Join us in the empowering series, "Giving Up On Christmas," where we're not giving up on the spirit of Christmas, but rather shedding what hinders us from truly experiencing its joy. Last week, Matthew explored the theme of surrendering control—a powerful reminder that if it's beyond our control, surrender it. Today, we delve into one of the most significant struggles we all face during the holidays—letting go of conflict. Nothing dampens the Christmas spirit like unresolved conflicts. From pretending everything is fine to sulking in the corner, seeking fights, or recruiting allies, there are various ways we cope. Imagine a Christmas where we can truly let go, giving up the burden of conflict. Our goal is rooted in the desire for peace, a gift God wants to bestow upon us. As we explore the impact of conflict on our lives—hindering fellowship with God, prayers, and happiness—we discover the need to release these burdens.
