Is Advent adding stress instead of bringing you peace?

As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season ramps up, you might find yourself struggling to maintain your spiritual focus and sense of calm.

Advent is meant to be a time for preparation and mindfulness, but for many, it becomes just another source of stress and anxiety.

In this episode of "Of Sound Mind and Spirit” podcast, hosts Shelly Kelly and Lisa Jones explore how you can experience Advent more simply and meaningfully. They share insights and practical tips to help you connect with God, find joy, and lessen the seasonal pressure.

Three benefits you’ll discover from this episode:

  1. Practical tips for Spiritual Engagement: Learn about various ways to incorporate prayer and scripture into daily life using resources like the "Hallow" app and unique personal practices that can be seamlessly integrated into your routine.
  2. Strategies for Stress-Free Advent: Discover ways to simplify your Advent season, turning it into a time of reflection and joy rather than a period fraught with overwhelming to-do lists and expectations.
  3. Embracing Rest and Sabbath: Understand the importance of rest, not just on Sundays but any day that fits your schedule, and why making space to breathe can enhance your spiritual well-being during this reflective season.


Tune in now to find out how you can transform your Advent experience and enter the holiday season with a renewed sense of peace and joy.
