What if Jesus isn't found in big, dramatic moments—but in the quiet, ordinary places you tend to overlook? In this episode, botanical artist and author Sylvie Vanhoozer shares how Advent time can reshape the way we see God in our everyday lives. Through simple practices of paying attention, noticing beauty, and welcoming Christ right where we are, Sylvie invites us into a slower, more intentional season that opens our hearts to Jesus: during Christmas and far beyond.
