As Christmas approaches, it’s easy to get swept up in the busyness of the season—decorations, gifts, gatherings. But what if we chose to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the sacred meaning of this time?

In this podcast, I’m sharing a message from Luke 1:26-38, exploring four powerful lessons from Mary’s response to the news of Jesus’ birth. Her example offers us a blueprint for embracing God’s plans with trust and humility in the midst of unexpected circumstances.

This Christmas, let’s intentionally make room for Jesus in our lives, allowing His peace, joy, and love to take root and reign in our hearts. --

Do you ever feel like you don’t measure up? Like life’s challenges leave you clinging to nothing but God’s grace? It’s easy to see our struggles as the worst thing that could happen to us. But the Bible shows us that our broken places are often where God does His most transformative work. Today I want to encourage you with a message I recently shared at an event from John 21: The goodness of God when life is hard. I believe this word will uplift and remind you of the incredible grace and power of God’s love even in the most unexpected places—our weaknesses, our sins, our doubts.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, delayed, or like God’s promises are just out of reach, you’re not alone. Waiting is not just a part of the Christian life—it is the way of the Christian life. Every follower of Jesus has had to walk this road, and it’s often where God does His most profound work.

I’m thrilled to share something special with you today—chapter 1 of my new book Still Standing: Following Jesus Even When It Hurts.

I’ve written this book to inspire hope in the hearts of followers of Jesus who have encountered suffering as they have pursued obedience to Christ. Take a listen and if the message resonates with you, I’d love for you to grab a copy: https://www.amazon.com/Still-Standing-Following-Jesus-Hurts/dp/0802429971/
