About this listen
Christmas is meant to be a season of joy, celebration, and deep connection, but for many families it becomes stressful, disappointing, or emotionally heavy. In this episode Brandon and Susan walk through 7 common Christmas traps that quietly steal our joy: unrealistic expectations, greed, comparison, relational tension, nostalgia, and grief.
QUESTIONS:
- How have expectations impacted your past holiday experiences, both positively or negatively?
- Where do nostalgia or grief tempt you to miss what God is doing now?
- What practical steps can you take this year to keep Jesus at the center of Christmas?
