Advent is more than a countdown to Christmas; it’s an invitation to slow down, look up, and lean into what really matters.

In Part Two of our Advent mini-series, we’re talking about two words we all crave this time of year… peace and joy. But if we’re honest, December often delivers stress, exhaustion, and noise instead.

So what does it look like to experience real peace in a chaotic season?

And how do you hold onto joy when life (and your haircut) doesn’t turn out the way you planned?

In this episode, we explore:

• What biblical peace actually is (and what it isn’t)

• Why joy and happiness are not the same thing

• How Advent invites us to receive peace, not produce it

• Why joy is deeper than mood, and stronger than disappointment

• And yes… Tony shares a painfully funny story about the worst haircut of his life

So grab your coffee, settle in, and join us on the porch as we talk about peace that holds you together, and joy that refuses to leave.
