contact.godlyhabits@gmail.com
EPISODE 21
Peace becomes possible when we set down what isn’t ours to carry — and turn our gaze from the urgent and noisy back to Jesus, one moment at a time.
In this devotional-style episode for Christian women navigating holiday stress, we turn to Exodus 18 to see how Moses handled burnout, overwhelm, and carrying more than God asked him to. We explore how to calm the holiday chaos, reduce stress, create healthy boundaries,
outsource wisely, and return to a rhythm of peace and presence. If you’re longing for a holiday that feels grounded, purposeful, and centered on what matters most, this gentle teaching will help
you release what God never asked you to carry.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
• How Moses’ burnout in Exodus 18 mirrors the emotional load women carry during the holidays
• Why wise boundaries and shared responsibilities are biblical, not selfish
• How to reduce stress by saying no, doing less, and protecting what matters
• How outsourcing (Jethro-style) brings peace, not guilt
• A tender real-life story of a simplified Christmas that brought deeper joy
• How shifting your approach can bless your whole family
Reflection (Quick Win)
This episode ends with a guided moment to help you pause before you step into the holiday season.
It’s designed to give you:
• Clarity on what truly matters to you this year
• Courage to say no to what drains your peace
• A sense of permission to do less without guilt
