On this episode of The Drive with Benji, we continue our Advent journey by turning our attention to a theme everyone talks about but few truly feel—peace. Christmas culture puts the word everywhere, yet many walk through the season battling anxiety, pressure, and restlessness.

Jesus offered something different. In John 14:27 he promised a peace the world can’t manufacture and can’t take away. Today we explore what that peace really is, why he’s called the Prince of Peace, and how Scripture teaches us to experience two life-changing realities: peace with God and the peace of God.

We look at the prophecy of Isaiah, the announcement of the angels, and the practical wisdom of Philippians 4 to understand how surrender leads to peace, how trust steadies the heart, and how Jesus brings wholeness where the world only offers distraction.

If you feel overwhelmed, tired, or searching for calm, this episode will guide you toward the One who restores, reassures, and walks with you through every valley. Peace isn’t an idea. It’s a promise. And it’s available today.

Tune in as we prepare our hearts for Christmas and lean into the peace only Christ can give.

In this opening week of our Advent series, Benji invites you to slow down, breathe, and prepare your heart for Christmas by rediscovering the foundation of true hope. Drawing from Scripture and centuries of Christian practice, this episode explores why hope is more than a feeling. It’s a person.

We look at the longing of Proverbs 13.12, the courage God restores when hope feels delayed, and three powerful truths that anchor our faith. Hope has a name in Jesus. Hope unfolds in perfect timing. And hope is coming again.

Whether you’re waiting on healing, direction, restoration, or renewed faith, this message reminds you that God is working even when you can’t see it. Advent isn’t just about remembering Christ’s arrival. It’s about living with expectation for His return.

Stay tuned over the next four weeks as we walk through the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love and prepare our hearts for Christmas together.

In Week Four of our Mindset Matters series, we dive into one of the most transformative forces God has given us: gratitude.

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling — it’s a mindset. It’s not reacting when life goes right; it’s choosing thankfulness even when life gives you reasons to complain. In this episode, we talk about how comparison and entitlement steal your joy, how Scripture teaches us to learn contentment, and why gratitude is a daily discipline that resets your heart, renews your mind, and restores your peace.

You'll learn practical steps to shift your focus, speak life, and live thankful — and you’ll take on the “reset button” challenge to start each day naming what you're grateful for. Because when you stop saying “I have to” and start saying “I get to,” everything changes.

Lean in — this week we choose gratitude over grumbling, contentment over comparison, and worship over worry.

Scriptures: Philippians 4:11–12, Romans 12:2, Colossians 3:15, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

In today’s episode of The Drive, we dive into the quiet battle that shapes our lives more than we realize — the lies we believe.

A lie believed as truth will affect your life as if it's true. The enemy doesn’t need chains when he can use deception. But God gives us the power to renew our minds, replace lies with truth, and walk in freedom.

We explore:

✅ Why the enemy’s strategy always begins with deception
✅ How lies influence our identity, confidence, and purpose
✅ Biblical steps to recognize, resist, and replace lies
✅ Scriptures to stand on when your thoughts are under attack

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, fear, insecurity, or the pressure to earn God’s love — this message will help you break free and walk in the truth that sets you free.

The lies trap you. The truth releases you.
