Advent & Epiphany

Sacred Pauses

for the Weary Heart

Short, Christ-centered meditations from Advent through Epiphany for Christians who love the church year but feel stretched, unseen, or just plain tired.

Advent invites us to hope, but many of us enter this season carrying grief, exhaustion, or quiet disappointment. If you’re longing for God and also feeling worn thin, you’re not alone.

These Sacred Pauses are 7–12 minute, Scripture-soaked, shame-free meditations designed to help you rest in God’s presence—body, soul, and spirit—without pretending you’re “fine.”

What You’ll Receive from Advent through Epiphany

From the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany, you’ll receive gentle, guided support for this season:

  • A weekly Sacred Pause following the Advent and Epiphany journey

  • Meditations on themes like longing and hope, waiting and peace, simplicity and joy, humility and love, care at the manger, and returning to the light

  • Reflections that honor the church year and your real life, without spiritual performance or pressure

  • Occasional bonus Sacred Pauses for specific struggles (like holiday grief or food/body shame)

  • A shame-free, non-patriarchal, Christ-centered space to tend your body, soul, and spirit

Each Sacred Pause will arrive by email with a link to the meditation, so you can listen when and where it works for you.


This Is for You If…

  • You love the liturgical year but your actual life doesn’t look like a picture-perfect Advent

  • You’re carrying grief, fatigue, anxiety, or food/body shame into this season

  • You’re tired of spiritual performance and want a gentle, honest way to be with God

  • You long for wholeness in body, soul, and spirit, but don’t have capacity for another intense program or self-improvement plan

  • You’re a pastor, ministry leader, or faithful churchgoer who also needs space to be a human being with limits

If you read this and think, “That’s me,” you’re exactly who I had in mind when I created these Sacred Pauses.

ABOUT TAMMY

Hi, I’m Tammy!

I’m a pastor and the founder of My Full & Fulfilled Life, where I help Christians move toward wholeness in body, soul, and spirit through gentle, Christ-centered practices. I created Sacred Pauses for people who are faithful and tired, devoted and discouraged, hungry for God and also human.

These Advent & Epiphany Sacred Pauses grow out of my own story, my preaching, and my Three Hungers framework. They’re my way of saying: you don’t have to perform your way into God’s presence. You are already held.
