Advent isn’t just a season, it’s an invitation. For young mothers navigating the emotional weight and expectations of Christmas, it can feel like a tug-of-war between culture and calling. But what if Advent was less about performing and more about pausing? Less about buying and more about beholding?

In this episode, we offer a powerful reminder that Advent is for the overwhelmed mom, the tired heart, and the home that longs to center its rhythms on Christ. Through personal stories, biblical reflections, and practical ideas, we'll walk alongside you as mentors, inviting you to reclaim this sacred season as one filled with joy, hope, peace, love, and deep rest in Christ.
