Good morning,

 

Wow, its already December! Where has this year gone?

 

As we oftentimes get caught up in all of the busy-ness of the holiday season, I thought this advent resource guide might offer some encouragement.

 

Wishing you joy and peace this holiday season!

 

Blessings,

Dear Jenni,

 

With Christmas approaching, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and exhausted. That’s why we’re offering a free gift to help you navigate the season in a thoughtful, life-giving way.

 

The last few years, Vanessa Caruso has been engaging more fully in Advent, and each time, she finds herself “sinking a little more easily into Advent-specific rhythms and practices.” This year, she’s asking herself, “What would make a good Advent? What’s God doing in my life and in my relationships, on my block and in my community, and what does Advent have to offer, impart, or teach us? What are the invitations this year?” 

 

As a way to discern that—and to help our supporters and friends have their own impactful Advent season—Vanessa has graciously put together a How To Advent (Better) Guide. She created it specifically for our podcast and blog, The Better Samaritan, on Christianity Today, where each week we explore how to humbly do good, better.

Blessings,
