“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given… and He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God.” — Isaiah 9:6

Christmas isn’t just about what happened then — it’s about what’s still true now.
God is with us.

In this special Christmas episode, Ash is joined by Jacquie and Shaylee for a heartfelt reflection on the year that’s been — the highs, the hardships, and the moments where God’s presence carried them through.

Together, they reflect on:

• What it looks like to experience God with us in everyday life — not just at Christmas

• Celebrating joy while still acknowledging grief, exhaustion, and struggle

• Navigating new seasons: marriage, motherhood, health, rest, and change

• Learning to slow down, release control, and trust God’s provision

• Why discipline, rest, and honesty with God matter — especially when life feels overwhelming

• How God walks with us through anxiety, uncertainty, and growth, rather than removing us from it

This conversation is raw, reflective, and deeply hopeful — a reminder that Emmanuel isn’t distant or symbolic. He is present in the middle of our mess, our joy, our exhaustion, and our becoming.

As we remember the birth of Jesus, may this episode remind you that the same God who came as a child is still near — steady, faithful, and with you in every season.

✨ God with us. Always.
