Summary

Well, Thanksgiving is officially over and the Christmas season is here! But as my wise friend, Andra Pinkston, points out on today's episode at The Messy Table: "We spend the next month overspending, overeating, and overcommitting ourselves—then we expect to fix it all in January."
But, instead, what if we put ourselves on the offensive vs. the defensive? What if we prepare our hearts + minds to create life-giving boundaries, pursue financial freedom, and still cultivate a meaningful Christmas without breaking the bank?
As Andra said: "Jesus' sacrifice was too great for us to live an enslaved life."
Andra is a pastor's wife, boy-mama of three, work-from-home CPA, and a homeschooling mastermind. She and her husband, Greg, have weathered the narrow path to becoming debt-free, and she's generously sharing some of her learned insight with us today. Y'all, I love this chat and I love, love, love her. So pop in those earbuds, grab your peppermint mocha, and join us at The Messy Table!

0:20.4	imperfect stories and the
0:21.7	God who's right here working in our mess, just like Romans 828 says, God works all things,

0:37.4	So I am Jen
0:38.7	Jewel, the host of this podcast, which air is a brand new episode every other Tuesday. We're also
0:43.3	partnered with the women of my church, Life Church, because everything is better together. But wherever you
0:48.8	are, whatever city, state, country, circumstance, whatever church you might belong to, we are
0:53.9	united by the one who
0:55.5	made us, the one who sustains us. And so honestly, this is simply a chance for us to gather together
1:01.5	and get a glimpse beyond the highlight reel of social media, to listen, to hear, to allow the
1:06.8	stories of down-to-earth women to encourage us in our own trenches and also remind us of the
1:11.6	truth. These women I interview are living their lives not perfectly, but wholeheartedly
1:16.7	surrender to God's plan, knowing that his ways are even higher than our ways. And there's so much
1:21.7	wisdom to be gained just by listening. So as you know, Thanksgiving is officially over,
1:26.6	which means Christmas is right around the very next corner, y'all.
1:30.6	Even just saying that out loud makes me kind of excited and also a little panicked because we all know how much craziness can come with the holidays.
1:38.1	But I have some really great news for you and for me and you get to be the first to know.
1:42.9	This Saturday, December 1st, the Messy Table
1:45.6	podcast is releasing a five-day Bible plan on the U-Version Bible app called Remembering Christmas.
