Welcome to Day 1 of your Advent journey.

We start with a short meditation to clear our mind and bring us in the presence of God. We continue with a short prayer and reading of scripture, Luke 1: 26-38.

We ask you to reflect if there is anything that God is asking you do to during this season of Advent.

If you have time, dedicate a few minutes to read the entire Chapter 1 of the Book of Luke today.

By dedicating a chapter each day, you'll find that by Christmas day, you'll have traversed the entire gospel according to Luke, accompanying Jesus on the remarkable journey of his life.

(DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT! This Advent Season, 2025, is a busy one, and some episodes might be recycled from a previous year. In other words, the day of the week might not line up perfectly with the actual date. I ask for your grace and pray you will still receive the message Jesus is sending to your heart as you listen to each episode.)
