Life doesn’t become richer by adding more—it becomes fuller when we learn to let go. Simplicity shapes our hearts, loosens the power of money, and redirects our hope to Jesus. This is the path to joy, contentment, and a life grounded in what truly lasts. CHRISTMAS Unhurried | Practice 3: Simplicity - Joy (Shepherds' Candle) | NIV Luke 12:15 | Audre…

Christmas can feel like a race we’re already losing, but Jesus calls us to slow down.

20:49Some lows last twelve years. Others hit without warning. In this message, we look at two people whose lives had reached their breaking point—yet they discovered that Jesus is interruptible, near, and powerful even when everything seems lost.
