Advent Day 5 | A Promise was Born by Basically Basic Podcast

Hi BB’s! Amanda here. I’m so excited to share today’s Advent Episode 4, From Gift to Gift.

I kept thinking about the saying ‘From Glory to Glory’ and how God giving the ultimate gift of Jesus, His son, to us — is like the gift that keeps on giving.

It truly is from one gift to the next.

Growing up in church, I heard the Christmas story quite often… but if I’m honest there were years where I just pictured cute Baby Jesus in a manger with all the sweet little animals around him in the barn, and then just like that... I was ready to receive my own gifts under the tree.

This year I want to meditate on the story of what God truly gave us in the GIFT of Jesus.

He gave us Jesus, THE gift - which has trickled down into my own life - a gift in itself.

My marriage, a gift.

My children, a gift.

My health, a gift.

This podcast, a gift.

The phone I’m typing this on, a gift.

It began “away in a manger” and the life of “the little Lord Jesus” is still being gifted to us today.

Today's Scipture:

Ephesians 2:8

John 3:16 

2 Corinthians 9:15 

Romans 6:23 

Romans 11:29

This week we are centering our lives on what it means to LONG for Jesus. To really truly desire His coming, and to make room in our hearts for His birth to carry the weight that it deserves! During a season known for its “hustle and bustle” we can’t manufacture longing… it takes time, prayer, fasting, focus, and daily obedience.

Our prayer is that as you listen each day, our hearts are getting more and more focused on the “reason for the season.” Like Simeon & Anna, let our hearts burn to see Jesus come!

Advent Day 3 Scripture:

The story of Mary and Joseph presenting Jesus tells us that Mary and Joseph were faithful Jews. Usually when Jewish parents presented a firstborn son in the Temple, they would offer a new lamb. However, Jewish law allowed those who were poor to offer two turtledoves. Simeon and Anna were faithful Jews who had waited all their lives for the Messiah. At the Temple, they recognized Jesus as the Promised One.

Advent Day 1 | Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel by Basically Basic Podcast

Hello BB’s! We interrupt the normal craziness of 2020 to bring a little joy bomb to your day! 💥 On our 50th episode (wow!) we could think of no better thing to talk about than the joys of becoming a Mom! So Cammie got REAL, and shared with us the details of bringing her son into the world!

The best part: it’s a story filled with God showing up in the details, and turning the unexpected into places of His victory. Who doesn’t need that reminder right now!? So whether you are a Mom or not, we hope you will join us to be reminded that He is ALWAYS faithful - even now.

We love you all and are SO thankful you have stuck around for 50 coffee dates! We can’t wait to see what the next 50 hold! 💖

In the midst of social distancing, unanswered questions, and lots of unknowns in this season, we were honored to have this week’s guest, Jillian Edwards give us a glimpse into how she’s finding the secret place of peace.

Jillian’s new album MEADOW is a record about the secret place of abundance, rest, and joy that remains green and flourishing in the midst of chaos, sorrow, and questions.

In this episode we talk about finding rest and satisfaction in bringing our constant need of approval to Christ, simply because we know He desires it. Jillian has a way of telling every story and emotion through a lens of faith, and even over a zoom interview, we could feel the light and love she carries!

Be blessed by Ep. 49 A Place of Peace with the beautiful inside and out @jillian_edwards.
