As always, Amanda, I'm beyond blessed by your words. And God's grace as you help serve the spiritual and intellectual needs of those who are seeking to better understand their faith—and love God. It is sacred work. And you are the one for it. Also, so glad you are engaging Ian's work. His book is fabulous.
Bless you! Thanks for the book recommendations and music list. I love the season and truly appreciate Advent and the opportunity to immerse myself in the meaning of the season.
I used to get oranges and apples and usually some nuts in my stocking when I was a kid. I always wondered why. I love the story about your granny and the oranges and their history. Beautiful.

Goodness, this is just so, so kind. Thank you for all the encouragement!
I do love it here, Amanda. Your wise, gentle voice is a deep encouragement in a world of unsettling clamor. I see Jesus in your words.
Thank you for these kind words!

I've walked this same journey as you have. Over the last two years, I have come back to my faith stronger than ever before. It feels like home.
Really loved your thoughts here Amanda! I’m also journeying through Malcolm’s Advent book this year as well!

This is wonderful. Thank you, Amanda.
Thank YOU!
Love this and love you. Thank you for your labor of love in writing this through. And the playlist! Gah! I am so into it. What a gift.
yay, so glad you love the playlist!!!
Loved Tara Isabella Burton's book! It really helped me map the spiritual landscape beyond the boundaries I grew up in.
Yes! I think it's a must-read for folks trying to navigate life in a post-Christian world
This is the only Advent-y thing I've been able to bring myself to read so far this year. Thank you. It was a good, gentle reminder.
Glad it resonated with you!
