SPECIAL ADVENT SERIES -
Advent Series - Loving Like Jesus in a Season That Pulls You Apart

In this final week of the Advent Marriage Series, Ron & Rachel talk about the heart of Christmas — LOVE.
Not the rom-com version, and not the “we survived December” kind of love.
But the love Jesus modeled: sacrificial, present, steady, and transformative.

You’ll hear how the Christmas story reveals God’s love moving close, why couples often feel disconnected during the holidays, and how to love intentionally instead of reactively.
Plus, you’ll get simple ways to practice sacrificial love all week long.

This closing episode will reset your heart, strengthen your connection, and help your marriage end the year rooted in Christ’s love.

Key Topics:

• Recapping Hope, Peace, and Joy
• The love God showed by coming near
• Why December often disconnects couples
• How to ask your spouse what love looks like
• Daily sacrificial love practices

Key Verse:

“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” – John 1:14
