You're Invited to Journey Through Advent!

Watch as Kris Langham shares how you can journey with the Through the Word family through the Gospel of Mark:

What does it look like to prepare your heart, not just your home, for Christmas?

This Advent, we invite you to slow down, light a candle, and rediscover the story of Jesus, His arrival, His life, and the hope of His return.

Join Kris Langham on a 26-day audio journey through the Gospel of Mark from November 29 – December 25. Together, we’ll prepare our hearts for Christmas through Sunday family devotionals—with candle lighting and prayer—and weekday studies that follow Jesus’ story from beginning to resurrection.

Whether you’re continuing an Advent tradition or starting a new one, this journey offers a simple, meaningful way to make Christ the center of your Christmas season.

Here's a taste of Advent Day 1:

Advent 2025 | Day 1: Anticipation

Advent is about anticipation—preparing our hearts for Jesus’ first arrival and his promised return—with a simple plan to guide you each day.

Welcome to Advent Through the Word 2025. From November 30 to December 25, we’ll journey together with 10-minute audio guides: Sundays we light candles for hope, peace, joy, and love as we follow the Christmas story; weekdays we read one chapter a day in Mark; Saturdays are for rest or catch-up; Christmas Eve we read Luke 2, and Christmas Day we meet the wise men. It’s family-friendly and grounded in Scripture—anticipation that shapes us, just as Isaiah 40 and Lamentations 3 remind us.

Start with Day 1 on November 30, invite a friend or your family to follow along in the app, and get your candles ready as we anticipate Jesus—together.
