The holiday season is often a whirlwind—parties to attend, gifts to buy, traditions to uphold—but this week’s readings invite us to pause and reflect. What if we could approach this time of year differently? What if instead of going through the motions, we chose to start from a place of love and forgiveness? What if we opened our eyes to the goodness around us, held love in our hearts, and embraced accountability in a way that strengthens our connections with others?
Welcome to the Mythologizing the Bible podcast, where we’ll be taking a look at three readings from the Christian Bible through the lens of “sacred myth.”
As we reflect on the readings for the 2nd Sunday in Advent, we’re gonna look beyond the traditional Christian narrative to uncover a few lessons that should resonate with all of us, regardless of our religious background… or lack thereof.
In this episode, we’re exploring what it means to live genuinely during the holidays—beyond the rituals, beyond the stress, and beyond the pressure to meet expectations. Together, we’ll uncover practical, human-centered ways to bring more intention, kindness, and authenticity into the season. As we step into this week, let’s ask ourselves: How can we make this time about who we are, not who we think we’re supposed to be?
So grab a comfy seat, a glass of your favorite beverage, and let’s look at some ancient stories together in this edition of Mythologizing the Bible, where we’ll be exploring the readings for the 2nd Sunday in Advent, Cycle C of the Roman Catholic Lectionary.
