In a season filled with sparkle, busyness, and high expectations, true joy can sometimes feel out of reach. In this episode of Held by Grace, we take a fresh look at the heart of Christmas and the joy that comes from the greatest gift-Jesus Himself. We explore what Scripture says about lasting joy, how to cultivate it in everyday moments, and simple ways to share that joy with others this week.

Grace Extended: A special call to action-find a local church or ministry in your own community and bring joy to a family or child in need this Christmas.

Wishing you the merriest Christmas! I love you and I’m so thankful to celebrate with you this year 🫶🏼🎄🥰

The holidays can be beautiful-and stressful. In this episode of Held by Grace, we explore how to experience God’s peace during the busyness of Christmas. We share Scripture, practical tips, and encouragement for finding calm, joy, and hope even in the chaos of the season.

Welcome back, friend. In this episode, we are daring to hope this holiday season. We look at the story of Mary, the sweet teenage girl who God entrusted to bring forth His son. We discuss her encounter with the angel Gabriel and even reference Amy Grant’s beautiful song “Breath of Heaven”. We discuss how God met Mary in her weariness and filled her with hope, and how He wants to do the same in us today. 🕊️

For Grace Extended we spotlight a nonprofit that provides hope for modern-day Marys, Heartbeat International. Join us in praying for their ministry this week. You can learn more at https://www.heartbeatinternational.org

Thank you for being here! See you in the next episode ❤️🎄
