Welcome to Week 3 of the God With Us Advent re-air series on OOBT! Today's episode, God With Us While We Wait, invites us to pause in the midst of the busy holiday season and reflect on the deeper meaning of Advent: He has come… and He is coming.

In this episode, we explore how Jesus, our Emmanuel, is present with us in every part of life—the hard and the good, the joy and the pain, in the weariness and in the waiting. We dive into what it means to trust God in the "in-between" moments, to let Advent slow our hearts and minds, and to recognize that the waited time is not wasted time with Him.

You'll hear encouragement to take this season as an opportunity to lean into God's presence, to find hope, and to discover ways your weary soul can truly rejoice… even while we wait.

As I've mentioned repeatedly in this God With Us Advent series, I'm listening right alongside you, my OOBTers, letting the truths of this Advent message stir my heart just as they did when I first spoke them into the mic all those seasons ago. So good.

Don't forget to check the show notes—they're packed with bonus content, links, and reflection prompts to help you engage with Advent in fresh, meaningful ways.

Next week, we'll close out the series with The Awe + Wonder of Our Savior's Birth, releasing on Christmas Eve—a perfect way to prepare your heart and mind for our Savior's birth.
