Embracing “Presence” as Families This Christmas

Advent season is about “waiting in anticipation” for Jesus’ coming. In the Western world, we wait by throwing Christmas parties, buying presents, and trying to avoid the hustle and bustle. But instead of trying to avoid, what if we tried to embrace? It’s one thing to avoid, it’s quite another to step into something with intention. In this episode, Josh and Christi share ways of embracing presence this Christmas — both with your spouse and kids, and with God as well. They cover some key highlights from their Advent book for families, The 25 Days of the Christmas Story , and also talk about what’s coming for Tender & Fierce in 2026!
