The Holidays Suck!! But...

from Resilience w/ Dawn Olivia · host Dawn Olivia

Send us Fan MailThe holidays are supposed to be joyful—but what if they hurt instead? What if you’re surrounded by lights, laughter, and celebrations, yet feel painfully alone? The questions creep in: Why me? Where is my family? Who’s going to love me? Even your children or friends may feel distant—at least in your mind—and the silence feels louder than ever.In this raw and compassionate episode, “The Holidays Suck! But…”, we sit with the truth many are afraid to say out loud: the holidays can be heavy. But they don’t have to be hopeless.Through powerful biblical reflections, we explore how God meets us in seasons of loneliness and loss. From Job, who endured unimaginable suffering yet remained held by God’s purpose, to the Woman at the Well, who encountered love and restoration in the most unexpected place, and the Prodigal Son’s father, whose forgiveness reminds us that grace is always waiting with open arms.This episode is a reminder that God cares deeply, even when it feels like no one else does—and that forgiveness isn’t weakness; it’s healing. If the holidays feel broken, this conversation offers truth, comfort, and a gentle invitation to experience love beyond what this season—or people—can give.✨ You are not forgotten. ✨ You are not unloved. ✨ And this season does not define your worth.If you’re walking through the holidays with a heavy heart, this episode is for you.This episode is sponsored by Raw Multimedia Group.
