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.

• 433 The Science of Gratitude

  Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!Can a simple "thank you" actually change the structure of your brain? In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Alana and Jaime bridge the gap between faith and science to explore the transformational power of gratitude. While the Bible commands us to "give thanks in all circumstances," modern neuroscience is finally catching up to explain why this is so vital for our physical and mental well-being. Jaime opens up about a recent car accident that shifted her perspective on safety and provision, while Alana shares the joy of completing a major writing project. Together, they use these personal moments to illustrate how gratitude acts as an anchor during both the highs and the lows of life, rather than just a reaction to good news. The conversation dives into the fascinating biology behind thankfulness, discussing how these practices release dopamine and serotonin, lower cortisol levels, and can literally rewire neural pathways for optimism. They also explore how these scientific findings perfectly align with scripture, specifically Proverbs 17:22, which reminds us that a cheerful heart serves as good medicine. Finally, the hosts discuss redefining the concept of living with "no regrets" and offer a compassionate look at grace during hard seasons. Whether you are naturally optimistic or currently struggling to find the light, this episode offers a gentle reminder that gratitude isn't just a spiritual obligation, but a gift designed by God to help us thrive.
