When Family is Messy (Christmas Edition)

Juli Bevere, Addison Bevere, Messenger International, Lisa Bevere, John Bevere
About this episode

For most of us, the Christmas season means quality (and quantity) time with family!

Family can bring so much joy—but it can also surface pain, resentment, and grief, among other unwanted challenges to the holiday season.

Whether you’re hosting your extended family or traveling to visit familiar places and faces, it can be tough to navigate contentious family dynamics.

On this episode of At Home with the Beveres, Addison, Juli, John, and Lisa give you specific tools to help you grow through family mess rather than revert to ways of the past.

This episode will equip you to let things go, practice forgiveness, and show honor where it’s hardest to give.
