Hour 1: The Meaning of Advent - with Aaron Damiani
What is the real meaning of Advent? Increasing numbers of Christians are discovering the season of Advent as a beautiful and rich preparation for Christmas. As a result, many are curious about the origins and meaning of Advent. How does Advent make Christmas event more meaningful? On Friday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, pastor and author, Aaron Damiani joins us to talk about how Advent can teach us how to live the story of Jesus after Christmas is over.
Hour 2: Avoiding Financial Disagreements Over the Holidays - with Julie Munz Baumgardner
Money is known to be the number one issue married couples argue about, with more than a third blaming finances for the stress they experience in their relationship. This season, with the year’s high inflation and rising costs, the holidays may not feel so “merry & bright” for many. On Friday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Julie Munz Baumgardner, Senior Director of Winshape Marriage joins us to provide insightful and practical ways couples can successfully navigate — or avoid altogether — financial disagreements this holiday season.
Hour 3: What A Year! - with Tyler and Julie Hamilton
Years pass so quickly, and sometimes we get too busy to notice one year ending and another one beginning. What if we took the opportunity to pause as the year winds down, reflect on the past year, look ahead to the coming year, and connect more deeply with others? On Friday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Tyler and Julie Hamilton join us to share a new product, "Conversation Cards" that she and her husband have designed to help commemorate the passage of time and to make the New Year's season more meaningful.
