Listen to the first episode of the new Advent audio retreat, “Longing and Hope”
To celebrate the season of Advent, St Augustine’s College of Theology is excited to share the first episode of our four-part series: “Longing and Hope.”
Join Biblical Studies Tutor Simon Stocks as he leads us in a thoughtful reflection on Advent’s themes of longing and hope.
“My heart shall rejoice in your salvation”
This episode invites you to reflect on hope and longing during Advent, as we experience life’s struggles with faith in God’s promise to renew all things.
In this spiritually recharging episode, Simon invites us to explore the tension between present struggles and the promise of renewal.
We’ll also take a fresh look at the Earth Bible Project, hearing creation’s voice amid ecological challenges and considering our role in its story.
