Mama, if you've ever lit the Advent candles with your kids just because it’s tradition—but deep down wondered, “Wait… what do these actually represent?”—this episode is for you.

Whether you're halfway through Advent or starting late (God doesn’t mind!), today we’re walking through the meaning behind each candle, why the colors matter, the scriptures connected to them, and simple ways to explain it all to your kids. This tradition is rich, intentional, and such a beautiful way to prepare your family’s hearts for Christmas.

Whether your kids are tiny or getting older, Advent is such a powerful way to slow down, point them to Jesus, and build meaningful family rhythms—without anything fancy or complicated. God cares about your heart, not your setup.
