When the Holidays are Hard with Kristyn Perez | Ep. 42
On today’s episode, we welcome Kristyn Perez back on the show. Kristyn is a fellow member of The Daily Grace Co. team, and she faithfully leads the Lamp and Light Community on Facebook. Kristyn is wife to Ronald and mama to three. She has a master’s degree in biblical counseling from Southeastern Seminary, and she is currently pursuing her certification from the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.
In this episode, Kristyn helps us work through the reality that the holidays can be times of extra pain and friction for many people. There are a number of reasons: the loss of a loved one, broken relationships, financial hardships, unmet expectations, and more. In the midst of celebrations and busyness, the holidays can be incredibly lonely times when we feel the brokenness of this world more acutely. Kristyn graciously helps us apply the gospel to our grief and brokenness, and she offers practical tips to navigate the holiday season well.
