Across our church and our society, we are having profound dialogues about race, truth, justice, and healing. Join us this Advent for another year of Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community. We explore where dialogue intersects with our faith. Join us and our invited guests as we share prophetic voices and explore the readings for each week of Advent and Christmas Day through the lens of social justice.

You’ll hear ancient texts interpreted in new ways, find fodder for preaching and teaching, and make present day connections to the prophetic voices of the Bible. This podcast will help us rethink how we hear, see, and interact with the lectionary readings, refocusing from the rush of the Christmas season to the voice crying out in the wilderness. 

Our episode for Advent 1 will drop in late October 2025.
