Joy as Resistance: Mary, the Magnificat, and a Faith Lived Out Loud
What if joy isn’t soft or sentimental—but brave?
In this Advent sermon, Rev. Rachel reflects on Mary’s Magnificat (Luke 1:47–55) and the deep joy that rises from the margins. Drawing from Mujerista theology and the witness of Our Lady of Guadalupe, this message explores how joy has long been a way oppressed communities survive, resist, and tell the truth about God.
Mary’s song doesn’t ignore suffering. It names injustice, lifts up the lowly, feeds the hungry, and dares to believe the world can turn. This episode invites listeners to see faith not only as something we hold privately, but something we live out publicly—through justice, dignity, and love made visible.
Recorded at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas, this sermon is part of our Advent series and reflects Oak Lawn’s commitment to inclusive, justice-rooted Christianity that shows up in real life.
If you’re searching for progressive Christian preaching, Advent reflections, sermons on Mary and the Magnificat, or a church where faith meets justice, this episode is for you.
