If the family group chat is already testing your salvation before the turkey’s even thawed, you’re not alone.

Some of us aren’t feeling merry or bright this year—it’s giving messy and bothered while the enemy’s out here trying to turn a holy celebration into a whole holiday crisis.

In EPISODE 2 of the Still Holy, Still Healing Holiday Series from Roads, Rocks, Weeds & Soil: The Radio Edit for ICU Radio 97.3, host Natasha Elaine and licensed therapist Psalm McDaniels unpack how to stay holy and keep your peace when the people you love… are also the ones who can work your last nerve.

✨ What You’ll Hear:

• Why God never asked us to perform peace—He invited us to walk in it

• How to set boundaries with family, in-laws, and “ain’t-laws”

• What a faith-filled “No” sounds like

• How to end guilt trips, people-pleasing, and drama fatigue

• Why acceptance ≠ approval

• The truth about emotional triggers and family dynamics
