In this Soul Respite episode of Rise Up & Radiate, we slow down and return to the familiar and sacred story of Jesus’ birth. This is not a teaching, but an invitation to rest—to pause, breathe, and allow Scripture to minister to your soul as the Christmas story is read aloud from Luke 2:1–20.

As you listen, let the Word wash over you. Notice any phrase, image, or moment that gently draws your attention—the manger, the angels’ song, the shepherds’ awe, or the quiet miracle of God choosing to come near. There is no pressure to analyze or understand; simply receive. This is a moment to reminisce, reflect, and make room for wonder.

May this reading remind you that our King was born in humility and love, bringing light into the darkness and peace to weary hearts. As you return to your day, carry this truth with you: Emmanuel—God with us—has come, and His presence is still near.

In this Soul Care episode of Rise Up & Radiate, Ivory speaks to the tender tension of navigating grief during the holidays, when joy and sorrow often coexist. While the season may feel merry and bright, grief can quietly surface through sadness, irritability, exhaustion, loneliness, or a sense that something is missing. This episode offers permission to be honest about what you’re feeling without shame or pressure to “be okay.”

Drawing from Isaiah 53:3–5, Ivory reflects on Jesus as the Man of Sorrows, unpacking how He willingly stepped into every form of human suffering. Grief and sorrow are not signs of weak faith—they are part of the human experience that Jesus understands intimately. Emmanuel, God with us, meets us in the middle of pain and invites us to bring what feels heavy into His care.

This episode invites listeners to practice soul care through honesty, reflection, and listening for the Holy Spirit’s gentle voice. Healing begins when we acknowledge what’s real and allow God to meet us there. You don’t have to carry grief alone—and God is still working in your story.

In this gentle Soul Reset episode, Ivory invites you to pause, breathe, and tend to your soul—especially if the holiday season is stirring grief alongside joy.

Through scripture, prayer, and compassionate reflection, Ivory reminds us that grief is not something God avoids. Jesus is described as a Man of Sorrows, acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3–5), and because of that, we are never alone in our pain. He didn’t stand at a distance—He stepped into it, carrying what we were never meant to hold by ourselves.

This episode creates space to acknowledge the many forms grief can take: the loss of a loved one, unmet dreams, broken relationships, health challenges, financial strain, loneliness, or the quiet ache of disappointment. You’re invited to name what feels heavy, bring it honestly before God, and receive peace, hope, comfort, and strength in His presence.

Ivory closes with a powerful declaration and blessing—anchoring listeners in the truth that Emmanuel, God with us, is walking with them through every valley, holding what feels too heavy to carry alone.

This Soul Reset is for you if:

• You’re navigating grief during the holidays
• You feel both joy and sorrow existing at the same time
• You need reassurance that God is near and not finished with your story
• You’re longing for hope, comfort, and peace that steadies your heart

Take a deep breath. You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken. You are held.

🎧 Listen, breathe, and let this Soul Reset gently restore your spirit.
