Join Christian educator and bestselling author Elizabeth (Lib) Caldwell for an introduction to Waiting: Spending Advent with the Psalms, a four-week Advent devotional and Bible study that helps individuals and small groups encounter God through the poetry and prayers of the Psalms.
The introductory video explains how to use the book and companion video series throughout Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. Each weekly session features a brief teaching from Lib, a reflective musical meditation by renowned cellist Julia Tanner, and a short closing reflection to prepare your heart for prayer, discussion, and spiritual practice.
Additionally, there are four short videos with reflections from the author for Christmas Day, each week of Christmas, and Epiphany.
Whether you're studying alone, with your family, or in a church small group, this series invites you to slow down and discover God's enduring presence during one of the busiest seasons of the year.
