It’s far too easy to get caught up in the festivities of Christmas with all the bright lights and glittering gifts. But seasonal joys don’t sustain the soul like Scripture's message of Immanuel—God with us.

Jill Briscoe wants to help you prepare your heart for Christmas. In this 25-Day Advent podcast, Jill encourages you to consider the true joy of Christmas. With heartwarming stories, inspirational verse, and biblical teaching, she will help you cut through all the distractions and focus your soul on the miracle of Christmas: God with us; Immanuel in the manger.
