As believers, it’s easy to get caught up in lights, gifts, and traditions—but what’s really at the center of your celebration? The truth is, December 25th isn’t commanded in Scripture. The holiday itself is neutral. What matters is the heart behind it. Are we celebrating Jesus, or just following cultural norms? Are our actions rooted in gratitude and worship, or performance and comparison? This season is a chance to reflect: ✨ Keep Christ at the center—through prayer, Scripture, and worship. ✨ Let traditions point back to the gospel, not distract from it. ✨ Give generously and joyfully, not out of obligation. ✨ Encourage others in their own faith journey without judgment. 💬 Share in the comments one intentional thing you’re doing this season to keep your heart focused on Jesus. Let’s inspire each other to celebrate with freedom, not fear—and to let every tradition point back to the Savior. Because at the end of the day, it’s not the holiday that saves—it’s the heart that follows Christ. https://youtu.be/nrnpz562MHI?si=Vsr6k43VZd0b4a2c

It could be a conversation, a quiet moment, or even just the fact that you woke up this morning. 💬 Drop ONE thing you’re grateful for today in the comments. Let’s fill this space with gratitude and encouragement for each other! Remember: every small moment of thankfulness is a spark that can light up your whole week. 🌟

This week’s devotional is one of the most powerful we’ve released yet. It asks one simple question: “How close do you want to be to God?” Inside, we talk about how God isn’t distant, far-off, or passive — He is a Father who invites us to draw near. From Moses to Joshua to the early church, the ones who walked in faith weren’t the ones who just saw miracles… they were the ones who chose intimacy. This devotional will challenge you, stretch you, and remind you that the throne room is WIDE OPEN because of Jesus — and God is waiting for you to come close. ❤️🔥 ✨ The full devotional is now live inside the classroom and ready for you to read.

My name is Guy Jenkins and I am from New Lebanon, Ohio. God has given me strength to make it in life and I feel like I would never stop my walk with him.

What do you actually believe? Not what you’ve heard… Not what your church tradition says… Not what sounds good… But what has God Himself revealed to your heart through His Word? This week’s devotional breaks down: • Why belief comes before faith • Why revelation must come from the Father, not from people • How to guard yourself from deception in the end-times • Why real faith always starts with knowing the Word for yourself • How to build a foundation you can actually stand on when life hits If you want your faith to grow, your beliefs must be anchored in Scripture — not in opinions, emotions, or traditions. This devotional will challenge you (in the best way) to return to the Word and let God reshape your beliefs from the inside out. 📖 The full devotional is now up in the classroom. Go read it today and let God speak to you. 👇 https://www.skool.com/aaronandjulieschilling/classroom/e74d3959?md=e47dea128bd845578b4acb662d110334 When you finish, comment “REVEAL” so we know you’re digging into it! Let’s grow in truth together, family. 🙌🔥
