We had some technical issues with the audio originally uploaded with these and other episodes from our Advent series. We apologize for the poor listening quality and hope you will give these episodes another chance with this new track upload.
Welcome to Advent
The clashing of kingdoms becomes quite evident during the holidays. One kingdom is loud, neon, consumer driven and exhausting. It doesn’t ask your permission to invade your life. Black Friday, Cyber Monday – shopping days that have evolved into national holidays. Anyone can get drawn into the frenzy of it all, and when they do, they just might miss the invitation to withdraw from ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree. The alternative kingdom will always lead with an invitation. To accept this invitation is to choose stillness, reflection, and anticipation. This is Advent. A season of waiting. A season of longing. A season of prayer, and hope, and joy.
This week, my only goal is to invite you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle so that you might find a sense of silence and deep stillness. Come with me. Become more quiet in your soul. Be more still. And wait.
