The readings for this week for the 2nd Sunday in Advent are: Baruch 5:1-9, or Malachi 3:1-4, Luke 1:68-79, Philippians 1:3-1, and Luke 3:1-6. This week we look how there are multiple animals that go through a process of preparing for the upcoming season. In this process, or eating food, it also leaves behind something that will last generations long after us. Are we willing to do the same and see it as part of our faith journey? Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:

Where are you preparing the way for future generations; human and non-human? #FaithandSciPod
