In this opening week of our Advent series, Benji invites you to slow down, breathe, and prepare your heart for Christmas by rediscovering the foundation of true hope. Drawing from Scripture and centuries of Christian practice, this episode explores why hope is more than a feeling. It’s a person.

We look at the longing of Proverbs 13.12, the courage God restores when hope feels delayed, and three powerful truths that anchor our faith. Hope has a name in Jesus. Hope unfolds in perfect timing. And hope is coming again.

Whether you’re waiting on healing, direction, restoration, or renewed faith, this message reminds you that God is working even when you can’t see it. Advent isn’t just about remembering Christ’s arrival. It’s about living with expectation for His return.

Stay tuned over the next four weeks as we walk through the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love and prepare our hearts for Christmas together.
