Join Joe and Pastor Rob as we dive into Isaiah 29:17–24 and explore what it means to rejoice in the Lord with humility during this Advent season. In this episode, we discuss:

• Why God restores the humble and needy—not the proud.
• How independence can lead to spiritual arrogance.
• Practical ways to practice humility and rely on God daily.
• Finding joy even in seasons of waiting and longing.

Pastor Rob shares personal insights, including a powerful reminder from his own health journey, and we reflect on how every breath is truly a gift from God.
