    Episode 106 ~ Habits of Hurry versus Habits of Holiness: Practices for a Meaningful Advent

    The frenzy of Black Friday starts the month of December off with a wave of commercialism that seems to only grow in intensity as Christmas gets closer. Yet during this same time of year the ancient season of Advent calls us to ponder and reflect, to lean into wonder, and to prepare our hearts for a deeper understanding of Jesus's coming. How can we live intentionally and counter-culturally during this time? Join Justin and Brian for a lively discussion of what the season of Advent is and attitudes, practices, and habits that can help lead us to a deeper and more meaningful observance of Advent.
