Welcome to a special month-long Advent series on the Shepnaz Podcast! For the entire month of December, we’re pausing our usual format to bring you daily devotionals leading up to Christmas Day.

In today’s episode, Joe welcomes Pastor Brett to kick off the series with a powerful reminder: God remembers His promises and is making all things new. We explore the story of Noah, urban renewal as a metaphor for spiritual restoration, and the hope we have in Christ during this Advent season.📖 Key Scriptures:

  • Genesis 8:1 – “But God remembered Noah…”
  • John 10:10 – “I came that they may have life…”
  • 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…”
  1. Are there parts of your life where it feels like God has forgotten you?
  2. How do you see God recreating around you?
