Advent - The Strength of Joy: Anna's Lifelong Devotion (ft. Molly Huffman)
The Strength of Her Voice: Women of Advent
Anna - Luke 2:36–38 (NIV)
“There was also a prophet, Anna.. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.”
This Advent, we’re stepping into the stories of four women whose quiet faithfulness reshaped history—Anna, Hanna, Elizabeth, and Mary. Each week, this Advent series will explore the strength they carried, the hope they held onto, and the God who met them right where they were. In a season when we are often stretched thin, longing for direction, healing, or renewal, their voices remind us that Advent is not just a countdown to Christmas. It is an invitation to wait, to trust, and to believe that God is moving even in the unseen.
Across the themes of Hope, Joy, Love, and Peace, we’ll look at how these women embodied endurance and expectation in the middle of real life—disappointment, longing, confusion, obedience, and miraculous promise. Their stories illuminate the truth that Advent is not passive waiting; it is courageous participation in what God is bringing to life.
Each episode begins with “The Strength Of…” because these women weren’t powerful by worldly standards—they were powerful because they stayed tethered to the presence of God. Their strength is a mirror for us today: strength in surrender, in persistence, in faith, in listening, and in saying yes.
This series is designed for anyone who needs fresh hope, deeper joy, rekindled love, or grounding peace in this season. Whether Advent feels full of anticipation or full of ache, these voices meet us with gentleness and truth.
In this episode, I’m joined by Molly Huffman, a mother, wife, and author who is no stranger to grief. Molly walked through losing her mother, her son, and her marriage and has slowly seen the Lord rebuild her courage, hope, and faith in Him. Together, we’ll explore Anna, another woman who is no stranger to lament. I can’t wait for you to hear the wisdom and warmth they bring to this conversation and how we learn to wait on the Lord and walk through grief in Advent this year.
