MusicWhat is the real meaning of Advent? Increasing numbers of Christians are discovering the season of Advent as a beautiful and rich preparation for Christmas. As a result, many are curious about the origins and meaning of Advent. How does Advent make Christmas event more meaningful? On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, pastor and author, Aaron Damiani joins us to talk about how Advent can teach us how to live the story of Jesus after Christmas is over.
Even though this is known as "the most wonderful time of the year", it can also be a difficult time for some walking through a challenging season of life. This time of year can bring on bouts of depression, or "blues." Relationally, we know as a Christian that we are so grateful for kids, family, and church, but sometimes our "Christmas blues" are a mix of thankfulness and sadness. Wednesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Heather Palacios joins us to share three things she's done on her journey when she's experienced the "Christmas Blues".
