The Advent season arrives during the busiest time of the year. Because of this, we can easily become distracted from the true meaning of Christmas. Advent invites us to pause, reflect, and remember why Jesus came and why He is coming again.
To help Christian leaders slow down and refocus, I wrote an easy-to-read Advent devotional called, Leading with Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love: A 4-Week Advent Devotional for Leaders.
This short devotional guides you through four weeks of Advent as you explore what it means to lead with hope, peace, joy, and love. Each reading includes a Bible passage to look up, a short devotional to read, an application question to ponder, and examples of biblical leaders whose stories encourage us in our own life and leadership.
In this devotional, you will be encouraged to:
- Be expectantly hopeful, like Jesus’ ancestors.
- Be peacefully attentive, like Mary and Joseph.
- Be joyfully resilient, like (or unlike) Zechariah.
- Be fearlessly loving, as the angels commanded.
As you learn from their example, you will discover what it means to lead with hope, peace, joy, and love, not only during Advent, but in every season of life and leadership.
