On the 4th Sunday of Advent, Pastor LyAnna explores Joseph's story—the often-overlooked figure in the nativity who faced fear, scandal, and an impossible choice. When Mary showed up pregnant, Joseph's world turned upside down. But instead of going it alone, he chose to "go with"—to journey alongside Mary despite his fears. This sermon asks: Why do we so often choose isolation over reaching out when life gets hard? Pastor LyAnna reminds us that asking for help isn't weakness—it's brave. And being there for others isn't about saving them; it's about not looking away. Through practical tools (like the "sunflower emoji" hack for marking your trusted people in your phone) and a hands-on exercise in the service, this message invites us to practice what it means to truly bear witness to one another's stories and to remember: we're made for mutual interdependence, not isolation.
