You know, when we hear the word peace, we usually think of serenity. Maybe silence. Sure, that’s part of it.

But here’s what I’ve learned: I need peace when my life is in chaos! And God gives us peace . . .  even when our world is in turmoil. 

Think about Mary giving birth to Jesus. She was the absolute picture of peace. But Bethlehem?  Anything but peaceful! Just like our world today is filled with political tension, economic pressure, and rampant secularism. Yet Mary had peace.

Remember what Paul wrote to the Philippians? He said that God’s peace protects our minds and hearts when—get this!—when, in faith, we release our resources. 

So let me ask you something. Would you be willing to step out in faith with your giving in order to share the light of Christ? 

Every gift you give at year-end shows your confidence in His provision. It demonstrates trust that He’ll take care of you while you’re taking care of His work. 

This Advent season, your contribution to Insight for Living brings this “peace that surpasses all understanding” to everyone who hears, just like a bright lamp, through our radio broadcasts, digital platforms, and all of our companion resources. 

Together, as pilgrims living in dark times, let’s share the Prince of Peace! 

Sometimes the word hope is misconstrued. Hope isn’t making a wish on a star. It’s not like throwing pennies into a fountain. 

Let me give you a better definition of hope: it’s trusting God’s promises before we see the results.  That’s the earth-shattering power of biblical hope!

Every day through Insight for Living we open the Bible together, and I’ve witnessed how His Word sparks hope in hearts around the world. It’s like dawn chasing away the night. 

Sure, this year has been particularly dark. We’ve lost some beloved spiritual leaders. Some to age. Others were taken suddenly. Our hearts have been broken. Plus, there’s unrest in the public arena. A spirit of darkness is moving across our land.  

 But here’s what I know—and it thrills me: the light of Christ still shines bright. And together, we have the privilege to carry His torch into the dark corners of our world.  

Through radio broadcasts, through millions of visits to our website and mobile app, through countless social media connections—Insight for Living continues to share the hope found only in Christ. 

But we cannot do this alone. We need partners like you! 

This Advent season, your generous contribution ignites hope. Together, let’s shine the light of Christ into a dark and despairing world.
