Jen Ludwig is a Jesus-follower, wife, and mother of two teens. She is an author, worship leader, and songwriter—and has always had a special place in her heart for Christmas. She loves encouraging women during this stressful season and using the open door it provides to speak to friends and neighbors about Jesus’s birth. She embraces Advent in her own home by inviting her family to the kitchen table around the Advent wreath and by hosting wine-and-cheese parties with friends where she can sing and talk about the gifts of hope, peace, joy and love that God offers us all every Christmas and every day.
