• 437 Prayerful Holiday Decorating

  Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!Disclaimer: This episode discusses holiday traditions, including some that might be spoilers for young kids. Use discretion when little ears might be listening! Is putting up Christmas lights just a chore, or can it be an act of worship? In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Alana and Jaime explore how to infuse prayerfulness into holiday decorating. Whether you deck the halls early or keep things simple due to travel, they discuss shifting the focus from aesthetics to the true meaning of Christmas found in Luke 2. Jaime shares the nostalgia of her childhood nativity, while Alana opens up about the intentionality of rebuilding her collection after a move. Together, they discuss how to approach differing cultural traditions with charity and the importance of extending grace to families who celebrate differently than you do. They also offer practical tools, such as using ornaments as "prayer triggers" and creating worshipful spaces to invite God into the holiday chaos. Finally, the hosts encourage listeners to embrace freedom in their traditions—whether that means listening to Handel’s Messiah or skipping the tree entirely. Whether you love eggnog or loathe it, this episode is a gentle reminder that the most important decoration is a heart prepared for Jesus, doing it all for the glory of God.

• 435 Medicine As a Gateway to the Gospel with Kristy Graham from Samaritan's Purse

  This Christmas season we are excited to partner with Samaritan’s Purse, our sponsor for today’s episode. This week’s guest on the Praying Christian Women podcast has seen God’s hand at work in some of the most desperate corners of the world. Kristy Graham, host of the On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse podcast, invites us into a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to bring the hope of Christ to places marked by disaster, war, and deep need, and how you can be an integral part of this ministry through the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Catalog. In our conversation, Kristy highlights one of the little-known gifts in the catalog: sponsoring a hospital chaplain. Kristy recently visited a partner hospital in Tenwek, Kenya and describes how she saw firsthand how desperately the staff and patients need chaplains. Through prayer, as well as practical and spiritual support, chaplains are making Kingdom difference as they meet people at their place of deepest need with the love of Jesus. You won’t want to miss Kristy’s moving testimonies, her contagious passion for the gospel, and some creative ways the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Catalog can make gift-giving extra special this year.
