As we look closely at the fear and terror looming in the background during the time of King Herod, we invite you to consider the fears we hold now. Fear can divide and paralyze us, and even be used as a tool for oppression. What if naming our fears helps us see more clearly how God is breaking in and where God is at work? This Advent, we invite you to identify where fear is present—both in the Advent story and in our lives—while also finding our way toward hope, with the angels’ voices in our ears.
