The 2023 Christmas Gift Guide 🎁 

5 gift ideas for the people you love most, including yourself (#1 and #5 are personal favorites)!

1. The NET Bible 📖 

For the one who wants to study the Bible more in 2024 🤓 

• Ever find it hard to connect with the ancient words and cultural contexts of the biblical writers?

• The NET (New English Translation) offers a readable, everyday English translation with the largest set of translators’ notes ever created for a Bible.

My pastor recommended the NET Bible to me when I asked for something more than just a normal study Bible.

Now, I use it every week to help me understand the context of Bible passages I’m studying (many of which I share with all of you)!

2. Questions for Humans 🗣️ 

For those who want to give the gift of conversation and deeper relationships..

Ever have a conversation with someone that takes your relationship to the next level after knowing them for years? These conversation starter cards help you do just that.

What I love most about these is that they have different versions based on who you want to have conversations with:

3. Bible Verse Wall Decor 🏠️ 

For people who want Scripture to fill their home..

Deuteronomy 6 talks about the importance of writing God’s words on your heart. Part of that involves having physical reminders of His Word in our houses and all around us.

• We have some art in our dining room that has the fruit of the spirit listed on it…

  • Our 3 and 4 year olds have it memorized, and they’ve started encouraging each other to show ‘self-control’ in conversations!

  • And whenever we host non-believing friends for dinner, it sparks great conversation!

There are other sets like this one available all over Etsy and other websites, but this set includes 6 different verses and can be ordered in a few different sizes.

4. Cards Christians Like 😂 

For the friend who loves games and wholesome laughter..

• Cards Christians like launched through a Kickstarter campaign a while back and they’ve been getting great reviews.

• Imagine Cards Against Humanity met Jesus and experienced deep, transformational heart-change…That’s pretty much what this is. Clean and safe fun for the whole family or your small group.

5. The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer 🙅 

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I read it at least once a year.

John Mark is a pastor and founder of a non-profit called Practicing the Way, which exists to help people actually follow Jesus (aka spend time with him, do the things he did, and become like him).

The ideas in this book transformed the pace of our family’s life by helping us adopt the rhythms of Jesus’ life (like Sabbath and simplicity).

If you are constantly on the go and find yourself longing for the next vacation..only to realize that vacation didn’t solve the problem..

This book will change your life. I couldn’t recommend a book more highly.
