26:44

In a world where everything feels like a war zone—Instagram comment sections, dinner tables, even just interpersonal relationships—how are we ever supposed to find peace?

Episode 46: Advent For Rookies - Hope 32:46

1M ago32:46

32:46

I’ll be honest, I haven’t always understood Advent. Traditionally, our family celebrates with a Trader Joe’s chocolate Advent calendar. So I want to dive into what Advent is—beyond the chocolate. What is Advent? Why would we celebrate it? Is it something that non-Christians would want to celebrate? I don’t think I’ve celebrated Advent since I was s…
