#31 December 17, 2025 - Fun Things to do in Atlanta this Week

Hey there, and welcome to this week’s City on Purpose Podcast! We’re officially in that magical, slightly chaotic stretch before Christmas where last-minute shopping happens during work hours (purely hypothetically, of course) and everyone is pretending not to refresh their tracking emails. In this episode, we’re rounding up all the ways to live, work, and play with purpose as the countdown to Christmas continues—everything from DIY Ornament Decorating and trivia nights to dinner meet-ups, Run With Christ, Skate the Station, and a stroll through the Atlanta Christkindl Market. Our Featured Find leans fully into festive joy with the Christkindl Market itself—twinkly lights, warm drinks, artisan gifts, and peak Christmas vibes all in one place. We also share new job opportunities at Church of the Apostles and Wiseblood Books for anyone feeling called to a fresh next step, plus highlight Logan’s powerful conversion-and-reversion story on Honest to God. To wrap it all up, our Sunday Sermon Series gives you quick, thoughtful takeaways from Fr. Mike Schmitz, Fr. Gerardo Ceballos-González, Andy Stanley, Brad Jones, and Kris McDaniel—perfect for grounding your week in hope and joy. It’s your quick, cheerful guide to finishing Advent strong, brought to you with a little help from AI and a lot of holiday spirit.
