Part of the “Embracing the Unknown” season

New Year’s Eve reflection: closing Advent with “fear not,” hope in the waiting, and fearless faith for 2026. Holly unpacks Luke 1:37, the centuries of anticipation before the manger, and how God meets us in the in-between — turning long waits into deeper trust in His goodness and sovereignty.

Key moments:
- The “Even If / Even When” list for hard seasons
- Hopeful expectation as the bridge between promise and fulfillment
- A gentle “fear not” for every heart stepping into the unknown of a new year

Plus: the top struggles Christian women are facing in 2026 and an invitation to share what’s on your heart for the year ahead.

Here’s your Fearless Faith Tip as we turn the page:

Tonight, before the ball drops or the clock strikes midnight, write down one “fear not” promise you’re carrying into 2026.

Mine is Luke 1:37 — “For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Put it on your phone lock screen, your mirror, your planner.
Let it be the first thing you see every morning of the new year.

And hey — stick around to the very end of this episode.
I’ve got some exciting news to share about what’s coming in 2026.
You’re going to want to hear it. 🤍

This week in the All is Calm All is Bright devo we're talking about risk, hope, surrender, and pondering God's promises.

Days 8-10 of All Is Calm, All Is Bright: the manger, Immanuel, and the shepherds who were simply available when heaven broke open.

Does the Christmas story still astonish us after all these years, or have we let familiarity dull the wonder?

This week's highlights:

• Feeling the holiday squeeze already? 3 simple rhythms to protect your peace
• All Is Calm, All Is Bright devotional walkthrough + the gentle reset busy moms need in December
• A special NICU family blessing you can join before Dec 18

Holly gets honest about grief, hope, and where she is on the “Even If / Even When” list.

Plus:

This Christmas, we’re blessing 30 kids who have a baby brother or sister in the NICU at AdventHealth for Children (Orlando).

My daughter and son-in-law (who spent 5 straight months in the NICU with our grandson Amos in 2019) want to make sure these kids feel seen and loved as their families navigate a difficult season.

What they're doing:

• 30 wrapped gifts (toys, crafts, & books— all from an Amazon wish list)
• Gift cards for parents (gas, food, parking — the hidden costs that crush families)
• Everything delivered to the hospital December 18

Amazon Wish List → [click here]

Every single person who buys even one gift → forward your Amazon receipt to holly@shelivesfearless.com and I’ll send you a free digital copy of All Is Calm, All Is Bright.

That simple. That beautiful.

Welcome to December. Instead of ramping up the hustle, Holly invites you to slow down and settle into wonder with the first three days of her 25-day Advent devotional All Is Calm, All Is Bright.

In this cozy, fireside-style episode you’ll hear:

• Day 1 – Isaiah 9:6 The four names of Jesus (Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace) and why the Prince of Peace stepped into a dark-night manger so we never have to live at a deficit again.
• Day 2 – Luke 1:28-30 How an unknown teenage girl from Nazareth was called “highly favored” — and why your worth this Christmas isn’t tied to your address, your bank account, or your perfectly curated holiday.
• Day 3 – Luke 1:38 Mary’s life-changing yes (“I am the Lord’s servant”) and the gentle invitation to lay down our own expectations of perfect so we can pick up the true joy of surrender.
  
  Plus a simple Fearless Faith Rhythm to carry into your week, a whispered prayer, and a little secret about a brand-new edition of Exhale that’s quietly in the works.
  
  If you need permission to hush the hustle and choose present over perfection this December, press play and let these 12 minutes feel like coffee with a friend.
