What if joy isn’t about everything working out, but about what, or who, you lean on while you wait? This Advent message, “Joy Will Hold,” invites you to think honestly about the things you carry during the holidays and beyond. Pastor Steve Van Denend walks through a story about ordinary people facing the unknown and what it means to trust, remember, and choose where you put your focus. Whether faith is a central part of your life or something you’ve put to the side, here’s a conversation for anyone wrestling with hope or feeling the weight of this season. You’re invited to listen in and consider what “joy” could really look like for you this Christmas.
