What are you longing for as we enter into the Advent season?
There is always a laundry list of things to do as the holidays enter full-swing, whether it’s shopping, decorating, cooking, baking, Christmas cards, or other activities that keep you on the go every year in the month prior to Christmas. And yet Advent invites us to experience this season in a very different way than the hustle and bustle of our modern culture.
IF YOU’VE WONDERED WHAT ELSE GOD MIGHT DO WITH YOUR DREAM, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!
Singer-songwriter Caroline Cobb returns to the Devoted Dreamers Podcast to share her brand-new Advent devotional—Advent for Exiles: 25 Devotions to Awaken Gospel Hope in Every Longing Heart—and encourage us toward the quiet moments that invite our longing for the coming Savior.
She also brings her story of the book writing process, the experience of becoming a published author, and what it was like to shift from songwriting into writing an Advent devotional that would complement a previous project—her Advent album, A Seed, A Sunrise.
In this episode you’ll learn from Caroline about:
💡 A new way to engage your family in the longing of Advent this December,
✨ Continuing to plant seeds for your dream even when you don’t know what will grow, and
❤️ How being beloved by God surpasses any dream or achievement.
Get ready to be encouraged and pointed to the longing we find in Advent as we welcome Caroline Cobb back to the Devoted Dreamers podcast.
