Shownotes

The holiday season is often a mix of stress and joy, but if you've lost someone, you might be dreading it. Bart Blair lost his teen son in 2021 and is using his experience in pastoral ministry to process through the complicated feelings of grief during the Christmas season.

Trigger Warning: Teen suicide.

Bart Blair is a pastor, author, and podcaster who specializes in church marketing and growth. Check out his new book Grief Makes Christmas Complicated and head over to his website makemoredisciples.com where you can ask Bart to pray for you through the holiday season.
