Let’s Talk About Your Real
Holiday Questions.

A NEW ARTICLE SERIES FROM RISEN MOTHERHOOD

strains of the season

How much is too much to spend on Christmas presents? 
Does every Thanksgiving dish have to be made from scratch? 
What do we do about Santa Claus? 
Should we let our kids stay up late on New Year’s Eve?

Mom, we know how stressful the holidays can be. If you’ve ever wondered how the gospel shapes our practical thinking on these questions and more, we’re so excited to share our Strains of the Season article series with you.

In this series, we’re taking a closer look at what it means to pursue faithfulness and live in light of the gospel when our to-do lists are filled with the real, everyday demands of the holiday season. Family frustrations, shopping, Santa, cold and flu season, winter blues—we’re tackling it all! As we like to say often here at R|M, the Bible really does provide the framework we need to answer our questions in modern motherhood.

THE STRAINS OF THE SEASON SERIES KICKS OFF MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH.
