Ep42. The Second Annual Advent Special Spectacular! with Kara N Slade

I sat down with the Rev’d Canon Dr Kara N Slade to talk Advent. We discuss judgment, hope, time and the church calendar, progress, music, navigating symbols of light and dark, preaching as invitation, Christmas coming with a bang, liturgy, and important Advent theologians such as Fleming Rutledge and Karl Barth.
