[Ep 92] Practicing the Holy Hush Instead of the Holiday Hustle: Intentionally Inviting Moments of Deep Silence

I'm not going to go on and on about the busyness of the season or why our culture has set up this way. You know what it's like. You know the pressure you feel. You also know that one of the things we miss out on when we're caught up in the holiday hustle is that it leaves us with little room to pay attention—to what we're doing, to the people we're with, and to what God is doing in our lives. Are you willing to give that up? Imagine replacing hurry and anxiety with peace and joy. Imagine having the space to recognize what is stirring within you instead of feeling like you have to shove it back down again because you've got to get on to the next thing. Imagine actually experiencing God's presence as you celebrate Christmas, Emmanuel, God with us. What might that be like for you? The truth is, you don't have to subscribe to the idea of the holiday hustle. You can practice the holy hush, instead.
