This week on the Awakening Wonder Advent Bible study podcast, Christa and Britt reflect on the beautiful truth that God chooses to be with the lowly. As they walk through Week Three of the Daily Grace study, they explore how God’s presence is revealed not through power or prestige, but through humility, weakness, and quiet faithfulness. The conversation invites listeners to see how Advent reminds us that God draws near to the overlooked and the ordinary—and how that reality brings deep hope, especially in seasons when we feel small, weary, or unseen.

This week, Britt and Christa dig into Week 2 of Awakening Wonder. We’re finishing our look at the presence of God in the Old Testament, tracing how He faithfully walks with His people in every season. From the wilderness to the promised land, we see a God who is near, attentive, and actively involved in the lives of His people — not distant or detached. And as we explore these stories, we’re reminded that the same God who was with them is the God who continues to be with us today, guiding, providing, and inviting us to notice His presence in our own everyday moments.

Join Christa and Britt for the recap of the first week of Advent. This week we focused on the powerful and comforting theme of God’s presence. From the beginning of Scripture to its fulfillment in Christ, Advent reminds us that God does not remain distant from His people. Instead, He draws near—especially in moments of fear, uncertainty, and waiting.

The message of Week 1 reassures us that God’s nearness is not dependent on our strength or faithfulness, but on His gracious promise to be with His people.
