Summary
If there’s anything we need these days, it’s some good news.
Can I get an amen?
Some days I find myself mindlessly searching online for some hint of good news in the midst of all the hard.
I love how Luke 2:10 very simply reminds us that the birth of Jesus is our good news.
“But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’” —Luke 2:10 NIV
Vaccines and good health are blessings we will never again take for granted, but the only lasting good news comes from the baby born in a manger all those years ago.
This week we’re praying our kids are marked by joy, which is especially fitting as we celebrate Christmas.
My friend Jonathan Pitts is joining us with encouragement on how to find joy in the midst of hardship. Losing his wife unexpectedly two years ago, he shares with us the “choice” in joy and how that guides him in parenting their four daughters.
Jesus is the only good news we need today.
Let’s have abundant joy as we celebrate Christmas and pray the same for our kids.

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, it's Cynthia with us on pardon the must today as we are praying for our kids this |
| 0:18.5 | school year. |
| 0:19.4 | It's December, and I'm going to do things |
| 0:20.9 | a little differently. I'm going to bring in a different guest each week, some of my very favorite |
| 0:25.5 | people, to talk through what we're praying over our kids. And so this week, it's Jonathan Pitts, |
| 0:30.4 | and he is chatting with us about joy. And he comes from a perspective of loss and what joy looks |
| 0:36.5 | like after losing his wife and the mother |
| 0:38.7 | of his four daughters and still finding joy, choosing joy in the middle of that. And so I'm thankful |
| 0:44.7 | to have my friend Jonathan with us. But before we get there, I just wanted to ask you to prayerfully |
| 0:49.4 | consider how you might be able to financially support pardon the mess in Christian parenting. |
| 0:54.2 | As you know, we are 100% donor funded, and the end of the year is a big time of year for |
| 1:00.1 | nonprofits like ours. It allows us to work towards next year and our budget and all that we |
| 1:05.2 | have planned to resource you in your parenting. And so if you love this podcast, if you've been |
| 1:10.0 | touched by the prayer journal, by praying for your kids, I would just ask you to consider how you could donate and go to |
| 1:16.1 | cpgiv.org. Again, cpgiv.org. Don't assume someone else will do it. I just am praying that we're |
| 1:23.0 | just blown away by the generosity of our listeners. And so if this show has touched you and you feel like |
| 1:29.4 | you are led to do so, if you would jump on over to cpgiv.org, make a contribution. And the cool |
| 1:36.8 | thing is we have a matching grant. So if you give $20, then it will be doubled for $40 to our |
| 1:42.4 | ministry. And that's up to $10,000. |
| 1:44.7 | So it's super exciting. |
