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.

This special “on the road edition” was recorded while driving home from Houston after Thanksgiving. With the hum of the highway in the background, we shared reflections on gratitude—what it means in everyday life and how it shapes our perspective. Toward the end, our 18-year-old son Jackson joined the conversation, adding his own voice and insights to the journey. It’s a heartfelt, family-centered episode that reminds us that gratitude travels with us wherever we go.

Prayer isn’t optional—it’s the lifeline of our relationship with God. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to devote ourselves to prayer and how to make it a daily priority. This conversation will challenge you to stop treating prayer casually and start treating it as the essential foundation of your faith.
