Being Intentional During the Christmas Season

Jacque Carlson, Stacy Ludwig

Christmas can be filled with all the joy of the season but sometimes the true meaning of Christmas gets pushed aside unintentionally with all the fun things we try and do. Join Stacy and Jacque as they talk about how to walk through the season a little more intentionally. The ladies discuss ideas to help you plan and respond to everything coming at you a little less. They discuss ways to consider what you want the season to look like and how to keep it about Jesus. ============================= Resources ============================= Kids Books 📖 Advent Story Book: 24 Stories to Share Before Christmas by Antonie Schneider 📖 An Orange for Frankie by Patrica Polacco 📖 I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day by Lloyd and Karmel Newell 📖 Jotham’s Journey series by Arnold Ytreeide 📖 Joy to the World: Christmas Stories From Around the Globe by Saviour Pirotta 📖 Let There be Light” by Illustrated by Jane Ray 📖 The Christmas Blessing by Erin Guendelsberger 📖 The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado 📖 The Legend of the Candy Cane by Lori Walburg 📖 The Tale of Three Trees by Angela Elwell Hunt 📖 The Three Gifts of Christmas by Jennie Bishop Family Advent 🗓️ Jotham's Journey : A Storybook for Advent by Arnold Ytreeide 🗓️ Bartholomew's Passage : A Storybook for Advent by Arnold Ytreeide 🗓️ Tabitha's Travels : A Storybook for Advent by Arnold Ytreeide 🗓️ Family Advent Devotional by Matt & Lauren Chandler Devotions 🙏 Emmanuel by Ruth Chou Simons 🙏 In the Lord I Take Refuge by Dane C.

It feels like the topic of sexual identity is more prominent now than ever. People are discussing it, our kids are asking about it and people are struggling now with it more than ever. The question is how do we love each other the way Jesus would want us to love while discussing these questions and choices. Join Stacy, Jacque, and special guest Jeff Baxter, the Next Gen Pastor at Mission Hills Church, as they discuss how to handle these conversations in a healthy way. ============================= Resources ============================= Books: 📚 Living in a Gray World: A Christian Teens’ Guide to Understanding Homosexuality | Preston Sprinkle 📚 People To Be Loved: Why Homosexuality is Not Just an Issue | Preston Sprinkle 📚 Embodied: Transgender Identities, The Church and What The Bible Has To Say | Preston Sprinkle 📚 What Does the Bible Really Teach About Homosexuality? | Kevin DeYoung 📚 Go and Grow: 5 Keys to Moving Your Faith Forward and Adulting in the Real World (Student, Mentor/Parent editions) | Jeff Baxter Webpages: 📱 | https://news.gallup.com/poll/389792/lgbt-identification-ticks-up.aspx 📱 | https://www.beresfordresearch.com/age-range-by-generation/http://www.beresfordresearch.com/age-range-by-generation 📱 | https://www.prestonsprinkle.com/http://www.prestonsprinkle.com 📱 | https://www.centerforfaith.com/http://www.centerforfaith.com 📱 | https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/topics/lgbt/http://www.thegospelcoalition.org/topics/lgbt 📱 | https://www.gotquestions.org/sexual-immorality.htmlhttp://www.gotquestions.org/sexual-immorality.html ============================= Anchor + Waves: Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOST:: Jacque Carlson, Stacy Ludwig 🎉 SPECIAL GUEST:: Jeff Baxter 🎛️ PRODUCER + MIXING:: Lepard Productions 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of Lepard Productions + The Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved
