First Baptist Church of Athens and Open to Explore Devotions will be bringing a new series of Advent Devotions for 2023. These daily podcast devotions will begin on Monday, December 4th. The focus for our 2023 devotions is the impact that music has on our experience of the Advent and Christmas season. In these podcasts you will hear about music which is special to our story tellers.

What is Open to Explore Devotions?
The Open to Explore Devotions podcast is produced by First Baptist Church of Athens, Georgia. Season 8 begins Monday, February 19 and offers daily devotions Monday through Friday during the season of Lent. The devotions are personal stories given by members and come from their personal life and journey in faith. Real people sharing their joys and sorrows, doubts and convictions, fears, hopes, and gratitude. The hope is that their insights will bring inspiration, encouragement, and discovery to others.
