Jingle Bells and Naughty Elves I J4J Podcast

If Christmas feels louder than joyful this year, you’re not alone. In this episode, we talk about what happens when celebration turns into performance — when lights, lists, and even well-meaning traditions start to crowd out Christ. We explore Scripture that calls us to encourage one another daily, not seasonally, and reflect on God’s appointed times, fulfilled in Jesus — not as dates on a calendar, but as a way of life. This episode isn’t about cancelling or policing Christmas. It’s about rediscovering joy that isn’t noisy, performative, or exhausting — but rooted in Christ. 🎧 Press play if: • Christmas feels heavier than joyful • You’re tired of the noise but still hungry for meaning • You want faith that goes deeper than one day a year 📖 Scriptures referenced include: Hebrews 3:12–13 Hebrews 10:24–25 Ephesians 4:22 Leviticus 23 Ezekiel 45:17 Isaiah 1 🤍 New episodes weekly.
