Prepare for the Extraordinary

Imagine you knew someone life-changing was coming to visit. How would you ready yourself?

Advent invites us to actively prepare our hearts and lives for a Divine encounter. This season is about more than waiting - it's about anticipating the coming of Christ with hope and joy.

Through Isaiah, Peter, and Mark's gospel, we're awakened to embrace spiritual readiness. Their poetic words urge persistence, promise comfort, and remind us of God's perfect timing.

In this episode, we translate scripture's rich imagery and metaphors into relevant meaning for modern life. We'll contrast Christos time - God's divine moments - with Kronos time - humanity's earthly concept of time.

Together, we'll explore why self-reflection and returning to God are so important now. Our Biblical sacred texts highlight the beauty of God's living word to guide and renew us.

Isaiah speaks intimately to the heart during uncertain days. Second Peter offers tested wisdom for remaining steadfast. We'll dive into intriguing questions around this Letter's authorship while affirming its enduring message to persevere in faith.

Finally, Mark issues an urgent wake-up call to prepare inwardly for Christ's coming. How can we shake off spiritual sleepiness and actively anticipate the Lord?

Join me - Julie South - as together we walk the road to Bethlehem, awakening our hearts anew this Advent season. The extraordinary arrives through scripture’s timeless promise. Let’s prepare together.

Isaiah 40:1-5,9-11
2 Peter 3:8-14
Mark 1:1-8
