Christmas Survival Guide: Finding Hope When the Holidays Are Hard

This Sunday night on Crossroads with Clayton King, we have a special treat as Pastor Clayton welcomes his wife, Sharie King, into the conversation. Together, they explore what Scripture really teaches about the celebration of Jesus’ birth—and how the hope of Christ speaks directly into the struggles many face during the holiday season.

In “Christmas Survival Guide: Finding Hope When the Holidays Are Hard,” Clayton and Sharie tackle the realities that often go unspoken this time of year: grief that resurfaces, loneliness that feels heavier, family tensions, and the pressure to “be merry” even when life is overwhelming. Through honest dialogue, biblical wisdom, and practical encouragement, they remind us that Christmas isn’t about perfection—it’s about the Savior who stepped into an imperfect world.

Whether this season fills you with joy or brings up emotions you didn’t expect, this episode will help you breathe, reset, and remember the steady hope found in Jesus. You’ll discover how the story of His birth offers comfort in hardship, peace in chaos, and light in the darkest moments.

Join us Sunday night at 6:00 on The Light FM as we re-center our hearts on the true meaning of Christmas and find renewed hope for whatever this season holds.
