Below are the Faith Challenegs for the first and second week of Advent: 

Week One Theme: In the Time of Herod, God is breaking in. 

As we begin Advent, we remember Zechariah’s story — fear met by God’s gentle words:
“Your prayer has been heard.”

Here are your two faith challenges for this week:

1 Name & Release Your Fear

Sometime this week, speak or write down one fear you’re carrying.
Then pray these words:
“My prayer has been heard.”
Let that truth breathe hope into your season.

2 Look for Where God Is Breaking In

Each day, notice one moment — however small — where hope interrupts fear.
A kind word. A quiet pause. A bit of peace.
Write them down and watch how God breaks in, even now.

Advent begins in the dark… but God is already moving.

Week 2:  “When We’re Running Out of Hope, God Is at Work”

This week, we’re leaning into a hope that doesn’t always feel steady — a hope that trembles, questions, and keeps going anyway.
Here are two simple ways to practice that kind of hope in the days ahead:

Faith Challenge #1: Look for One Quiet Sign of Transformation

Each day, name one small place where you notice God at work — a moment of kindness, a bit of healing, a spark of justice, a breath of peace.
Glimmers keep hope alive.

Faith Challenge #2: Practice Hope Without Proof

Pray each morning:
“God, help me trust that You are at work, even when I cannot yet see it.”
Choose one place in your life that feels like a wilderness and trust that God is forming a new way there — even beneath the surface.

Advent invites us to look again, listen again, and hope again.
You are not alone on the journey.
