30. Advent Silence, Self-Reliance, and the Invitation to Give God Your Whole Heart

Send us a text

In this Advent reflection, Dr. Betsey explores how self-reliance can quietly replace trust in God, even during seasons of prayer and silence. She reflects on the invitation of Advent to slow down, turn inward, and seek solitude with the Lord — and how that solitude can gently reveal the places we are still carrying things on our own.

This episode unpacks the difference between sacred silence and spiritual isolation, offers a simple “Name It to Tame It” mindset practice, reflects on Scripture, and guides listeners through a contemplative prayer for Advent peace.

Perfect for Christian mothers seeking encouragement, spiritual growth, and peace during the Advent season.
