Summary

For many, Christmas is a time of year that sparks joy. For others, it is a reminder of what has been lost. In moments of hardship, especially near the holidays, it can be easy to find ways to escape reality. Escaping reality can be seen as something “harmless”, but it's actually damaging to our hearts. In this episode, Krystal and guest Ann Swindell discuss escapism during the holidays, specifically how we should avoid it, and how the gospel can give us the peace we are looking for.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Grace podcast. I'm Shelby. And I'm Crystal. We are a part of the content team here at the Daily Grace Co. And our mission is to equip disciples in the Word.
0:10.0	And every Tuesday, we share what we're learning from Scripture with you right here on the podcast, because we believe that deep Bible study, sound doctrine, and rich theology are not just for the seminary student or pastor,
0:21.1	but are accessible for all believers.
0:23.5	So whether you listen on the go or sitting down with pen and paper in hand,
0:28.0	we hope these conversations will teach you something new about God and His Word,
0:31.9	and to remind you that the gospel changes everything.
0:42.2	The Advent season is almost here and we are so excited to celebrate it with you. Advent means coming or arrival. Advent helps us focus on Jesus's first coming
0:49.1	and helps us look forward to his second coming. It is observed on the first Sunday in December, all the way
0:55.8	to Christmas Eve each year. During December, our podcast episodes will be following along with the
1:01.8	four main themes of Advent, hope, peace, joy, and love. These episodes will be shorter in length,
1:09.3	but full of encouragement for the Christmas season.
1:12.7	Our anchor passages each week will come from our Advent study, just as he promised.
1:17.9	Be sure to check our Advent collection at the Daily Gracecove.com.
1:21.9	We are excited to learn more about God's character as we approach this season of Advent together.
1:30.0	Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Grace podcast. This is Crystal, and I am joined by a dear
1:35.2	friend of the podcast, Anne Swindell, and thanks for joining me today. I'm so happy to be here, Crystal.
1:40.6	Thanks for having me. Oh, I'm super excited for this conversation. A lot of our listeners
1:45.1	are familiar with you already. You're on the podcast. I think we figured out maybe two plus years ago.
1:50.7	And we're going to link that in the show notes. If you missed that conversation the first time around,
1:54.5	we talked about pursuing faithfulness to God, even in seasons of waiting, in seasons where you're
1:59.3	not getting what you're praying for or what
2:01.1	you want. So check out the show notes. Let's do that episode. We'll link the book as well.
