Episode 6 – Living Between the Advents: A New Year of Holy Expectation

Christmas is over, but we remain an Advent people—rooted in Christ's first coming and alert for His coming again. In this episode, Brian Myers and Derrick Scott III welcome Will Clark to explore what it means to live faithfully in the "already and not yet" of God's kingdom. Together, they discuss where we see God's kingdom breaking through today, where we feel the ache of what's still to come, and how holy expectation can fuel our ordinary days. This conversation offers practical wisdom for scheduling our lives around Jesus and staying awake to grace as we enter a new year.
