The holidays bring joy… but they also expose every relational tension we’ve been avoiding. In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady shares 3 essential biblical principles to help you navigate family drama, painful memories, broken relationships, and tough conversations around religion and politics.

Before you sit down at the Thanksgiving or Christmas table, take 5 minutes and reset your heart with gospel hope. Your words can bring grace. Your presence can bring peace. And Jesus can bring healing into places that still hurt.

If you’re feeling the weight of family conflict, prodigal children, loss, or strained relationships this season—this message is for you.

👉 Put Jesus on display.

👉 Celebrate who is at the table.

👉 Honestly evaluate your own heart.

God’s grace is sufficient in both the joy and the pain.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
