Hello everyone! This episode comes from a personal conviction and not a place of judgement. I want to challenge all of my listeners to not focus on what society says Christmas is, but rather on what the church says Christmas is. We need to put Christianity back into Christmas. We can do that by being intentional with our prayers, with how we spend our money, and where we spend our money.

Check out Allison's books and ministry called, "Reconciled to You".
