We're doing a little mini series here on the podcast to celebrate the season to fix our eyes on Jesus, truly, and what it means to center the whole busy season that can often be overwhelmed by consumerism and by all these events and actually just like rain it in and bring us back to what it looks like to focus on the good news that Jesus came as a baby and is our hope.

And today we're really centering on family today.

0:55.4

We're talking about what it looks like to keep Christ at the center of your family, how to
