As Christmas and the end of the year approach, it’s easy to get caught up rushing from one holiday party to the next shopping trip and miss the deeper purpose of the season. In this episode, Brett and Erin discuss why Advent and Christmas are meaningful opportunities to slow down as a family, remember Christ’s birth, and intentionally look back on the year to see God’s faithfulness. They offer practical ideas and family traditions to help you do this together at home as the year comes to a close.
