Make It Simple
Matt Popovits and Rachel Ryder take complicated issues and break them down into ideas we can understand, truths we can apply, and questions worth pondering--and they do it all through the lens of faith.
With thought-provoking insights and engaging conversations, they explore everything from parenting and anxiety to racism, gender identity, the Enneagram, politics, and more.

Advent
This week, Matt and Rachel discuss Advent, the season of preparation and waiting leading up to Christmas Day, noting its increasing cultural popularity through various Advent calendars (like Lego or even whiskey) which are often separated from its original. They explain that Advent, derived from the Latin Adventus meaning "appearing" (not waiting as often thought), is a liturgical season intended to align believers with those who waited for Christ's first coming, prepare hearts for his birth, and remind them that Christians are still waiting for his promised Second Coming.
