In this week’s Advent conversation, Joshua and Noel light the third candle—Joy—and reflect on the angel’s announcement in Luke 2:10: “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Together, they explore how joy is different from happiness, why it endures even in hardship, and how it flows from the good news of Christ’s coming. Through scripture, stories, and practical encouragement, this episode reminds us that joy is both a gift and a choice. It’s resilient in trials, contagious in relationships, and rooted in the gospel that changes everything. Whether you’re weary from the season or longing for deeper gladness, this conversation will help you rediscover the strength and hope that come from the joy of the Lord.

In this week’s Advent conversation, Joshua and Noel light the second candle—Peace—and explore what it means to welcome the Prince of Peace into our lives. Drawing from Isaiah 9:6, Philippians 4, and other passages, they remind us that peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of Christ Himself.

Together, they unpack two powerful truths: Peace is a Person—Jesus Himself is our peace, steadying us in life’s turbulence; and Peace is a Choice—we must fix our hearts and minds on Him daily, trading worry for prayer and choosing to walk in His calm.

Through scripture, stories, and practical encouragement, this episode invites you to stop chasing the feeling of peace and instead embrace the Person of peace.

Advent begins with hope—but not a passive hope. It’s a living, breathing anticipation anchored in God’s promises. In this episode, we explore how hope moves beyond belief into action. Through Scripture and practical steps, we’ll discover how hope speaks life in our words, serves others with love, endures through trials, prays boldly with confidence, and looks forward to Christ’s return. From Isaiah’s prophecy to Paul’s encouragement, we’ll see that hope is not fragile—it’s resilient, contagious, and transformative. Advent reminds us that waiting is never wasted when it’s filled with expectation. Join us as we learn to live hope out loud this season, letting it shape our worship, service, and daily choices.
