Summary
Do you want your children to fully grasp what Christmas is all about? How fruitful was the last Christmas season for your family? Too often for parents there’s a lot of pressure coming at them from different directions that hurts their ability to keep Christmas focused on Christ; for it to be a season rich in family discipleship. Angie shares the great number of pressures on moms and gets transparent on challenges she’s experienced and Isaac shares a few as well. In the second half of this episode they give three practical keys to experiencing less pressure and encouraging a greater focus on Christ during Christmas. A powerful episode to help both the husband and wife work as a team to recalibrate the Christmas season.
