UNFKD Episode 13 - EPIPHANY & THE 'BAD' YEAR
In this episode of Fkd Up by Faith: UNFKD, as we step into 2025, I indulge a pet peeve, reflecting on the way we always seem to label the previous year as a 'bad' year and hope that the next one will be better! I explore how the privilege of geography, culture and history shapes this perspective. I also consider the significance of the Christian feast of Epiphany—a celebration of revelation and light breaking into the world— and how it can (and perhaps should) demonstrate hope in action as we welcome in a New Year with purpose.

The "Christ Has No Body "Prayer is attributed to St. Teresa of Avila, but it is not found in her writings. Much like the prayer of St. Francis its sentiment is pure even if the author is suspect!
