Hey friends, this is Annie F. Downs from the That Sounds Fun podcast, and I want to invite you to join us as we go through our Advent study starting on December 1st.

I love Advent, but when it rolls around every year, the theme that always leads the way is waiting.

But if I'm honest with you, how am I supposed to like level up my excitement and joy around waiting when it

feels like waiting is my whole year? This is how we landed on this year's Advent theme. Stay tuned,

an Advent series for those already waiting. It's time for us to talk about the unique challenge

of entering the holiday season without your prayers answered and with your hope on the line. Stay tuned is for anyone who is waiting for God to answer

their prayers, but there is specific attention and heart in this study for our friends who are not

married today, like me. Join us for this three-week study, December 1st, 24th. Stay tuned includes

brand new daily devotionals each weekday,

available in audio, video, and written form,

and a robust stay-tuned guidebook that includes journaling,

questions, scripture, and so much more.

Grab your copy of Stay Tuned and join us at Annie Fie f downs.com slash advent well well friends who loves you so much that

she's snuck in another bonus episode before season four this girl right here i'll keep the

intro short because really i just want to jump in with this quick reminder

that I have been carrying around for about two months. I've been teaching a series at the Father

South Orange County for the last eight weeks. And honestly, it's changing our church. What's been

seared in my mind is that we are people who are marked for purpose because we have power and

authority in Jesus Christ. Now, I get it. Not everyone who

listens to this podcast is a Christian or self-identifies as a Christian, but just bear with me on

this one. Do me a favor. Sit around for about 30 minutes because this teaching was the first

installment out of a series that we just started, and I really wanted to share it with you.
