If you’re just so exhausted from all the “stuff” of Christmas: the consumerism, the busy pace, the well…everything of it all. OR if you’re waking up on December 26th and just feel like you “missed it,” you’re going to love today’s episode as Greg Holder and I talk about the movement, Advent Conspiracy.

In his book, he mentions “Our hyperconsumption leaves us empty. We worship less. We spend more. We give less. We struggle more.”

He then goes on to say, “ Time and nerves stretch thin, and we reduce family and friends to a card, or a resent that costs the “right” amount to prove our level of love…our quest to celebrate the mystery (…or the magic!) of Christmas exhausts us.” 

As we’re exhausted about how 🎁 consumerism has stolen Christmas, we talk about how to choose a counter-cultural way to celebrate instead:

🙏🏼Worship Fully…because Christmas begins and ends with Jesus

💸Spend Less…free up your resources for things that really matter

✋🏿Give More…of your hands, your words, and your heart

💕 Love All…including the poor, the sick, and the forgotten

🎄Will your kids get on board? Guess what…Greg talks about how kids are generally more apt to hop on more quickly than we adults are.
