What does it truly mean to embrace the essence of seasons, traditions, and memory?
As we journey through the anticipation and excitement of upcoming events, how do we navigate the delicate balance between commercialization and faith, particularly during the holiday(holy-day) season?
In this OTC Episode:
• This episode brings you a heartwarming and insightful discussion with Grant, Jerod and our special guest, Jordan, Jerod’s Bride.
• As we share our personal experiences and approaches to holidays and traditions, listen as we contemplate the way ritual shapes children and families.
• We delve into the often controversial debate surrounding the presence of Santa Claus in the festive narrative and its alignment, or lack thereof, with our faith.
• We also touch on the contentious Elf on the Shelf tradition, perfect stories, and archetypes, and the pressure they exert on our celebrations.
• As we move through the different chapters of conversation we reflect on the changing of seasons as a testament to God's rhythms in our lives.
So grab your hot cocoa and enjoy an episode that promises to be thought-provoking, inspiring, and full of Christmas warmth.
Merry Christmas Y’all!
