As we get ready for the joy of Christmas, it’s easy to overlook Advent itself. This special season is meant to be a time of quiet reflection and patient waiting for the coming of Christ. Yet, our days often fill up with shopping, decorating, and parties, leaving little space for the stillness that Advent invites.
To help us enter more deeply into the season, Formed is offering a new program called How to Advent. This four-part series encourages us to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child. Each short episode includes reflection questions to help guide prayer and discussion.
Consider watching one episode each Sunday in November as a way to prepare for the season ahead. You can find How to Advent on the Formed app or online at formed.org. Take this time to be intentional with your Advent journey and rediscover the beauty of waiting with hope.
