Advent—The Light (Week Four)

The final installation of our advent series meditating on these three truths: God is light, God sent His light into the world through Christ, we are called to walk as children of the light.

Advent—The Shepherd (Week Three)

Christmas is a joyful, but also a tender time. For many, this season brings up feelings of guilt, grief, & sadness. Therefore, as we prepare our hearts for Christmas, it is good to remember that Christ comes both as a king and shepherd. His heart toward us is tender, loving, & patient. This week, I explore the theme of Christ as the promised shepherd with my dear Gwennie through Isaiah, Hinds Feet on High Places, Handel's Messiah, and Manchester by the sea.

Mary, the God-bearer, shows us what it looks like to receive Christ. Join me this week as we meditate on the Magnificat, the Consolation of Eve, and Thomas Tallis' beautiful setting of her words.

Advent - The Coming (week one)

Join me in our journey through advent! I explain the history of advent, the theme of advent, and some ways you can celebrate it, all through the lens of beautiful art.
