Advent Podcast 2025 🎄 // PREVIEW EPISODE // Rev. Dr. Joseph McBrayer
from The Oak Grove UMC Podcast
This preview episode features Rev. Dr. Joseph McBrayer, Associate Pastor of Connection & Digital Ministry introducing the Advent Devotional Guide for 2025. The Advent Podcast will come out each Tuesday in December. Each week one of our pastors will read through a portion of the “Starry Nights” Advent Devotional Guide including scripture, prayers, musings on stars and the night sky, and more. Advent is a season of waiting, watching, and wonder. Not like “waiting in line,” but rather like waiting for a concert to begin, a love letter to arrive, or the stars to come out on a cold, clear night. A time of anticipation, expectation, and excitement. A time of renewing our hope, peace, joy, and love, getting ready for the marvel on the way. Journey along together this Advent (the season leading up to Christmas) by utilizing the Advent Devotional Guide.
