Your days may be filled with Christmas preparations. At the same time, we're all struggling under the weight of division. Join me as we make space for a prayerful pause to watch and wait.

Advent is the perfect season to celebrate in a contemplative rather than commercial way. A good time to recenter our hearts and minds on the reason for the season: Love. For a few minutes each day, we'll explore the familiar Nativity story through the lens of friendship.

Join Katie Kibbe in the prayerful pause your heart needs.
