Diving into the stories of the Gospels' angelic appearances as well as other Scriptures calling us to live courageously, Erin Wathen offers weekly and daily readings that call us to overcome our fears in order to live more fully as followers of Christ. Angelic encounters in the Bible all open with the same line: "Don't be afraid!" making clear that God's call on our lives can be terrifying as well as astounding. The angels who appeared to Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, and the shepherds of Bethlehem began with the same message, inviting these key players in Jesus' birth story to overcome their fear and join in God's transforming work. We, too, receive an invitation in this bold and inspirational Advent study. Pastor Erin Wathen's unique approach blends biblical wisdom and spiritual care with a powerful call to faithful action.
