Episode Synopsis

✨ Simply Christmas: Choosing StillnessA Different Podcast December SeriesDecember is here, friends — and this month looks a little… well, different. Summer is taking a much-needed Sabbath (we love her, we bless her, we’re letting her rest like the responsible adult we aspire to be), so Tiffany is flying solo with a brand-new series: Simply Christmas.If your December calendar already needs prayer, if your soul feels the swirl, or if you’re just craving a Christmas that’s actually about Christ — this episode is your exhale.We dive into what it means to find peace on purpose in a season that tries to steal it. Tiffany unpacks:How the first Christmas was breathtakingly simpleWhy we’ve turned December into a sprint we never signed up forThe pressures that drain our joy (financial, time, emotional)What Scripture actually invites us into during the holidaysWhy Jesus Himself modeled quiet, margin, and retreatHow to choose stillness without abandoning real lifeThis is your gentle nudge — and your spiritual permission slip — to slow down, breathe deep, and make room for the Savior who still shows up in the simple.Matthew 11:28 — “Come to Me, all who are weary…”1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast your anxiety on Him…”Psalm 46:10 — “Be still and know that I am God.”Peace isn’t found in doing more — it’s found in doing less on purpose.You don’t have to overspend to honor Jesus.You get to steward your time (your calendar is not your boss).Jesus modeled stillness because we need it.A simple Christmas is often the most worshipful one.We’re slowing down.We’re choosing Presence over pressure.And we’re rediscovering the beauty of a Simply Christmas together.Next week: Episode 2 — Finding Joy When Expectations Don’t Match Reality (aka the episode that will step on the toes we didn’t know we still had).Email us anytime at [email protected] — we’re here for you in every season.
