EP3 | Redeeming Christmas Gift Giving

The practice of giving Christmas gifts has potential to be holy and precious, and yet somewhere along the way, we have gone astray.

  • Instead of joy, we feel stress at the prospect of figuring out what to get for so many people, not to mention paying for them all.
  • Instead of gratitude and love, our children feel a sense of let down after the last gift has been opened.
  • Instead of slowing down to turn our hearts to the Lord and savor time with our families during the holiday season, we rush and bustle.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

In this episode, we consider what it means to slow down, spend less, and yet give more (of what actually matters) this Christmas.

Join us as we cut through the clutter and chaos of the season and redeem Christmas gift giving.
