Listen "656 Luke 1:26–38 - Let It Be: Mary’s Yes to God"
Episode Synopsis
Monday, December 8th: Episode 656 explores Luke 1:26–38, the passage where the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear the Son of God. The episode looks closely at Mary’s fear, her honest question, and ultimately her surrendered response. We explore how God often begins His greatest works in ordinary places and with ordinary people. Mary’s “let it be to me according to Your word” becomes a model of Advent faith — trusting God before knowing all the answers. The episode contrasts Mary’s response with Zechariah’s earlier doubt, highlighting the difference between honest curiosity and control. Gabriel’s promise that “no word from God will ever fail” points to the reliability of God’s character and timing. Listeners are invited to reflect on ways God may be interrupting their plans with His purpose. The episode encourages a posture of surrender as Advent begins, reminding us that obedience is the doorway to God’s mission.Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
