127 | How to Keep Your Faith Alive During the Holidays: Hebrews Will Encourage Your Soul

Find the full episode here >>> LivingOnPurposeInChrist.com/blogWhat if wonder didn’t fade after the Christmas lights come down, but deepened with every step you take? We open Hebrews and find a breathtaking view of Jesus: the Word of God, the great high priest, and the source of joy that steadies real life in a busy season. This isn’t abstract theology; it’s an invitation to trade drift for devotion and hustle for holy rest.In this episode, we explore the core promise of Hebrews: Jesus offered Himself once for all. There's no more scrambling for worth or carrying quiet shame. With stories from daily life and the Hall of Faith, we show how belief turns into action through small, concrete choices—inviting a friend, forgiving quickly, choosing patience in the checkout line. Along the way, we unpack two powerful Greek words—“leitourgos” (λειτουργός)  and “teleioō” (τελειόω) —that enlarge our view of Christ as our High Priest who serves with divine purpose, authority, and devotion—the One who perfects and sanctifies believers. This Greek word study provides practical hope you can feel, right where you live.Perseverance and community tie it all together as we talk about fixing our eyes on Jesus when attention is thin, letting Scripture train our senses, and building simple rhythms that fit frantic schedules. Discover how the call to spiritual maturity shows up in our tone and habits, enriched by biblical encouragement and guided through devotions. We highlight the contrast between old and new covenants and the steady joy set before us that reframes both success and setback. If you’re longing for calm, clarity, and a faith that breathes through ordinary moments, you’ll find courage and comfort here.Ready to breathe again and grow with others?
