It’s week 2 of Advent, and we’re taking a closer look at peace. What does it mean that Jesus is described as Prince of Peace? How can we lean into this peace and let it flow out from our lives as well?

Our first advent mini session is all about HOPE. Lean in with us this week as we wait expectantly for Jesus.

It’s the first Sunday of Advent and we are so excited to be entering this special season with you guys. We are doing a special schedule through Christmas so be sure to check back with us Sundays AND Wednesdays.

As we approach the holidays, and specifically Thanksgiving, we wanted to talk about how God talks about gratitude and giving thanks. We touch on several verses to meditate on, and we talk about gratitude as a practice. Choosing to see through a lens of gratitude has the ability to shift our entire life for the better - we even read through a list of scientifically proven benefits of a grateful mindset. Last but not least we have a few challenges for all of the listeners through the Holiday season.

We’re coming to you live from the UGA worship night! Anna talks about faith and trusting God with the things we’re ashamed of. We take a closer look at Mark chapter 5, verses 21-34 which is the story of the bleeding woman and her encounter with Jesus. This message is special, and it shows Jesus’ heart to accept and heal us, when we ask and when we have faith. Hope you enjoy!

This week we talk about everything from study abroad programs in Italy, to anxiety, resetting priorities, and verses that have gotten us through times of fear. “Fear Not” is the most repeated phrase in the Bible, and we dive in a little on that subject - what does it look like to hand our fears over to the Lord? How can we practice that daily?

Has your relationship with God ever felt like more of a job than a relationship? Why do you think that is? Dive in with us a little deeper on that - Anna shares a story from her childhood, and looks into the story of Mary and Martha for some perspective.

Have you ever thought about how much faith we have in the moon? We know it will keep doing its thing day by day, orbiting earth, bringing us ocean tides and signaling to us that it’s night time. We never wonder if it’s there, even when we can’t see it. After a funny conversation with my son Jones, I had a lot of thoughts about what this means about our faith. Also there’s a challenge in here that I think you’ll find really interesting and helpful, hope you enjoy!

We've all been raised on the idea of the 10 year plan - looking to what's next and striving to keep up. We all have our devices in our pockets, constantly scrolling and zoning out. As a result it’s so easy to feel hazy and hectic, rushing to what’s next and never sure what’s truly important. We crave feeling settled, but we don’t know how to get there. But what if we exercised faith in what Jesus taught & put our focus on the present? What if we sat still with God. Emily shares a mini devotional this week on the podcast.

We’ve all experienced what it feels like to wait. From being stuck in a long line, to waiting to hear back from a job, or even zooming out to big picture waiting on things like making friends or dating —it’s no fun. Most of us are wired to want answers, and to want the answers to arrive quickly. Waiting is painful because there’s so much unknown. BUT the Lord has so much in store for us during these pauses that He doesn’t want us to miss. Today on the podcast Anna as a mini devotional for any of us who are currently waiting, and those who will find themselves waiting in the future (hint…all of us). Settle in on your walk or on your drive and hope you enjoy!

We don’t have many chances in life to start completely over . But college is one of those times when all of us sort of have a blank slate. How do we lean into God to define us instead of buying into the mixed messages from our culture? We talk about everything from weeks where the smoothie spills all over the kitchen to ambulance rides and social media and a challenge for the rest of the week. Hope you enjoy!

We officially made it to week 2 of the podcast!! This week the ensemble is finally complete — our co-host Anna joined the conversation. Tune in for this fun episode full of honesty and laughter and some good solutions to combat the issue that we all face at one point or another in our lives - comparison. Also don’t forget to like and follow the podcast, and share it with your friends!
