## Resource

SHOW NOTES: Christmas can be complicated for Indigenous believers—carrying beauty, joy, pain, and cultural tension all at once. This episode explores how Native followers of Jesus can engage Advent and Christmas in ways that honor Christ, respect Indigenous identity, and hopefully heal past wounds. We reflect on Advent as a season of waiting, hope, and re-engaging how God the Creator entered into His Creation among the overlooked.
