New Habitude Series | Ep 1

New Year, New Habitude! Let's get our 2024 started with some Biblically-based motivation and inspiration to create and keep new Habitudes! 

Oh Holy Night

Merry Christmas Time! I'm so glad you decided to Carol Through Christmas With Me! This Caroling Through Christmas Series will compare and contrast Classic Carols with Scripture. Many of the Christmas Carols are inspired by Bible passages. Taking a moment to break down a melody to understand the period in which it was written, what Scripture it celebrates, and how we can apply these principles in our lives will give us a different perspective when we hear these songs at Christmas. I hope this helps you enjoy the season even more intentionally at Christmas! 

Ding! Dong!
