Pausing with the Prince of Peace | Midweek at The Compass

Our pastors encourage us to slow down and participate in Advent during December - but who has time for that? December is one of the busiest months of the year for almost everyone.

So how can we create time for the "reason for the season"? How can we implement some spiritual practices that will ground us in the goodness, peace, and love we're promised through Jesus Christ?

Tune in for a rich conversation between Jake and Spiritual Director Dre Nell about some simple spiritual practices we can use to connect with our Prince of Peace this Christmas season.
