Advent was meant for those with dread in their hearts. After all, God incarnated into a world of similar darkness to what we're expereincing today. Yet, that tells us that these are precisely the conditions ripe enough to receive the most miraculous of Divine intervention. Today's episode is all about taking a fearless inventory of the darkness so that we can attune our eyes to a world ablaze with unexpected grace.

Erika Kirk spoke life and love at her husband's memorial service, announcing her resolve to forgive the man who killed her husband. Her leadership and inspiration drew the stadium of Christian folk to their feet as they wept and worshipped God with her.

Only moments between, these same people cheered as President Donald Trump and his Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, spewed literal hatred and division.

The same crowd worshipped God and cheered on hatred at the same time.

Today's episode explores this moment and what it says about American Christianit Nationalists' complete loss of the plot of their own faith.

On today's episode we will simply roll around in the gold that I found on August 31st as I was ordained into ministry.

Join me as I celebrate this day with joy and also with tears of grief as I count the cost of gender based hierarchy in the Family of God.
