Embracing Holy Interruptions: Leadership Lessons from the Christmas Story

Posted on December 23rd, 2025

Interruptions. We hate them. They mess with our schedules, our comfort, our control. But what if the interruptions in your life are actually invitations from God?

In this episode of the Emotionally Healthy Leader Podcast, Pete Scazzero unpacks how the Christmas story is filled with divine disruptions—from Mary and Joseph, to Herod, to the Magi, and even the religious leaders of the day. Each response to interruption reveals something profound about our own leadership, our spiritual formation, and the God we serve.

Pete invites you to consider:

  • What interruptions are coming your way right now?
  • Are you resisting, ignoring, or receiving them?
  • And what practices can help you stop, listen, and respond like Mary did: “May it be to me as you have said.”

This episode is a vital listen as we enter the holidays and close out the year. God is still interrupting lives—and He may be trying to get your attention.
