The week after Christmas can feel strangely heavy. The celebration is over, the quiet settles in, and the weight of a new year starts pressing in. In this episode, John reflects on the line from O Holy Night that hit him in a new way, “a thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,” and why this sacred pause between Christmas and New Year’s is meant for hope, not anxiety.
He challenges listeners to make a simple “holy list” with three focus points: one thing to let go of, one thing to heal, and one thing to build, so you stop trying to fix yourself through self-reliance and start letting Jesus heal what is actually broken.

Sometimes we get discouraged when our imperfect efforts fail our expectations, when in reality it is only God who can provide exactly what we need.
Join us in the pew this week as John reflects on this truth through a story about his yard in the Memphis heat, and how one sudden downpour after weeks of drought became a powerful lesson in the way God intervenes with grace.
Drawing from Psalm 63, he shows how relying on ourselves is futile, and how opening to God restores our souls—just as rain revived John's grass. You don’t have to hold it all together. God’s grace is real—ask Him to let it rain.
