Shownotes

Join Mark Parker, Academic Registrar and former student at St Augustine’s College of Theology, for the final episode in our Advent series.

This week, Mark reflects on the prophets Zechariah and Isaiah. He explores what it means to rejoice in God’s coming, looking back to Jesus’ first Advent and forward to the hope of what is yet to come.

You’ll hear how Jesus arrived humbly to bring salvation and peace, and how Isaiah invites us to imagine a future where God’s justice and love transform everything.

By the end, Mark hopes you’ll feel inspired to experience God in a fresh, joyful way this Advent.
