Overwhelmed at Christmas? The Women of the Bible Who Understand :: Mary DeMuth [Ep 553]

Overwhelmed at Christmas? The Women of the Bible Who Understand :: Mary DeMuth [Ep 553]

In this episode, author, podcaster, and speaker Mary DeMuth returns to share the inspiration behind her latest work, which spotlights overwhelmed women in the Bible—women whose stories have often been minimized or overlooked. From Mary the mother of Jesus to Hagar to the widow with two mites, these women model faith, resilience, and wholehearted trust in God.

We talk about how Christmas can be both beautiful and heavy. Mary opens up about her own seasons of overwhelm, from her water breaking on Christmas Eve to sleeping in a barn the week before Christmas. She reminds us that Mary, the mother of Jesus, lived through the deepest fears a mother can face, yet she remained faithful as a disciple. Here is some of what we cover:

  • Why Christmas often heightens grief, trauma, and unmet longings
  • The consumerism of the holiday season vs. the simplicity of God with us
  • What Shalom really means: wholehearted, whole-bodied peace rooted in surrender
  • Jesus’ care for the overlooked, the aging, and the marginalized
  • The definition of “Whelm” which refers to out-of-control stress, “overwhelmed” is that same stress amplified beyond capacity
