Make a New Normal

Christmas

  • As the lectionary brings us to the season after the epiphany, we find ourselves jumping from story to story—but there’s a theme.

  • At the heart of the Christmas season is God’s generosity. And our struggle to restrain it works against the very point of the holy day.

  • Episode 60 of the Make Saints podcast

  • In the Feast of Stephen, we confront what light coming to break the darkness looks like in practice—when we face it in our midst.

  • John’s gospel invites us to see the scope of what we celebrate at Christmas: that an event changes how we see everything.

  • As we gather for Christmas Eve, we hear the story of the birth, the angels, and shepherds—and invited to hear that new things are in store.
