In this episode we share some prayers, poems and reflections for this unique Advent Season. We'd like to extend a big thank you to friends of the podcast; poets Sarah Bourns Crosby and Will Small for their inspiring and powerful words and contributions. Finally we'd also like to thank you all for listening to and supporting the podcast during 2023. We hope this reflective episode will give you something to ponder, perhaps give you something to discuss with others but ultimately draw you closer into the presence of Christ. May God bless you richly this Advent season and Merry Christmas!
