The Advent Episode: Waiting Well in a World That Hates Waiting

This week on Bald and Sassy, Chris & Chris kick things off with some Thanksgiving football talk before shifting into something a little deeper: Advent — what it really means, where it comes from, and why it still matters today.

We take a quick look at the ancient roots of Advent, a season the early Church set aside for repentance, reflection, and preparing their hearts for the arrival of Christ. From fourth-century fasting to medieval traditions, Advent has always been about waiting — but not the kind of waiting our world knows.

Because let’s be honest…
We don’t wait well anymore.

In this episode, we unpack what Scripture says about waiting (Psalm 27:14, Isaiah 40:31, Romans 8:25), why it’s more like formation than frustration, and how Advent teaches us to hope with expectation, patience, and trust. We talk through why waiting feels so hard, how God uses it to shape us, and how to slow down enough to hear His voice in a season buzzing with noise.

Whether you’re waiting for answers, direction, healing, or just the next step — this one’s for you.

Settle in, breathe deep, and join us as we learn to wait well in a world that rushes everything.
