Hey there, friend!

Pastor Blake here with a special invitation to our latest True Hope Collective Podcast episode:
“Post It: Let Go of the Show This Christmas—Why Jesus’ Humble Birth Matters More Than Ceremonial Appearances.”

In this conversation, we take a closer look at Hebrews 10:5–10 to uncover one profound truth:

Christ’s birth shows us that God values humble obedience above ceremonial appearances.

Why This Episode Matters

• Rediscover how Jesus’ humble arrival in a manger challenges our holiday culture’s obsession with “looking perfect.”

• Learn to let go of showy distractions and embrace God’s call to heartfelt obedience this Christmas.

• Walk Away with an actionable step to simplify your Christmas focus and honor Christ’s example of humility.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the need to create a flawless Christmas experience, I believe you’ll find genuine hope and refreshment here. I’d love for you to join in and discover how Jesus’ birth can radically redefine our approach to the holidays.
