Some wonderful friends have invited me on their podcasts. I invite you to grab a cup of coffee and take a listen!
“Advent is an in-between season, a threshold season, where a promise has been made, but the gift has not been completely received.” —JNL
In this chat with Judy Douglass, Judy Lewis explores the theme of waiting through the lens of Advent, reflecting on how seasons of delay, wilderness, and longing can shape both hope and spiritual depth. Judy Lewis shares her own experiences with waiting—for marriage, for healing in her family, and for a prodigal’s return—revealing how God meets us in those fragile spaces with tenderness, presence, and eventual transformation. We’re reminded that while waiting is painful and uncertain, it can also expand our capacity for love and trust in God’s timing.
