In this heartfelt bonus episode of the Venusian Oasis Podcast, Portia Williams opens up about a milestone moment in her parenting journey—having the courage to share the truth about Santa and the beloved Elf on the Shelf tradition with her 7- and 8-year-old children. Portia reflects on the emotional buildup leading to this decision, her fears of how they might react, and the deep conviction that guided her to prioritize their trust in her word and their faith in Christ Jesus above all else.

Through vulnerability and wisdom, Portia unpacks how seemingly harmless traditions can create confusion and mistrust in young hearts, potentially impacting their relationship with truth. She challenges listeners to reexamine their own views on these cultural norms and to consider how seeing life through the lens of truth can shape the next generation.
