Why is it that Mary matters at Christmas? What is her role in the story of God's love?

For this episode of @praytellthepod, Tyler and Trevor explore the theme of love in Advent by looking at the role of Mary in the Christmas story - her role as the mother of Jesus and her willing response to obey God's call. 

The guys also discuss the intriguing parallels between Old Testament promises of a dwelling place for God and how this ultimately happens unexpectedly and mysteriously in Mary. You'll hear their takes on balancing different perspectives on Mary's role, from Catholic veneration to Protestant suppression, as well as seeing God's profound love through His relentless pursuit of wayward people. 

And if you're looking for a life-giving, Christ-centered, inclusive place of worship this holiday season, come visit us at St. Matthew's Anglican Church in Abbotsford!  We're located at...
