Advent in the Real World: Holding Joy & Sobriety Together
Advent isn’t just candles, carols, and cozy liturgies—especially for those doing ministry in the urban context.
In this episode, Dhati & Missie step into the real tension of the season: how do we cultivate joy without ignoring the weight we carry? How do missionaries and leaders stay emotionally present, spiritually anchored, and resistant to despair when neighborhoods feel heavy, resources feel thin, and the world feels overwhelming?
Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and the incarnation itself, they unpack why celebration can be a form of resistance, how Advent helps us reset our souls, and why Jesus’ first coming—and promised return—gives us a hope that is palpable, not theoretical.
Whether you grew up observing Advent or never heard the word until adulthood, this conversation invites you to slow down, grieve honestly, remember deeply, and lean into the hope laid up for us in heaven—a hope strong enough for missionaries, pastors, community leaders, and anyone serving in hard places.
You don’t have to choose between sober-minded and joyful. Advent calls us to both.
Lean in with us.
