20. The Furnace of Transformation: An Advent Reflection with Pete Burak

For the first time, The Hour has no guest, just Pete. In an effort to help us prepare for Christmas, Pete revisits The Way of the Heart by Henri Nouwen to focus on the difficult but non-negotiable need for solitude. Pete ties this solitude to compassion and drops an incredible quote from Pope Francis on reaching out and touching the suffering flesh of Christ in others. Our world needs more compassion and Nouwen makes it clear that this ability to 'suffer with' is born from time alone with God. Sponsor: Renewal Ministries Music: Landslide by Connor Flanagan
