Week 1 of Advent has arrived! How are you observing it this year, Faith Made Welcome listeners? Over the next four weeks the FMW team is observing it by way of deep dive conversations with CBC community members.
Yesterday marked the lighting of the Hope candle and so today we bring you the “Hope” episode. If you’re expecting a cheery conversation about all the things we’re hopeful Santa (or Jesus) might bring us this year...well, you might need a different podcast!
This week you’ll hear Robin, Cheri and Paul sit down with church members Eric Spiegel (back from our Hocus Pocus episodes and still Cheri’s man friend!) and Casey Pick (church finance committee chair, musician, activist, and woman always ready to drop some KNOWLEDGE) for a frank conversation about how we approach hope; wrestle with hope; and try to keep hope while working for a better reality. Casey helps us to think about the role of anger and courage in hope, while Eric helps us remember why all hopeful souls need skeptics in their lives.
How do you relate to hope? What does your relationship with it look like this year in particular? We’d love to hear from you and keep our hope conversation going throughout the week! Join us to chat about it on the Commonwealth Baptist Church Facebook page thread!
