Advent kicks off with a deep dive into HOPE. From ancient prophecy to personal pain, this episode unpacks Isaiah 9 and reminds us why real hope isn’t found in holiday cheer—but in a person.

For this special Thanksgiving crossover episode, Dena sits down with Morgan May Treuil and Leslie Johnston, the hosts behind Am I Doing This Right?, to dive into doubt, hell, prayer, spicy unpopular opinions (The Bachelor included), and why the Bible matters—with plenty of laughter along the way.
