Episode Synopsis

This Christmas Eve, despite the challenge we can feel to believe this story of God coming to us through a boy in ancient Palestine, I invite you to imagine it afresh with me. It may not be easy to believe, but the gift of the story is in its humanity. A God who knows what it is to sit with a mother in the quiet. A God who knows the sweet slowness of a sunset. A God who has had to learn some manners. What if we cling to the small deliberate truths of God-with-us actually means.  Take some time to sit with Episode 5 of The Slow Way, to quiet your body and come close to God.  Links: This reflection and practice were also published this week in The Slow Way Newsletter.
