Advent
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025

This week, Matt and Rachel discuss Advent, the season of preparation and waiting leading up to Christmas Day, noting its increasing cultural popularity through various Advent calendars (like Lego or even whiskey) which are often separated from its original. They explain that Advent, derived from the Latin Adventus meaning "appearing" (not waiting as often thought), is a liturgical season intended to align believers with those who waited for Christ's first coming, prepare hearts for his birth, and remind them that Christians are still waiting for his promised Second Coming.Support the showFor more information on Make It Simple Ministries, head to https://makeitsimple.org/To support Make It Simple, head here: Support the showBuy your copy of Junk Drawer Jesus wherever books are sold.
