About Josh and Lindsey

From the beginning, Christmas has been a fun and exciting time at the Helms’ home in Nashville, TN. Josh and Lindsey, the creators of The Shepherd on the Search, have looked for ways to give their two children, Jacob and Everley, a sense of the wonder of the season. Like many Christian families, they’ve found it a challenge to keep Christ and the story of that first Christmas at the center. Out of that desire came The Shepherd on the Search, a fun way to keep the family conversation focused on a young shepherd who spends the weeks before Christmas looking for God’s greatest gift, Jesus. Josh & Lindsey hope that He is the gift found by every heart!

We are in the advent season! (Started Sunday) This is a special time to prepare our hearts for Christ’s birth and the return of Christ. It’s a time of fasting, prayer, reflection & celebration! 
This can be difficult during such a busy season, we have parties to attend, shopping to do & so many distractions. 

My intent during this season is to always keep Christ the reason for the season. I especially want to foster that for my children at a young age. 
Here’s how I intend to do just that: 

1: The Giving Manger, each time an act of service or kind deed is done a piece of straw is placed in the manger. On Christmas Day baby Jesus is put in the manager that’s full of services & love. This helps shift the focus back to giving! 

2. The Shepard on the Search, the Christian version of elf on the shelf. The Shepard spends the week before Christmas looking for Gods greatest gift, Jesus. On Christmas Day he finds his way to the manager to worship baby Jesus! 

3. Family Advent Calendar, starting December 1st you open the flap to find scripture to read & a puzzle piece. On Christmas Eve the puzzle is complete. This is great to get the whole family involved. 

4. We will be reading 1 chapter of Luke every night. Luke tells the story of Jesus’s life. There’s 24 chapters. Wake up Christmas morning knowing who & why we celebrate Christmas!
