He Came Near | Advent Devotional Week 1

Hey there, Figs — welcome to Episode 1 of our special 4-week Advent series, He Came for Me.This entire series grew out of a song Brandon wrote over a decade ago called “From Glory to a Stable.”What started as a melody he carried in his heart has become the framework for these four weeks of preparing room for Jesus.Today, Brandon reads his Week 1 devotional, He Came Near — The God Who Stepped Into My Story, inviting us to remember the miracle of a God who didn’t stay distant. He stepped into the world He created — into our dust, our laughter, and our need — so we would never doubt His nearness.As you listen, take a slow breath and let this truth settle in:Because He came near for me, I am never outside His reach.✨ In This Episode* The wonder of the incarnation — God with us* What it means that Christ chose proximity over distance* Why His nearness still reshapes our daily lives🌿 Companion GuideIf you want to linger with this throughout the week, grab the free Advent companion guide.
