Did you know that historically, Advent had a double focus? One was to celebrate Christmas, the first appearing of Jesus Christ in the flesh. The other was looking forward to the second advent, when Jesus will return for us.

In this podcast, Cathe Laurie reminds us that the meaning of Christmas goes miles deeper than frantic shopping, pretty lights and family traditions. We, of all people, should know this. How much better to walk calmly and focused into this season and why we celebrate.
