Christmas episode of Hear Where You Belong, I sit with the quiet question so many of us carry this season:

Do I really belong?

Before the traditions, before the carols, before the wrapped gifts and full tables, Christmas was a declaration. A God who crossed every distance—heaven to earth, eternity to time—to make sure you would never again have to wonder if you have a place.

In this episode, I share:

• Why Christmas isn’t about perfection, performance, or proximity

• How the birth of Jesus answers our deepest belonging question

• Why loneliness often shows up during the holidays—and what to do with it

• A gentle reminder that you were seen, chosen, and welcomed long before you felt it

If December feels heavy… if you’re carrying grief, change, or unanswered questions… if you’re smiling on the outside but wondering where you fit—this episode is for you.

Pull up a chair. Take a breath.
This is your reminder that you belong—here, now, and always.
