Cultural conditioning is causing mental boundaries in Christians, preventing us from seeing our Lord the way HE desires!

Our culture is dictating how we should view God and worship Him during the holidays. But do we really want an "All American Christmas"... or do we need an All of Jesus Christmas?

Social norms have diminished full appreciation of God. Let’s rediscover the awe of God and have fellowship with a worthy Father and His Son the way HE desires this Christmas!

Using Christmas as a starting platform for discussion… we will unwrap the forgotten fullness of our Lord that's been hidden under holiday habits!  Then things get really good when we expand out to include the WHOLE YEAR!

Listen! Can you hear Jesus calling for Christmas to be more than what it is today? He’s calling for a return to love Him FULLY! Everyone from the Holy Land to the heartland, from the independent woman to the family man, from the housemaid to the handyman… when celebrating Jesus, ALL should love and imitate Christ to the fullest.

As Christians we should never lie. Especially to our children. We want them to think 'Jesus loves me' (not Santa). At night we want them to pray to God, trust God, be inspired by God, and the last thing we'd love them to say is good night GOD, falling asleep with dreams of HIM blessing them. Santa Claus has been embodied as the alchemist (or magical wizard) Satan wants us and our kids to focus on MORE than our Savior. The devil wants us distracted, but Jesus’ alternative plan is that we stay focused on Him! We'll talk about why and how.

During the ritual we all follow from about November 9 through December 25, we spend 45 days focusing frequently on a conjured character… and spend zero days aptly appreciating a righteous redeemer! Jesus always should be the main focus as reminders of him are everywhere in life. But if we're not looking, it’s hard to see Him!

Today we find ourselves in a strange new world where culture dictates how we should experience and celebrate Christ. But we’re being mislead! Culture tells us how we should honor God. But God’s expectations are counterculture. God says live HIS truth. Culture says live your truth. God says one thing. Culture says the opposite. We’re now embraced by a whirling storm of chaos and confusion desperately desiring a cerebral serenity in the storm! But what is the right thinking for a culture in chaos? The right thinking is to stop overthinking and LET GOD LEAD!

We will explore how to be still and know that He is God! He wants to show us HIS happy place, and take us way beyond the story of a simple baby in a Manger!

But the decision to experience a bigger God than ANY culture can offer… is within ourselves. It starts with us. When we seek Him and discover the verity of His vast Love, it ends with us experiencing our Lord in a much bigger way!

Cultural peer pressure is burdensome and works at reshaping and changing our mind to try and suppress our living testimony. But be resilient and encouraged! We will not be silenced as the praise in our voices rising to Emmanuel increases with a year-round Christmas spirit that hopefully… starts another Jesus Revolution that will outlive generations to come!

So don't hold back! There's no reason to hide our faith and praise behind captivating cultural traditions anymore. Read along and stand strong! Whether you're parenting teens or toddlers, or if you just want to be a woman of wisdom, or a man of faith - grab your esv study Bible.. your nkjv Bible... or whatever version you enjoy most, and follow along using God's word as the firm foundation to grow your faith in a mighty way.
