Jingle Bells and Naughty Elves I J4J Podcast

If Christmas feels louder than joyful this year, you’re not alone.
In this episode, we talk about what happens when celebration turns into performance — when lights, lists, and even well-meaning traditions start to crowd out Christ.
We explore Scripture that calls us to encourage one another daily, not seasonally, and reflect on God’s appointed times, fulfilled in Jesus — not as dates on a calendar, but as a way of life.
This episode isn’t about cancelling or policing Christmas.It’s about rediscovering joy that isn’t noisy, performative, or exhausting — but rooted in Christ.
🎧 Press play if:• Christmas feels heavier than joyful• You’re tired of the noise but still hungry for meaning• You want faith that goes deeper than one day a year
📖 Scriptures referenced include:Hebrews 3:12–13Hebrews 10:24–25Ephesians 4:22Leviticus 23Ezekiel 45:17Isaiah 1

Covenant Love: The Legacy You Leave Without Even Knowing It

In this episode, we go deep into one of Scripture’s most overlooked but powerful stories — the two Mephibhoseths. Two men who shared the same name, the same royal lineage, and yet experienced two completely different destinies.
And the difference started long before they were born… It began with the hearts of the men who came before them: Saul — ruled by insecurity, fear, and self-protection. Jonathan — ruled by covenant love, loyalty, and humility.
We explore how covenant love — the 1 Corinthians 13 kind — creates a legacy of blessing that outlives you… and how fear and pride create a legacy of destruction.
And most importantly, we look at what this means for your life: your relationships, your calling, your faith walk, and the way God invites you to build a life marked by covenant love.
✨ In this episode you'll hear: – Why Jonathan’s covenant love reshaped his son’s destiny – Why Saul’s fear-driven leadership left a legacy of loss – The difference between spiritual insecurity and covenant love – What it means to have a seat at the King’s table – How YOU can leave a legacy of hope and blessing – An invitation to show covenant love to just one person this week 💛

Simple Faith

In today’s episode we look at why the Gospel was never meant to be decorated, sugar-coated, filtered, or dressed up. God calls us back to a simple, pure faith—one rooted in Christ alone and His finished work on the Cross.
This episode explores how easily we tend to add “extras” to our faith: performance, pressure, rituals, expectations, guilt, comparison, and striving. But Scripture reminds us again and again that Jesus is our perfect offering—complete, unblemished, enough.
Together we look at:✨ Leviticus 2 and the beauty of simple offerings✨ Jesus as the Lamb without defect✨ What “It is finished” really means✨ Why the Gospel is grace—not gain✨ The danger of “Jesus plus / Jesus minus” messages✨ Why simplicity is true strength in Christ
If your heart has been longing for clarity, grounding, and the peace that comes from the finished work of Jesus, this episode will bless you.
Thank you for listening—and remember: Jesus is enough.

Your GPS for Everyday Choices

Ever find yourself stuck, unsure of which step to take next? Life often tests us in the small, everyday moments — the calls, the decisions, the choices that feel too ordinary to matter — but these moments reveal where our hearts are anchored.
In this episode, we explore how God leads us through uncertainty, just as He guided the Israelites with His Presence in the wilderness. Learn why staying close to God — before making any move — is the key to peace, clarity, and obedience.
Pause, listen, and let His Presence guide your next step.

Faith Amidst the Chaos

When Life Doesn't Go as Planned

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “This isn’t how it was supposed to go”?  In this episode, we talk about what it means to trust God when life goes "off-script". When the picture you had in mind looks nothing like your reality. Through honest reflection and stories from Scripture — Joseph, Moses, Ruth, and more — we are reminded that even when our plans fall apart, God’s promises still stand. If you’ve been struggling with detours, delays, or disappointment, this message is for you. It’s a reminder that your story isn’t over and God is still at work behind the scenes. Because God's promises never fail, even when our plans do.

When Words Cut Deep: Guarding Your Tongue

Our words can heal or they can harm. In this episode I explore how what we say shapes our home’s atmosphere—and how faith gives us tools to speak life instead of fear. You’ll learn: • Why words matter more than we admit • Biblical insight from James, Proverbs & Jeremiah • Actionable steps to restore your voice and your home If this sparked something in you, drop a comment, share with someone who needs it, and subscribe for more hope every week.

Change your Family? Start with Your Own Heart

Do you want to see your family truly change? It doesn’t start with them — it starts with you and Jesus. 
In this episode, we talk about how an intimate relationship with God can shift the entire atmosphere of your home. True transformation begins in the quiet place — when you seek God not out of duty, but out of love.
Learn how your personal walk with Jesus can become the spark that ignites faith, peace, and purpose in your family. Because before your children see faith in you, God wants to be seen by you.
