Let us celebrate this Advent season (which starts the first Sunday of December leading up to Christmas, so 2023, the last Sunday is Christmas Eve).

The first is Hope and that is the topic of this podcast. It is very fitting, since it is what is in our podcast title. We have Hope but where does hope come from and where did it start in relation to Christ.

We discuss this and then tie it back to our infertility journey and how we can use this knowledge to help us not only in this holiday season, but our current "season" of trying to have a child.

We used several devotionals to help with our discussion from the Bible App and from YouTube.

-Great Expectations: Rediscovering the Hope of Advent (bible app)

-Clinging to Hope: An Advent Study (bible app)

-Advent Series by the Bible Project (YouTube) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH0Szn1yYNecujwVOMet2ywprWUbFcAQb&si=ruO1GymCzP-m7byF

Scriptures mentioned in this podcast (NIV):

Matthew 6: 34
