In this episode, Pastor Pete discusses why Advent is more than a holiday tradition—it’s the announcement that hope has broken into a weary world through the arrival of King Jesus, and how—if you anchor your hope in the King rather than your circumstances—it will help you find strength, renewal, and courage even in the places of your life that feel cut down or hopeless. Drawing from Isaiah 61, Luke 4, Romans 15, and Isaiah 11, Pete unpacks how biblical hope is not a feeling we generate but a reality God announces, secures, and brings to life. This message reveals that hope is declared by God, anchored in Christ, and alive because the King is alive—and that even the “stumps” of our lives can become the very places where God grows resurrection.
