The first Sunday of Advent is the week of HOPE. And instead of starting in the gospels, we often are called back to the prophets. Why? What can the prophets teach us about Hope. Advent also starts in the dark. We don't have all the bells and carols and ornaments just yet. First we slow down and move into darkness. Why? What do we learn when we embrace the darkness? In this episode we hear some quotes from Walter Brueggemann's book The Prophetic Imagination. You can find this book here: https://www.amazon.com/Prophetic-Imagination-2nd-Walter-Brueggemann/dp/0800632877 Inspiration for this episode was also drawn from conversations between Alexander Shia and Rob Bell. You can find one such conversation here: https://robbell.podbean.com/e/episode-60-the-christmas-radiance-at-night-with-alexander-shaia/ Thanks!
