In the over-commercialized and over-busy Christmas season, it’s easy for Christians to lose focus on the Advent journey. Prepare provides a four-week resource to help us listen to God’s call to faithfulness in Jesus being made flesh in our world. When we hear that call, how do we hope and pray and change and live differently? Daily, five-minute devotions include an Advent scripture verse, a reflection, and a prayer.
Bethany Fellows from around the United States wrote the devotions in Prepare. Since 1999 Bethany Fellows has served congregations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) by helping newly ordained, young pastors transition from seminary to sustained congregational ministry with a strong and healthy pastoral identity. An ecumenical Bethany group has been serving young pastors from various denominations since 2014. Cara Gilger, editor, is an author, artist, and minister who has served churches in Texas, Tennessee and Indiana for more than 15 years.
