I'm so glad that this week we get to talk about one of the best gifts we've been given: the gift of love. Not only that, it is the gift of God's love. A gift too special and big to ever fit under your tree. Jesus talked a lot about love in the Bible and I share a lot about it in today's episode. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:13 We always love to have you draw something for Annie's miniBFF Podcast.

Join us as we spend the next four weeks learning about each of the candles on the Advent wreath - Hope, Peace, Love and Joy. This week's episode focuses on the candle of PEACE. Sometimes the Christmas season can feel so busy that you might just need some peace and quiet! Well, at least maybe your grownups do. But did you know that you actually already have peace in your heart. So even through all the hustle, fun, and busyness of the season you can still feel a since of peace. Because this kind of peace comes from Jesus. And we get to talk about that A LOT on this episode. Scripture: John 14:27 We always love to have you draw something for Annie's miniBFF Podcast.

Join us as we spend the next four weeks learning about each of the candles on the Advent wreath - Hope, Peace, Love and Joy. This week's episode focuses on the candle of HOPE. We are all familiar with the feeling of hope. Like I bet some of you might be hoping for a certain present to be under your tree very soon. And, while that hope is fine to have, it isn't the hope we are talking about in this episode. This kind of hope can only be found in Jesus. I can't wait for you to listen and learn more about it.

miniBFFs, have you ever lost something before? I mean, I have! And let me tell you that the second I find what I am looking for I am jumping up and down screaming “I found it!

Have you ever climbed a tree? Well, did you know that there is a story in the bible about someone climbing a tree. There is, miniBFFs. His name was Zacchaeus.

Getting hurt is zero fun. Am I right, miniBFFS? And the hard part about getting hurt is waiting for the boo boo to heal! But usually, it always does. This episode focuses on a story in the bible where Jesus healed a blind man named Bartimaeus. But the reason Bartimaeus was able to be healed was because he had faith in Jesus.

We have heard before the story about Jesus telling us to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind and to love your neighbor as yourself.

Have you ever had a garden before? If you have, you know how much work it takes to keep it alive and growing. Well Jesus tells us a story, or a parable, about a garden that lives in our hearts. I am serious, miniBFFs! There is a story in the bible about Jesus being the vine and we are the branches. Do you know who the gardener is? God! That's right! This episode dives more into the topic of tending to the garden that lives inside of us and why it is important to take care of it.

Moses is a big part of the old testament in the bible and there are a lot of stories about him.

Do you like to run? Well, miniBFFs, I don't really love running. I kind of only like to run if I am in a race with someone or playing my favorite sport, soccer.

Y'all know I love talking about being brave. I mean, we spent an entire two weeks on this podcast focusing just on that topic alone. So of course I love the story from the bible about three very brave men named - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendnego.

Have you ever had a moment where you wanted to scream “Hey! That's not fair!”? Well, I for sure have! And guess what? There were people in the Bible who felt that way too.
