Ever found yourself grappling with the commercialization of Christmas, struggling to keep Christ at the heart of your celebrations? In our latest episode, we explore this challenge with an inspiring conversation with Kathryn McAdam, the host of Unstoppable Joy. We delve into some practical tips for maintaining a Christ-centered focus during the holiday season - from breaking free from the pursuit of holiday perfection to cherishing nostalgic traditions like family caroling. Kathryn also shares a unique idea of limiting gifts to three as a nod to the presents Jesus received, and crafting an advent calendar that tells a story.
But, the holiday season isn't always joyful for everyone. Kathryn bravely opens up about her personal experiences with addiction and loneliness during this time, offering comforting advice on finding solace and joy, even in the face of challenging circumstances. The conversation takes a turn as we touch on the heartwarming practice of gratitude and serving others as a way to truly appreciate our blessings. As Kathryn recounts her life journey and love for Jesus, her testimony is a poignant reminder of how trials and tribulations can be blessings in disguise. So come along and join us in our quest for a Christ-focused Christmas season, finding joy in the trials, and serving others with gratitude.
