Here we are at the beginning of the Advent season. The hustle and bustle of December has started. It’s layered with excitement, anticipation, and stress. Every year I ask myself how can I make sure this Christmas is all about celebrating our Savior.

My guest today is going to point us right to Him. Author and Bible teacher, Ocieanna Fleiss, joins me to talk about her Advent devotional, Awaiting the Manger: Whispers of Advent in the Old Testament, and how we can quiet our hearts and focus on Jesus.

You’ll hear us talk about…

• How Jesus was God’s plan before the beginning
• The OT story of Leah and how it points to Christ
• Slowing down to celebrate our Savior

Ocieanna is the author of Awaiting the Manger: Whispers of Advent in the Old Testament which was released in September from Harvest House publishers.
