Advent 2 - Refining Fire: Advent’s Call to Prepare the Heart
Mother Rebecca reflects on our Advent encounter with John the Baptist and the anxiety surrounding divine judgment. Drawing on Scripture and theologian Barbara Brown Taylor, they explore God’s fire as purifying rather than destructive. They invite listeners to welcome this refining fire, repent, confront inner darkness, and prepare joyfully for Christ’s coming.
