Happy Advent, friends! We’re officially entering the season of twinkle lights, hopeful waiting, and the annual debate of which Christmas movie is supreme—yes, Muppet Christmas Carol, we’re looking at you. I’m actually flying back to the States today, so thanks for tagging along on my UK adventures these past few weeks. Before I leave the land of tea and overachieving crosswalk etiquette, we’ve got one last travel-themed Featured Find for you—perfect if you’re planning a trip, or if you just want party-trivia bragging rights. This week’s episode is packed with fun things to do around Atlanta, including History on the Rocks: Holiday Cheers, a Holiday Movie Trivia night, Formation Friday, Sips Under the Sea: Holidays at the Aquarium, the CTK/HSYAM Christmas Party, and the SBYA December Social. Our Featured Find takes us to the Jane Austen Centre in Bath—a must-visit for book lovers, costume enthusiasts, and anyone who’s ever secretly wished Mr. Darcy were real. We’re also rounding up job and volunteer opportunities from First Baptist Roswell and Ora et Labora Counseling, plus an Honest to God episode highlighting a powerful conversion story. And of course, our Sunday Sermon Series brings you quick, thoughtful highlights from Fr. Mike Schmitz, Archbishop Hartmayer, Andy Stanley, Grant Partrick, and more—each unpacking the hope, urgency, and joy of the Advent season. It’s your five-minute, faith-filled guide to living with purpose, warmth, and a little seasonal sparkle—brought to you with a bit of AI assistance and a lot of heart. Don’t forget to download, follow, and subscribe so you never miss what’s happening in the city (or wherever we wander next!).
