## Resource

n this special Christmas Day edition of The Weekly Recall, I get real with you about the story behind my faith and why Christmas is more than a holiday for me. I walk you through the five symbols tattooed on my hand, from Jesus coming down to his return, and how that simple picture keeps me grounded when life gets dark. I share some of my own history, the losses, the trauma, the messy Christmases, the near misses, and why I still choose gratitude, joy, and service. If Christmas hits a nerve for you, if it feels heavy, lonely, or confusing, this one is for you. We talk about honest prayer, breathing instead of barking, serving others when you feel empty, and how to hold on to hope when you feel like you are running on fumes. I end the episode by praying for you, right where you are, and inviting you into a deeper walk with the One this whole season is actually about.
