Waiting and Watching in Wonder | Week 1: When God Meets Us In Barren Places - Bethany Mortelliti

As we begin Advent, we remember that this season invites us to slow down and pay attention to God, who works in hidden, unexpected places. Through the story of Elizabeth, we learn more about how God meets us in our barrenness—our unmet longings, delayed hopes, and quiet places of shame — and brings life where we least expect it. This week, we’re invited to make space for God in the places that feel empty, trusting that no word from Him will ever fail.
