The readings this week invite us to reflect on what true leadership looks like—and it’s not always what we expect. As we’ll see, the readings highlight shepherds and servants, women who defy the norms of their time, and leaders who focus on lasting solutions rather than quick fixes. They challenge us to think about how we empower those unique voices and those creative problem-solvers who genuinely feel called to lead.
Welcome to 'Mythologizing the Bible' - 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 4th 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’ll explore why leadership is about more than authority—it’s about service, authenticity, and lifting up others. And we’ll ask some tough questions: Why do so many systems still favor the powerful over the marginalized? What can we do to break the cycle of exclusion?
The lessons we’ll uncover in these ancient stories are surprisingly relevant to our lives today. Whether you’re looking for inspiration in your own leadership or wondering how to support someone stepping into their calling, this episode will leave you with plenty to think about—and maybe a new perspective or two!
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 4th Sunday in Advent, Cycle C of the Roman Catholic Lectionary.
