Welcome to week three of the Stories & Other Things Holy Advent series!

This week, Dr. Terry Nelson-Johnson reflects on Joyce Rupp’s stirring words about birthing new life and Meister Eckhart’s challenge for all of us to become “mothers of God.” Advent isn’t just about commemorating a past event—it’s about making space for God to be born in us today.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The concept of spiritual availability: Are you willing to be open to God’s work in your life?
  • Joyce Rupp’s prayer for trusting the birthing process of the Spirit
  • Advent as a “Lamas class for believers”—a time of preparation and courage

Let this reflection inspire you to endure the sweat and the groans of spiritual growth, trusting that new life is waiting to burst forth.

Prayers to Sophia: A Companion to "The Star in My Heart" (Amazon)
The Star in My Heart: Discovering Inner Wisdom (Amazon)
Vessels of Love: Prayers and Poems for the Later Years of Life (New - Amazon)

💬 Reflection Prompts:

  1. Where might God be inviting you to create space for something new in your life?
  2. What does spiritual availability mean to you this Advent season?
  3. How can you practice courage and trust in the unknown?
