In this episode, we delve into the theme of peace during the Advent season. Advent, derived from the Latin word adventus meaning "coming" or "arrival," is a sacred time of waiting and anticipation for the coming of Immanuel, God with us. Through scriptural insights from the New Testament and the Book of Esther, we explore peace as a divine gift and its transformative power in our lives. The conversation encourages listeners to embrace their role as peacemakers in a troubled world, offering practical reflection questions and resources to guide this journey. Join me as we take time to breathe, gather around the table, and reflect on the beauty and significance of Advent. Together, let’s "See God Move" during this season of wonder and waiting.
