Actress Jen Lilley sits down with Michael to talk about Christmas Tree—a quirky, awkward-humor holiday mystery she describes as “Napoleon Dynamite meets The Grinch.” Jen shares why this off-beat film stands apart from her usual Christmas roles, the heartwarming themes woven underneath the comedy, and the story behind her new devotional Wake Up Your Faith. She opens up about spiritual obedience, boldness in faith, and the Holy Spirit’s role in shaping her writing. The conversation also explores her upcoming Jimmy Stewart biopic role, her podcast with Billy Hallowell, and the unique journey God has her on in this season.
