What happens when the joy of Christmas becomes a burden rather than a blessing?
Author Lanier Ivester joins us to reveal how learning to set priorities can transform your holiday season into a peaceful and purposeful celebration. Reflecting on her own journey from a fervent Christmas enthusiast to someone who practices mindfulness and balance, Lanier shares insights from her book, “Glad and Golden Hours,” on cherishing moments that matter most and infusing your celebrations with God’s presence and peace.
Lanier and I tackle the challenges of maintaining joyful experiences while dealing with the pressures of social media and hectic schedules. Together, we highlight the importance of creating a margin and stepping away from the digital noise to rejoice in the simple joys of Advent.
Through shared stories of sorrow and joy, we explore the intrinsic ties between these emotions in the Christian faith, echoing the message that our grief can amplify our joy.
Tune in to discover how we can all find peace, purpose, and intentionality in celebrating Christmas and Advent.
