When life gets disrupted, our first instinct is often to protect our plans, our comfort, and our control. But in this Advent message from Luke 1, Pete walks us through Mary’s response to the most life-altering disruption imaginable—and shows us a better way forward. Mary’s story reminds us that faith flourishes when our hearts are shaped by trust instead of fear, humility instead of control, and availability instead of certainty. Through confusion, risk, and unknowns, Mary chooses to say yes to God’s invitation and her surrender becomes the doorway through which Jesus enters the world. This message challenges us to reflect on how we respond when our lives are interrupted, our plans unravel, or our future feels uncertain. It invites us to make room for God—not just in our schedules, but in our hearts. Advent isn’t just a season—it’s a posture. A posture of waiting, listening, trusting, and making space for God to work.
