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 indeed amplify our joy. Lanier opens up about how personal loss deepened her understanding of faith and inspired her writing journey.
Tune in to discover how we can all find peace, purpose, and intentionality in celebrating Christmas and Advent.

What Bible Translation Should I Read w/ Tim Wildsmith
Have you ever asked yourself, "What Bible Translation should I read?"... Join us as we chat with Tim Wildsmith, a pastor with a passion for making sense of the more than 400 English Bible translations out there.
You'll gain a whole new perspective on how to choose a translation that resonates with you. Tim breaks down the various translation philosophies and the historical context that has influenced these versions. We'll walk through the enduring legacy of translations like the King James Version and how modern counterparts like the NIV and "The Message" offer fresh perspectives.
Whether you're a seasoned scripture reader or just starting, understanding these nuances can profoundly impact your study habits and spiritual growth. His insights are not just informative—they're transformational, as he guides us through the labyrinth of translation philosophies, textual bases, and the historical milestones that have shaped the way we read scripture today.
