Advent with Allison Part 5: Christmas for the Weary & Restless

Merry Christmas! Welcome to the fifth and final installment of Advent with Allison. Today, we’re having a casual conversation about hearing from God, feeling restless and unsettled during the holiday season, and why we need to stop pursuing happiness and “self-love” as the highest good in our lives.

(Also, a quick correction on my John 16 commentary – I stated this was before Jesus’s ascension, but it was before his arrest and crucifixion. I’ve included a resource below regarding this chapter. Sorry about that!)
