Welcome back! I am your host Dawn Simmons and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are going to talk about how to remain focused on the Holy Spirit during all these holiday season distractions. This time of year can be such a blessing as we come together with family and friends and begin a new year, but it can also be such a distraction in our time with the Lord. With planning we can keep ourselves from becoming overwhelmed with what is “required” of us and plan for 2024.
