Do you expect an uncomfortable family gathering this Christmas?

“I think that the Enemy and the World are in overdrive right now, seeking to divide people. Dividing families, dividing communities, dividing nations,” says Pastor Rob Rienow, co-founder of Visionary Family Ministries and author of the 2020 book Healing Family Relationships.

“It’s political, it’s COVID, it’s spiritual, but it’s really not  new.”

But we can do our part to be at peace with everyone.

“All of us need to go into these holiday gatherings with a spirit of humility and a spirit of neediness,” he says, “asking God to bring some peace and reconciliation that’s not really natural to any of us.”

In our 11-minute podcast, Rienow offers practical ways to contribute to peace at the family Christmas gathering.

“I think especially, with the last 24 months that the world has gone through, such fear and anxiety and division and anger, I think God wants to do something pretty special this Christmas in our families.”
