Show Summary: During the Christmas season, moments of joy and celebration are often paired with the mess and stress of hosting and traveling. It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of the holiday without stopping to think about the real reason for the season. Trillia Newbell wants to help people behold the Lamb of God this Christmas season through different practices that can fit in between baking Christmas cookies or wrapping gifts. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they explore these different practices with Trillia during this special God Hears Her Christmas episode!
