Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode invites us into the first week of Advent with a heart-level question: What if our prayers for clarity are really just our desire for control in disguise? We explore how uncertainty can actually become the very place where God draws us closer, teaching us to trust Him moment by moment instead of relying on our own understanding. 

We begin our Scripture study in Matthew 18:23–35, reflecting on the parable of the unforgiving servant and the immense debt Jesus has forgiven on our behalf — a forgiveness meant to shape how we release others as well. 

Then we step into Day 1 of our Christmas devotional, “God With Us,” remembering that God fulfilled His promise not through a conquering king, but through a humble baby who established an eternal kingdom, freed us from sin, and brought hope to a weary world. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for clarity, or unsure of how God wants to move in your life, this episode will help you rest in the truth that Jesus has already come, already saved, and already freed you.

If you’ve been waiting for clarity, wondering what God wants next, or carrying weight He never asked you to hold — this episode will breathe peace and perspective into your heart.

🎧 Tune in and let this Advent season draw you closer to Jesus, your Savior and King.
