Discover how changed plans bring Advent joy.

See the Christmas story through the lens of disruption and delight. From Mary's unexpected calling and Joseph's change of plans, to shepherds startled by angels and magi redirected by a dream, the people of the Nativity all discovered that God's interruptions brought life, joy, and hope.

In this four-week Advent study, beloved pastor and teacher Susan Robb, author of The Angels of Christmas, explores how our own broken plans may open the way for God's presence, and how every holy surprise carries a blessing. This practical and comforting study helps you see your own changed plans in light of God's surprising presence, offering encouragement for real-life challenges during the Christmas season.

When life doesn't go as expected, God may be preparing something more beautiful than you imagined.
