Untangled Advent with Megan Nilsen, Finding Hope in a Weary World

from Theologically Fashioned · host monica ritchie

In this Advent conversation, writer and spiritual director Megan Nilsen helps us slow down, breathe deeply, and step into a deason that's often more chaotic than contemplative. Instead of chasing a perfect Advent, Megan invites us to an uncluttered posture - one that welcomes God in our limitations, our longings, and our everyday routines.    Together, we explore:  How to release the pressure of a "picture perfect" Advent What Scripture reveals about waiting, hope, and holy anticipation Why formation begins with honesty, not performance Rhythms that ground our emotions and quiet our hurried minds How to make space for God in the middle of real life, not ideal life If you're craving a season that feels more like rest than striving, presence over productivity, and sacred attentiveness instead of overwhelm, this episode will gently guide you back to the heart of Advent.    Find Megan  Instagram: @megan_nilsen Website: meganbnilsen.com

C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.) Firebrand Podcast David Watson The Firebrand Podcast (formerly Plain Truth: A Holy Spirited Podcast) is the official podcast of Firebrand Magazine and features Maggie Ulmer, Scott Kisker, and David F. Watson. In addition to providing interviews and recordings of featured articles, Maggie, Scott and David discuss culture, theology, Bible, and the work of the Holy Spirit, through the lens of the historic faith. You can expect the same humor and lively conversation as the Firebrand Podcast crew remains dedicated to resourcing listeners with Spirit-filled, theologically grounded, (somewhat) sanctified, Wesleyan content to help them "think Christianly" in today's swiftly changing landscape. History of the Netherlands Republic of Amsterdam Radio The incredible journey of the world’s most influential swamp and those who call it home. Beginning at the end of the last ice age and trekking all the way through to the modern era, together we step through the centuries and meet some of the cast of characters who fashioned and forged a boggy marshland into a vibrant mercantile society and then further into a sea-trotting global super-power before becoming the centre for modern day liberalism. My Comical Romance Alex Townsend and David Townsend A fun and fanciful romp through the cherished world of old-fashioned Romance Comic Books.
