Christmas Message, Todd Rhoades, Church Staff

Embracing the Spirit of Christmas as Church Leaders

Christmas has finally dawned upon us. With its arrival, the Healthy Church Staff Podcast would like to thank our faithful listeners and dedicated church leaders for their steadfast commitment to ministry throughout this wondrous Christmas season, and indeed the whole year.

A Season of Joy and Demand

As joyous as it is, the Christmas season can also bring about consequential demands on our time and energy. Striving for memorable and meaningful experiences, you often put your own needs and tranquility aside. Despite the chaos, be sure to make time to reflect on the gift of God's love and the true meaning of Christmas.

A Lesson from Mary

Delving into an often overlooked part of the Christmas story, Mary's reaction holds a valuable lesson for us. Amid an unimaginable predicament, Mary pauses to reflect and ponder the unfolding mystery before her. In her stillness and contemplation, there's a powerful message for today's church leaders.

Remember to Be Still

As church leaders, our focus is often centred on doing—achieving more, serving others, and meeting their needs. Yet, sometimes it’s important to remember the simple act of being, being present in the moment, being still, and being open to the wonder and mystery the Christmas season brings. This Christmas, invite moments of pause, reflection, and ponder the miraculous significance of Christmas in your heart.

This Christmas, the Healthy Church Staff Podcast invites you to embrace the true spirit of Christmas, with the reassurance that though this Christmas may be busy, it's essential for us to take the time to reflect and appreciate the reason for our hope and celebration.

Merry Christmas and Thank You

We express our gratitude and admiration for your tirebrand credibilitypic dedication to your ministry and extend our best wishes for the Christmas season. May the upcoming year provide peace, love, and continue spreading the true spirit of Christmas within our hearts. We appreciate you and can't wait to connect with you soon. Thank you, Merry Christmas, and a wonder-filled New Year to you and your crew! Keep listening to the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, and let's continue our journey together.
