This week, we are reflecting on the fifth and final advent candle: The White Candle, symbolizing that Jesus is here!
The word advent means “coming” or “arrival” and speaks of Jesus’ arrival that first Christmas morning in Bethlehem. The season of Advent is a time when we joyously and prayerfully anticipate the celebration of Jesus’ first coming. And, we look forward to His second coming, while also affirming that He is present in the world today offering His redeeming love to anyone who will simply receive it.
One of the most beautiful symbols of the Advent season is the traditional Advent wreath. This Advent wreath is intended to help us keep our focus on the real reason for the season – the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Each Sunday leading up to Christmas, we will be talking about a different candle – representing, in order, hope, peace, joy, and love – although we usually light these candles in our homes, we obviously can't do that on the podcast, but we will still talk about the candles as a way to remember each week in the advent season.
Thank you for joining us this year during Advent Season!

Often times, we think of our pastors as people who are the closest to God. Those men that remind s of Moses, or Elijah, Peter, and Paul, they appear as giants of the faith. But are we expecting more than what is required of them? Are we holding them to an unrealistic expectation? Are we putting all the weight of the world on their shoulders? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller take a deep dive into discussing what the expectations of a Pastor should be, and how we as the church can help fulfill our part in helping them.Grab your Bible and a hot drink and let's dive in.
