Merry Christmas, friends. Today, we celebrate Jesus embracing humanity—knit together in his mother’s womb, coming into this world as a newborn, and being swaddled and held close to his mother. Pause with us today and this week to reflect on this extraordinary mystery, one that transcends any greeting card scene, holiday movie, or glittering Christmas tree. We hope that this offering helps you take a breath and reconnect with the gift of Christ, God with us, who knows what it’s like to be human like us.

Kayla’s newest book, Every Season Sacred, is out now! This book is an invitation to ask big questions, embrace faithful rhythms, and experience God’s mysterious, loving presence together. Get your copy of Every Season Sacred here or wherever books are sold.
