As we enter the first week of Advent, the Faith+Lead team invites you to pause, breathe, and begin the season with renewed spiritual focus. The 4-Day Mindful Advent Challenge runs December 1–4, offering a simple but deeply meaningful way to reclaim the stillness and hope at the center of Advent.

Participants will receive a daily devotional delivered directly to their inbox, featuring contemplative artwork by Steve Thomason, a short prayer, and a daily spiritual practice designed to help you reflect on Advent’s core themes—hope, peace, joy, and love. These devotions are perfect for personal reflection or for sharing with your family, small group, or congregation.

In a season when the world rushes toward Christmas, this brief challenge invites us into a different rhythm—one rooted in presence, prayer, and sacred attentiveness. Through mindful sketching, peaceful imagery, and accessible spiritual practices, the challenge provides a community experience of renewal with believers from across the country.

What You’ll Receive Each Day (Dec. 1–4):

• Meditative artwork devotional featuring Steve Thomason’s Advent-themed sketches

• A short prayer to guide your reflection

• A simple practice to help you connect with God and with others during this holy season

Registration is free.

As we prepare for the coming of Emmanuel, may you find holy stillness, renewed hope, and the peace of Christ that meets us in the quiet moments.
