Purple Robe Lavender Farm in Arlington is a purple paradise where peace meets purpose. Their 'Lavender in Lights' Christmas season is home to 1,500 glowing lavender plants, free cocoa, and family fun. Come for the lights, stay for the calm—and maybe a little divine inspiration.

Grab your cocoa and cozy up, because Karen Kingsbury is serving up Christmas magic with her brand-new novel and movie, The Christmas Ring! Karen joins Erica to talk about the magical Christmas story following Vanessa Mayfield, a military widow whose hunt for a lost heirloom ring unwraps a surprise gift of love with Ben Miller. Karen sprinkles in her own journey of faith, adds a salute to real-life heroes (including a 101-year-old WWII veteran!), and tops it all off with Debbie Winans belting “O Holy Night” in her acting debut.

With family, faith, and holiday cheer at its heart, The Christmas Ring is basically Christmas cookies for your soul.

What happens when music collides with faith, grace, and a little divine timing? You get the incredible journey of Ben Fuller—a musician whose story is as inspiring as the songs he sings. Ben opens up to Erica about the highs and lows of his walk with God, from sharing the stage with Carrie Underwood at the Dove Awards to lifting voices in worship behind prison walls.

This isn’t just a tale of melodies and microphones—it’s a testimony of patience, trust, and the unshakable promises of God. Ben reminds us that even when dreams feel delayed, His timing is always perfect. With stories of personal struggle, unexpected encounters, and the transformative power of worship, Ben’s journey is a living example of how faith can turn brokenness into beauty.
