Hello friend! Welcome back to another episode of our Unpolished Christmas mini-series. Today’s conversation is all about generosity and meaningful giving, and I’m thrilled to welcome Kristy Graham to the show! Kristy is the host of the On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse podcast, a wife, a mom, and a passionate advocate for serving others in Jesus’ name.

As we dive into the heart of the Christmas season, Kristy and I explore what it means to give gifts that truly last. From acts of service to intentional charity, we’re focusing on generosity as it’s modeled by God through Christ—who gave us the ultimate gift of Himself.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

✨ How God’s generosity through Christ transforms how we give.

✨ Why intentional, meaningful giving matters—beyond the material.

✨ Practical ways to incorporate acts of service and charity this Christmas.

✨ Ideas for creating gifts with eternal impact—both big and small.

✨ How to cultivate a spirit of generosity within your family and community.

The Christmas season can often revolve around stuff—the perfect presents wrapped in shiny paper. But when we look at the Christmas story, we see the ultimate example of generosity: God giving us His Son, Jesus, to bring hope, salvation, and everlasting life. As followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to reflect that same spirit of giving in ways that point back to Him.

Kristy shares beautiful, practical ideas for giving with intention this season—whether it’s through acts of kindness, serving others, or supporting organizations that make an eternal impact. Together, we unpack how to shift our mindset from consumerism to Christ-centered generosity.
