When Holidays Are Hard with Amy Waters

We covered it all, from unmet holiday expectations to weightier stuff, like gathering together after the loss of a loved one. Amy offers us lots of tips from her perspective as a counselor, and of course, she points us to the hope we have in Jesus as we’re in the thick of the holiday season.
Confession and Conflict with PaToya Hall
On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, we chatted with my friend PaToya Hall about confession and conflict. We covered it all, from how the Gospel enables us to walk in confession and conflict without fear, to our own personal mistakes in confrontation. PaToya shared how God brought her from being fearful of conflict to approaching others in love because of her confidence in God. We really think you will find this episode to be a helpful tool in the relationships you're building within your local church, with family, and with friends for the glory of God.
