In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Tish Harrison Warren about Advent. They discuss the beautiful ways that observing the church calendar provides intentional points of connection with the Holy Spirit, and how it affords the chance to learn the entirety of Scripture by working within the story communally throughout the year. Tish also talks about how the season of Advent not only connects us with the waiting of the past and the places where we’re still waiting for Jesus to come today.
