Christmas is here—and with it comes joy, family gatherings, complicated conversations, grief, generosity, and the pressure to “do it all.”

In this heartfelt and deeply practical episode of Living Well with Dee & Jenn, Dee Hillman and Jennifer Hammock invite listeners into an honest, faith-centered conversation about how to experience a full and faithful Christmas without losing your peace—or your witness.

Together, they explore what it looks like to:

• Keep Christ at the center when family dynamics are complicated

• Let your peace speak louder than your opinions

• Hold joy and grief at the same time without rushing past either

• Practice generosity as a posture, not a performance

• Set loving boundaries without guilt

• Make room for stillness in the middle of a busy season

• Remember that your witness is not about winning arguments, but reflecting Christ

Rooted in Philippians 4:5—“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.”—this episode offers wisdom, humor, tenderness, and real-life practices for protecting your peace, honoring your emotions, and experiencing the nearness of Christ this Christmas.

Whether you’re navigating family gatherings, missing loved ones, feeling stretched thin, or simply longing for a calmer, Christ-centered season—this conversation is for you.

🎄 May you be generous without exhaustion, honest in your grief, gracious in your relationships, and intentional with your rest.

Joy doesn’t always arrive wrapped in perfection—and it doesn’t wait for life to calm down.

In this Advent-season conversation, Dee and Jenn reflect on how God meets us with joy right in the middle of ordinary, busy, and even heavy moments. Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and the story of the shepherds at Jesus’ birth, they remind us that joy is not dependent on circumstances—it’s rooted in Christ’s presence.

You’ll hear honest reflections about:

• Letting go of the pressure to “manufacture” holiday joy

• Why joy may look different from past seasons

• Finding joy in stillness, laughter, community, and the mundane

• How busyness and comparison dull our awareness of God’s gifts

• Receiving joy as a gift rather than striving to create it

This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, resist comparison, reconnect with community, and remain curious about where God may surprise you with joy—right where you are.

✨ Joy grows when we make room for God’s presence.
