In this introductory episode for Season 6 of the Haven Women Podcast, Stacey sets the stage for what’s to come. Each week for the Christmas Collection Volume 2, we’ll explore the Advent themes through the lens of God’s attributes, drawing inspiration from Jen Wilkin's book, None Like Him.

This season, the focus will be on four attributes of God—infinite, incomprehensible, eternal, and immutable—and how they connect with our Advent themes.

1. Infinite Hope

2. Incomprehensible Peace

3. Eternal Joy

4. Immutable Love

It's going to be an AMAZING Christmas Season!

In this episode Stacey talks with special guest Nicole Zasowski. Nicole is a marriage and family therapist, and the author of What if It's Wonderful and the Bible Study caleld Daring Joy.

Stacey and Nicole answer questions like:

1. What obstacles keep us from loving God with all of our heart, soul, and mind?
2. Based on 2 Corinthiansn 10:5, what does it look like to take every thought captive to obey Christ?
3. Once we take these thoughts captive how do we replace them with truth and hopeful thinking?
4. Why does Joy feel risky? What is the reward?

The episode also reminds us s that renewing the mind requires repetition. Just as a well-worn path becomes easier to follow, repeatedly choosing truth helps create new emotional and spiritual habits.

Ultimately, the episode offers an invitation to pursue joy—even in difficult seasons. The central encouragement is to stop preparing only for the worst and begin asking,

“What if it’s wonderful?”

In this episode of the Haven Women Podcast, Stacey explores Colossians 3:10 and the ongoing process of spiritual renewal. She explains that becoming more like Christ happens as we grow in accurate knowledge of God—not simply collecting information about Him, but allowing that knowledge to transform who we are from the inside out.

The episode also offers practical ways to love God with our minds, including clearing mental clutter, filling our thoughts with Scripture, noticing beauty as a reflection of God’s character, and intentionally studying His Word with others.
