Happy New Year!

Epiphany isn’t an afterthought—it’s the unveiling of the King. In this episode, the Monks walk through the Feast of the Epiphany in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer: the force of the Collect, Isaiah’s “Arise, shine,” and Matthew’s Gospel where nations begin to kneel. We unpack the Magi’s gifts (gold, frankincense, myrrh) as more than ancient tokens—they’re a pattern for Christian worship and mission today: crown Him as King, offer Him prayer, carry His cross. Along the way, we talk about Epiphanytide as a lived season: how the star teaches discernment, how the liturgy forms courage, and why this feast moves us from altar to city with joy.

In this conversation:

* The Epiphany Collect (1928 BCP): why its theology still steadies modern disciples

* Isaiah 60 & Matthew 2: light for the nations, hope for ordinary Mondays

* The Magi’s gifts as a rule of life: allegiance, adoration, self-offering

* Practicing Epiphanytide at home and parish: prayers, blessings, and small, bright habits

If Christmas proclaims God with us, Epiphany proclaims God for the world—and sends us. Follow the Light.
