Celebrating Advent as a Family

Josh and Christi Straub want to help families celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmastime, and they’ve written an Advent devotional book so that parents and their kids can go deeper into God's story during the holiday season. On this Focus on the Family broadcast, the Straubs share lessons from their book as they discuss the creation of Christmas memories, managing expectations, waiting on the promises of God, and more. To help you avoid feeling overwhelmed by the busyness of the season, Christi also shares a fascinating analogy about "breathing in" all of the wonderful elements of Christmas, but also having a time and place to "exhale," or to stop, ponder, and rest in the presence of God.
