We’re kicking off a powerful four-part Advent series with this week’s theme: HOPE. But not hope as wishful thinking—hope as trust.

In this deeply reflective episode, Tim and Steve explore what it means to wait well. Drawing from scripture, Church history, and personal experience, they show us how waiting is actually an active, hope-filled posture of spiritual maturity.

🕯️ What’s inside:

• Why biblical hope is about trust, not optimism
• The ancient purpose of Advent: repentance, reflection, and preparation
• How early Church Fathers like Maximus and Isaac the Syrian shaped our understanding of waiting and mercy
• The role of community in keeping the flame of hope alive
• Why impatience steals our joy
• The danger of confusing wishing with trusting

📖 Featured Scriptures:
Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 40:1, Romans 15:13, Luke 1, Matthew 25

👂 Take a moment to slow down, light your own candle, and prepare Him room.
