Hi, friend. I'm so grateful you've joined me on the Jesus Over Everything show. If you haven't heard the news, we have gone retro this summer. For the months of June and July, we are featuring our five word prayers daily. The show, this show started as, and so many of you love so much, five-minute podcast shows on topics of all kinds, the short inspiration you need for every day of the week.

So enjoy these shows, keep listening all summer, and see you right here back in August for a

powerful season six.

Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week daily devotional where we share the

word, prayers,

in our heart. I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust

and pray will be five minutes well spent. Less chaos, more Jesus. That's what my guest, Becky

Kaiser, the founder and CEO of Sacred Holidays, is offering in her new book, Sacred Holidays,

today. Goodness, don't we all want

that? It's really what this ministry Sacred Holidays does, and I love being a small part of that,

actually, as a contributor this year into the Advent study put out by Sacred Holidays, he is,

which so many of you are doing right now, actually. This wife, mom, and author loves the word

and loves to equip women in the word

and help them live that out.

And that's a great love of mine too.

So it brings me even more joy to welcome Becky Kaiser to our show today.

We're ready for your friend.

Let's go.

Until a few years ago, I felt like every time the holidays rolled around that I would turn

into the 13-year-old version of myself, tell me that some of you can relate to this, that

even though I loved God, even though I loved the holidays, and even though I love my family,

I would lose my mind that somehow I get caught up in the whimsy and the chaos of the holidays.
