We live in an anxious world. Many of us carry a quiet sense of pressure through our days. We worry about family, health, finances, work, current events, and the future. Even in moments of rest, our minds can keep racing. Anxiety has a way of making life feel unsteady. That is why Psalm 23 remains such a gift.

Ultimately, the goal of this piece is for us to begin to understand the danger and meaning behind the words we choose to use to describe Islam and Judaism within the world today. Because when we go about this out of ignorance, culture wars, patriotism, or some other faulty theological ideology, we not only cause harm to others, but potentially mock our own faith as well.

Every year at this time, we try to look back at a common theme we have either seen or addressed or both. This year, there has been a consistent topic that has come back time and time again on both the Misfits programming and within the KFM Network as a whole: that the will of God is the redemption of all mankind. So for Advent this year, we wanted to take some time and reflect on how this fits into the Advent season.
