Listen "Waiting in the Dark"
Episode Synopsis
Send us your questions and reflections!In today’s Advent episode, we explore what it means to wait well when life feels dark, unformed, or uncertain. Long before the first Christmas, Scripture opens with a scene of deep darkness—yet God is present, hovering over the waters, preparing creation for light. John’s Gospel echoes this beginning and reveals the stunning truth: the Word who brought light into the world is Jesus, the Light that darkness cannot overcome.This episode invites listeners to reflect on God’s quiet, unseen work in their own seasons of waiting. We look at how the Spirit’s gentle “hovering” in Genesis mirrors the way God moves toward us today, shaping new creation long before we can see it. And we discover how silence becomes a spiritual discipline that helps us trust God’s timing and listen for the voice of the Word.Practical guidance includes a simple three-minute exercise in stillness—an opportunity to sit before God, breathe, listen, and allow Christ’s light to speak into places of fear, confusion, or longing.Advent reminds us that God often begins His greatest work in the dark. Before creation, before Bethlehem, before light breaks through—God is already present. And in Jesus, the Light of the world, we find the One who continues to shine in every darkness we face.
