| 0:00.0 | Advent is a really, really, really good time to be intentional for your family team to point them |
| 0:04.6 | towards Jesus. |
| 0:09.4 | What's up, guys, Jeff and Jeremy here. Welcome back to another five-minute fatherhood. |
| 0:13.3 | Today we want to talk about Advent, and we're going to give you quick kind of bullet-pointed |
| 0:16.8 | Advent traditions. So for us, this is going to be five Advent traditions that you can do to level |
| 0:21.7 | up your family. Jeremy, what are the first couple? Yeah, guys. So this is such an awesome opportunity |
| 0:26.0 | to bring meaning into the family. One that we've really enjoyed as a family for a lot of years |
| 0:30.9 | is a little book you can go on Amazon and find it's called Jotham's Journey. And it's a really cool |
| 0:36.1 | Advent book where you read a chapter a night. |
| 0:38.8 | What I really like about this book is it immerses your children in first century Jewish family. |
| 0:45.4 | And so you see all kinds of different traditions that the family had, all kinds of different communities. |

| 1:25.3 | tree, and they pick one out every single night leading |
| 1:28.7 | up to Christmas. And so this allows them to not just have like that one shot when you're |
| 1:33.1 | talking about the meaning of Christmas, maybe on Christmas Eve, but it's like happening 24 |
| 1:37.9 | times. And there are so many books about Christmas that this can actually be done. A lot of people |
| 1:42.5 | are going to secondhand stores or even go to the library and checking out the books, wrapping them, putting them out of the tree. |
| 1:48.1 | Lots of creative ways to save money and still do this. But I love that one. The other one that |
| 1:52.3 | really stood up to me, we haven't done this one, but I love this idea. There was a number of people |
