About this listen

Hope feels fragile when leaders fail, plans shift, and the season stirs old grief. Isaiah’s promise cuts through the noise: a child will be called Everlasting Father. We sit with that surprising name, trace it through the life of Jesus, and discover why it changes how we see God, ourselves, and the world we’re called to love.

We start by reading Isaiah 9:6 and asking why a messianic title uses “Father.” The name shows what Jesus came to reveal—the Father’s heart. Drawing from Colossians and John, we point to moments where Jesus speaks and acts with the Father’s authority, making the invisible God visible: mercy for the shamed, presence for the afraid, and steadfast love for the overlooked. That lens reframes Advent as more than waiting; it becomes resting in Someone whose care does not end.

We close with a spoken blessing—words to help you breathe, receive, and remember the Father who holds yesterday, today, and forever. If this encourages you, share it with a friend who needs steady hope, subscribe for more Advent reflections, and leave a review to help others find the podcast.
