🎙️ When It’s More Than You Can Handle - A Special Holiday Message for the Hurting

🎧🎄This is a special holiday message for anyone who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, grieving, or quietly holding on by a thread.

During a season that celebrates joy, many are carrying loss, loneliness, financial strain, heartbreak, or the weight of a year that stripped more than it gave. This episode gently addresses the often-misquoted phrase “God won’t give you more than you can handle” and brings biblical clarity, compassion, and hope to those who feel like life has become too heavy.

Through Scripture, prayer, and pastoral reflection, this message reminds listeners that reaching a breaking point is not failure—it is often the place where God carries us most closely. You are not weak for feeling this way. You are not alone. And your story is not over.

This episode includes a prayer for those who feel hopeless, lost, or weary, and offers space to breathe, rest, and remember that God is with you—step by step.

If you’re hurting this Christmas, this message is for you.
