Wholehearted—Loving God With All Your Soul

Peace isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind as we enter the holiday season. And yet, Isaiah 9:6 is the promise that the Prince of Peace is on the way. This Prince—Jesus—is who we celebrate at Christmas. How might you need to receive the gift of peace this season?

Christy and Melanie are joined with special guest Dorena Williamson to talk about how a  wholehearted mom shows up believing God’s truth, letting it shape her life and mothering (and Christmas celebrations), and renew her soul.

More about Dorena: Whether it’s in the Bible, books, or on the big screen, Dorena loves a good story! It’s a part of why she is so passionate about the stories she tells in her writings and teachings. Whether it’s on a large stage, in her home, or in her community, Dorena loves bringing the story of God alive by partnering with him to build his diverse kingdom.
