Does the run-up to Christmas ever leave you feeling worn out instead of hopeful? In this message, Neil Schori invites you to pause during the holiday rush and ask some deeper questions about what you’re really waiting for this season. "Advent-ually" is a series about more than just countdowns and to-do lists—it’s about what helps you find light in all the darkness and chaos that can settle in this time of year. If you’re feeling the weight of the season—whether from longings, old memories, or endless errands—you’re not alone. Take a breather, and see if this message re-frames what hope and waiting can actually mean for your Christmas.
