I don’t know a single person who hasn’t at sometime been disappointed when the holidays fell below their high expectations. As we get older, and experience more life, it’s normal to feel disappointments, heart breaks, or even deep loss at the holidays. But we don’t have to dwell there. Even though there’s a little we can do to stop the hard things from coming, we can choose how we respond.
Join Brooke and Gina as they offer biblical tips for when the holidays rob you of joy. Hop on over to Instagram to tune in, or listen below!

Is Your Heart Bleeding?
Sometimes, life makes us bleed. I’m not talking about the actual red stuff here…I’m talking about the kind of bleeding that comes from our hearts as we watch hopes and dreams blow away, relationships crumble, children’s lives fall apart, or hear words that scare us to death.
There is a bleeding that can be invisible to the naked eye. It happens on the inside. And we ask ourselves, “Does anyone see? Does anyone care? Is there a way through this crisis that won’t leave me drained of everything I love and hold to be true?”
The answer is yes. God sees. God cares. And there is a way through.
