Episode Description

In today's Advent episode, we take a look at how the shepherds found joy in the middle of their everyday, right now lives.

How to find joy in the little things

For there to always remain in your life some place for the singing of angels, you do not need an angelic visit.

Perhaps to make space for the singing of angels means to do the work God specifically created you to do, at the time He gave you to do it, to be open to the possibility of wonder and miracle, to go and see Jesus for yourself, to tell others about what you've experienced, and to return to your real life, making much of Jesus.
