We couldn't let the Christmas season go by without a few fun Christmas Party bonus episodes! This summer, I had the opportunity to visit the set of The Chosen and it was INCREDIBLE. Y'all. I had SO much fun chatting with a few of the cast and crew of The Chosen season 3. George Xanthis (who plays John), Liz Tabish (Mary Magdalene), Giavani Cairo (Thaddeus), Ryan Swanson (co-writer), Brad Pelo (President of The Chosen), Brandon Potter (Quintus), and Katherine Warnock (Head of Original Content for The Chosen). I can't wait for y'all to hear our conversations and to watch season 3 of The Chosen! If you want to check out more of my visit to the set and watch some behind the scenes action, we made a little video that you can find HERE.. . .It's not too late to join us as we celebrate Advent together.

As we head into this season of Advent, my friend Tsh Oxenreider, walks us through an introduction to this special time in the liturgical calendar. We talked all about boundaries around social media, the different traditions surrounding Advent, and we took a deep dive into the difference between Lent and Advent. I'm so thankful for Tsh and the wisdom she shares! You can find the special video version of this conversation on YouTube HERE.. . . .Join us as we celebrate Advent together.
