This week on the By His Grace podcast, Misty Phillip sits down with Jen Ludwig to discuss some practical ways to “embrace Advent” – through quiet times, schedule planning, and personal & family traditions. The Holidays are just around the corner. Let’s embrace this festive season with purpose, and intention.
Jen encourages people to start thinking about how they will prepare to celebrate Christmas this year. The Advent season – the four weeks before Christmas – traditionally focus on the themes of hope, peace, joy and love. If we can plan ahead to set aside a little bit of time each day during the chaotic pre-Christmas days to rest in each of these things, through sitting with Jesus and soaking in Scripture, it is easier to keep our hearts and minds focused on Him and ready to truly celebrate on December 25!
Embracing Advent includes:
Four weeks of short daily readings to encourage you to…
- Hold on to HOPE
- Find PEACE
- Choose JOY
- LOVE and Be Loved
Take a few minutes each day to step away from the holiday chaos and prepare your body, soul, and mind to whole-heartedly experience Christmas this year!

Jill advises how to stop living as shallow human beings, let go of perfection and start walking in a life of security and freedom.
No matter how pretty and shiny we look on the outside, we are all broken people who struggle with sin. None of us has it all together. When we seek the approval of others, we live the shallows in our relationships, family, and the world. But God wants more for us! He wants us to come to him with our brokenness and let go of perfection and external validation.
“Day by day and moment by moment, I am learning to live in the reality of who I was created to be while fighting the urge to simply become who the world says I should be.”- Jill Dasher.

The Loudest Roar: Living in the Unshakable Victory of Christ
Take heart, my friends. The enemy’s roar is but a whisper in the presence of our mighty God. In The Loudest Roar, you’ll marvel at the power, majesty, and authority of our Lord Jesus and learn how to stand in the unshakable victory He’s already won for you.

In that victory, you will:
– Discern God’s voice over the lies of the enemy.
– Stand firm in faith rather than give way to fear.
– Dwell in the cover of God’s armor over you and your
loved ones.
– Keep your thoughts captive to the truth.
– Find victory over cycles of sin in your life.
God’s roar over you will become your roar, diminishing the lies of the enemy . . . to a whisper.
