The holidays promise warmth and wonder, yet many of us carry a quiet ache: we want to feel at home again. Not the picture-perfect living room, but a deeper rest where we’re known, loved, and not performing. We dive into that longing and trace it through the first Christmas, where Mary and Joseph faced social pressure, a grueling journey, and a delivery room no one would choose—yet discovered that peace isn’t perfect conditions, it’s being exactly where God wants you.
Along the way, we share practical steps for building a life of daily obedience—prayer, Scripture, worship, forgiveness—and how those habits give us strength for heavier asks. We explore finding purpose at work when the job is not your dream, ways to bring light into tense workplaces, and why detours don’t disqualify you. The heartbeat is simple and hopeful: you are accompanied. Turn around, reach out, say yes. The Father still runs to meet prodigals, robes ready, ring in hand, party lights on.
