Cultivating a Meaningful Advent Season, with Barbara Reaoch

How do you stay focused on Jesus during the holidays? Between the lights, food, family, and gifts, our hearts are prone to wander in the bustle of it all. Barbara Reaoch helps set the tone of this Advent season as she shares how we can observe it for ourselves, and then lead our families to the hope of Jesus. She gives practical ideas for developing Advent traditions with family as she points us to what really matters this Christmas.
