In this For God and Country Advent bonus episode, Jenny Beth Martin welcomes Global Methodist Minister Reverend Joel Mooneyhan for a meaningful discussion on the Advent theme of peace. Drawing from Matthew 2:1–12, Jenny Beth and Joel explore the journey of the wise men, the significance of their gifts, and what their story reveals about seeking Christ in uncertain times.
Joel breaks down how the wise men brought treasure, worship, and mourning—and how God invites us to bring these same offerings to Him today. Together, they reflect on why Christ offers a peace that the world cannot give, how believers can experience peace even in seasons of fear or hardship, and why Advent calls us to reorient our hearts toward God’s kingdom.
Whether you're facing stress, financial pressure, emotional burdens, or simply longing for spiritual calm, this episode offers an encouraging reminder that Christ’s peace is steady, present, and available to all who seek Him.
