Joy to the World - The Savior Reigns

We all want to experience true joy and true peace, but for many of us, that sounds too “churchy” and unattainable. In this second Advent podcast episode, Stacy and Jacque are joined by JG Motice to discuss how we can actually live in peace. Looking at the way Jesus related to His Father, and exploring tangible practices for our own relationships, this episode offers a calming reminder that God truly loves us and wants to meet with us. We can experience peace this holiday season and beyond. 👉 Looking to do more with your family this December?  📖 Many of the women at Mission Hills Church are doing the Joy to the World Advent Bible Study produced by Lifeway Women.

Joy to the World - The Lord has Come

Is there a connection between trust and joy? In this first week of our Advent podcast, Stacy, Jacque and guest host Coletta Smith, explore that very question through the story of Elizabeth. By trusting in God’s character, Elizabeth found both solace and deep joy, rejoicing in what God was doing not only in her own life but in Mary’s as well. Coletta invites us to follow Elizabeth’s lead: to reject jealousy and comparison, to celebrate God’s work in others, and to trust that He will faithfully complete the work He has begun in each of us. Join us for a conversation that sets the tone for a season of expectancy and joy. 👉 Looking to do more with your family this December?  📖 Many of the women at Mission Hills Church are doing the Joy to the World Advent Bible Study produced by Lifeway Women.

Is Your Schedule a Sign of Surrender or Self-Reliance

Ever feel like your calendar is your comfort? A method of controlling your days? In this week’s episode of our James Bible Study series, we unpack James 4:13–5:12 and dive into what it means to plan with humility, live with eternal perspective, and steward both time and wealth wisely. Kim challenges us to consider where our trust truly lies and the roles that surrender, justice, and patient endurance play. ============================= Reflection Questions: ============================= ✅ What do your calendar and spending habits reveal about who—or what—you trust most? ✅ Are there any areas of your life where you’re planning without inviting God in? Where do you struggle to trust God? ✅ How do you respond to inconvenience or disrupted plans, and what does that reveal about your level of surrender? ✅ What does “patient endurance” look like in your current season—and how can you lean into it more fully this week? ============================= The Study of James: A Product of Anchor + Waves Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOST:: Kim Fearing 🎛️ PRODUCER:: Lepard Productions 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland   A Product of Lepard Productions and the Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved
