On Christmas Day, we celebrate the new thing God is doing! Hope is made flesh in the birth of Jesus. This final Advent reflection says, "Finally! He is breaking into our weary world!" It's time to party!

It's Christmas Eve. We pause in wonder as God’s Spirit brings newness beyond our control, reminding us that salvation comes in ways that we never saw coming.

Advent’s revolution starts within us, reshaping our hearts so that we can be a part of God’s healing work in the world.

Light is rising in the darkness. Advent invites us to wait with hope and notice that Light dawning into our lives.

Advent begins with a daring vision that God can break cycles of fear and violence, opening the possibility of a different kind of world; a world where weapons are turned into tools that cultivate goodness and beauty.

Waiting is sacred and it can also be the worst. Episode 22 sits with the concept of weariness during advent and listens for the strength God gives to those who have run out of steam.

“The Waiting Is the Hardest Part” invites us to step back from the noise of December and notice how God shows up in the tension, longing, and stillness of Advent. This episode helps us see waiting not as wasted time, but as sacred space where light begins to break in.

Episode 20 celebrates twenty weeks of The Echo Collective, and this milestone episode explores the deepest word of all; Love. Listen in as we trace the hebrew word hesed and the greek word agape through Scriptures and discover how God’s self-giving love reshapes and reorients our lives.

In this Episode (that is late...sorry! And happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 ), we explore what is meant by the word 'hope.' Hope in the Bible is not wishful thinking, but a deep confidence rooted in God Himself. We will look at the Hebrew word qavah and discuss the beautiful hope that was contained in Julian of Norwich.

Episode 18 explores the surprising depth behind the biblical words for “faith.' It isn't just belief. It's a steady and firm trust that shapes how we move through the world. In this episode we discover how faith becomes less about certainty and more about clinging to the God who is always faithful.
