Or maybe you have conversations with a friend or family member, and they ask hard questions about your faith, and you don't feel adequate in your Biblical knowledge to respond? If that is you, you are not alone, and you are in the right place, my friend! My name is Missy Eversole, and I'm a wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and a friend who loves to grab a cup of coffee, sit around the table and talk about Jesus. For years, I didn't have the courage to speak boldly about my relationship with Jesus because I felt inadequate. In my mind, no one would care about what I'd have to say if I didn't have a degree in theology. But here's what I've learned: you don't need a theology degree to be the light for Jesus!

In today's Christmas special, Missy invites listeners into a gentle, hope-filled conversation about light in the darkness, the tenderness of grief, the joy of childhood memories, and the steady presence of Jesus who meets us right where we are. With Scripture, reflection, and even a little 1980s Cabbage Patch nostalgia, this episode offers encouragement for every kind of December heart. You'll Hear About: Why Christmas is beautiful and complicated, and why you don't have to choose between joy and grief. How Scripture reveals the heart of Christmas through the Light that still shines in the darkness. Why Jesus' invitation to \"come to Me\" (Matthew 11:28) is especially powerful in seasons of heaviness, longing, or overwhelm. Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
