Episode Details

We set up in rainy Rome to begin Advent with a call to holy interruption: slow down, prepare your heart, and let God change your pace. From parish pilgrims and basilicas to Mary’s quiet power, we share practical ways to live a countercultural Advent and arrive at Christmas ready.

• being in Rome with parish pilgrims for the Jubilee year
• why Advent should interrupt rushing to Christmas
• keeping the season distinct with patience and prayer
• parish Advent challenge on the Hallow app
• building God’s kingdom over our own attachments
• practical home practices: wreaths, an “Advent bush,” confession
• putting on Christ as armor, not jewelry
• Mary’s silent presence and a Roman conversion story
• expectant hope with Mary and Joseph toward Bethlehem
