Hope for the Holidays: Navigating Family Stress with Faith and Love
The holidays are often a time of stress rather than rest, especially for those navigating complex family dynamics, financial pressures, or the emotional weight of gathering with loved ones. Reflecting on the challenges faced growing up in a divided family, pastor Matt Dennings acknowledges how adult life can bring its own holiday struggles. Yet, there is hope: by approaching the season with intentionality and a Christ-centered perspective, we can reclaim the true purpose of these "Holy Days." Through practical advice and spiritual encouragement, this booklet invites readers to find rest, joy, and renewal during the holiday season.
