✨ Simply Christmas: Choosing Stillness

A Different Podcast December Series

December is here, friends — and this month looks a little… well, different. Summer is taking a much-needed Sabbath (we love her, we bless her, we’re letting her rest like the responsible adult we aspire to be), so Tiffany is flying solo with a brand-new series: Simply Christmas.

If your December calendar already needs prayer, if your soul feels the swirl, or if you’re just craving a Christmas that’s actually about Christ — this episode is your exhale.

We dive into what it means to find peace on purpose in a season that tries to steal it. Tiffany unpacks:

• How the first Christmas was breathtakingly simple

• Why we’ve turned December into a sprint we never signed up for

• The pressures that drain our joy (financial, time, emotional)

• What Scripture actually invites us into during the holidays

• Why Jesus Himself modeled quiet, margin, and retreat

• How to choose stillness without abandoning real life

This is your gentle nudge — and your spiritual permission slip — to slow down, breathe deep, and make room for the Savior who still shows up in the simple.

• Matthew 11:28 — “Come to Me, all who are weary…”

• 1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast your anxiety on Him…”

• Psalm 46:10 — “Be still and know that I am God.”

• Peace isn’t found in doing more — it’s found in doing less on purpose.

• You don’t have to overspend to honor Jesus.

• You get to steward your time (your calendar is not your boss).

• Jesus modeled stillness because we need it.

• A simple Christmas is often the most worshipful one.

We’re slowing down.
We’re choosing Presence over pressure.
And we’re rediscovering the beauty of a Simply Christmas together.

Next week: Episode 2 — Finding Joy When Expectations Don’t Match Reality (aka the episode that will step on the toes we didn’t know we still had).
