About this listen

Christmas is often portrayed as joyful and full of celebration—but for many Christian women, holidays don’t always look the way we hoped they would. Unmet expectations, grief, strained relationships, or longing for what once was can quietly steal our joy. If you’re struggling with quiet disappointment and looking for peace this week, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, we turn our hearts back to Jesus and explore how prayer, Scripture, and trusting in God can anchor us when peace feels out of reach.

Using Isaiah 9:6, we take a deeper look at the powerful names of Jesus—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—and what they mean for your everyday life, not just as a familiar Christmas verse, but as a living promise you can cling to right now. If Christmas doesn’t look or feel the way you hoped it would, this conversation will gently guide you back to the source of true peace.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What it truly means that Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor
  • Why you can trust Jesus as your Mighty God
  • The comfort and security found in Jesus as your Everlasting Father
  • How to reclaim lasting peace
  • Practical ways to return to prayer and Scripture when anxiety, grief, or disappointment creep in

If Christmas feels heavy this year, listen in to refocus your heart, strengthen your faith, and renew your trust in God, no matter what this season brings.
