During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are starting our Advent series. The countdown to Christmas is on! I'd like to ask you a question: Do you struggle to find your Christmas spirit in December?   Between the shopping, wrapping, decking the halls and endless food prep, the holidays can be exhausting. And sometimes our expectations of Christmas cheer and merriment are dashed by cranky kids, bad weather, or burnt turkey.   But the real spirit of Christmas is not found in any of these trappings. The real spirit of Christmas is in the anticipation of the arrival of Christ, the Light of the world.   Advent is a time of waiting in expectation. We celebrate Christ's first advent at Christmas while we are eagerly awaiting His second advent, which could be any day now.   So lift your eyes and look to the heavens until the sky splits open and Christ comes to usher in His glorious kingdom - where He will be our Light forevermore.   Click on the link in my bio to access the podcast, and let's meet on the pages of God's Word!   P.S. Be sure to get a copy of The Christmas S.T.O.R.Y, my advent Bible study. Prepare your heart for the birth of Christ using this mini version of the S.T.O.R.Y. Bible study method to trace the story of Christmas through Scripture. Tracking with the Advent Bible study alongside these 3 podcast episodes will add so much depth to your time in the Word.   Resources Mentioned: The Christmas S.T.O.R.Y. S.T.O.R.Y.
