Holiday Heartache

Laura Eldredge & Nicoletta Bradley
About this episode

"All I want for Christmas is..." for this season to look different for me.

We get it. The holiday season can be so painful (even though the TV commercials and social media make it seem like everything should be perfect this time of year). Whether you are going home to family drama, grieving over an empty seat at the dinner table, or just struggling with being off your normal routine - God sees you and He understands your pain.

In this EXTENDED episode, Laura & Nico share how to navigate this season when it is not such a holly, jolly Christmas for you.
