If the weight of waiting has ever felt crushing…if your desires feel delayed…if your suffering feels like, “Lord, I can’t do this anymore”, this episode is for you.In this first week of Advent, we talk honestly about the ache of longing and the places in our lives that feel heavy. But we also talk about the God who meets us there, who gives us grace for the long haul, who replaces our faint, weary hearts with “long-lasting batteries,” and who teaches us to hope again.We explore:

  • The weight of waiting and how the Lord strengthens us in seasons of suffering
  • What happens when God invites us to name our desires with hope, not resignation
  • How Advent calls us to slow down, unclench our calendars, and step into sacred time
  • The difference between external “liturgical living” and the gentle interior rhythm of grace
  • Why even the smallest shifts in prayer can reorient our hearts in profound ways
  • How the Lord is doing deep work in our souls—often beyond what words can describe

Advent isn’t about striving. It’s about letting ourselves be carried, like a leaf on the river of God’s grace, toward the heart of the Father, toward the eternity we long for, and toward the desires He Himself placed within us.So if you’re longing… aching… hoping… or simply tired, come sit with us. There are graces available in this Advent, in this moment, that have never been available before.We’re so glad you’re here. 💛Come, Lord Jesus.
