The familiar places of our lives look different in Advent. Light changes colors by the second, holiday decorations appear on the shelves, and the excitement of the season brightens our faces and our spirits during the darkest days of the year. We also see change in our hearts. Advent invites us to prepare for the coming of Christ, to see a new world being born in our midst. Where do we notice Christ already working in the world? Where is Christ needed next? How can we be Christlike in new ways? What if we could adjust our glasses to recognize God's work unfolding right in front of us?In Seeing a Different World, author and pastor Elizabeth Hagan (Birthed), invites us to see a different world in which Jesus is present in our everyday actions. Beginning on the first day of Advent, Seeing a Different World offers daily meditations and prayers centered around four week-long themes: Seeing New Hope, Seeing New Peace, Seeing New Joy, and Seeing New Love. Transform the way you see Advent this year.
