#056: Top 5 Advent Devotions

My goal this week is to share my top 5 Advent devotions. In Western culture, the season of Advent is usually sunk under the weight of Christmas commercialism. In today’s podcast we’ll explore how to sanctify the season of Advent so that we can prepare a happy and holy Christmas.

I’ll also share some of the struggles that Joy and I have faced during the Advent and Christmas season
