Ep. 14 Make Room for the Quieter Voices of Christmas
Does December overwhelm you? Does it get more chaotic than quiet, leaving you exhausted and desperate for December 26th? It’s barely mid-November, and twinkle lights and brown paper packages tied up with string are bursting at the seams of every store entrance and online business. It’s unavoidable. December’s glitter is upon us.
In this episode of 'Living the Grace Life,' host Jennifer Sakata discusses the overwhelming nature of December and encourages listeners to prepare for a different, quieter Christmas. Jennifer shares her personal experience from last year’s simplified Christmas, highlighting its positive impact on her family.
She discusses how to embrace a more peaceful and meaningful December by streamlining holiday preparations and focusing on the Christ of Christmas. Jennifer introduces resources like devotionals designed for families and women to help slow down during Advent. Jennifer also announces her free devotional ebook and mentions a limited-time Holiday Bundle deal.
The episode invites listeners to put aside the chaos and embrace a meaningful and serene holiday season.
