In this cozy year-end episode of Coffee Chat, hosts Amber and Lisa share heartwarming reflections over coffee (and some non-alcoholic eggnog!) about finding light in life's challenging moments.
Finding Joy in Unexpected Places
"Sometimes in the smallest thing I can hear God whispering and knocking. I'm here," Lisa shares, reflecting on how hope appears in unexpected moments. From last-minute Christmas trees to finding exact change for a craved McDonald's iced tea, the hosts discuss how life's little "coincidences" often carry deeper meaning.
The Gift of Perspective
One of the episode's most powerful moments comes when Amber discusses transforming our outlook:
"If you live in the past, you live with regret. If you live in the future, you live with anxiety... but if we really switch the narrative to us knowing that God is with us, we can look at the past and see the provision and look at the future and know we will be provided for."
Embracing the Season's Light
Lisa brings a beautiful perspective on winter's darkness:
"For me, I find myself getting drawn to those sparks of light and warmth... I look at those things and they make me cozy. They help remind me that the light of the world came through a very dark time."

Pause and Reflect
Take a moment to consider these questions after listening to the episode:
1. What challenging "gifts" from this past year have actually helped shape you into who you are today?
Where do you see small glimmers of hope in your daily life that you might be overlooking?
3. What activities or practices bring you joy that you've been neglecting? How can you incorporate them back into your life?
4. Who in your life might need someone to walk alongside them through a dark season? How can you be that light for them?
5. What situation in your life right now needs a shift in narrative from "happening to you" to "happening for you"?
