Why would God choose such a young woman to be the mother of Jesus? Kaitlyn Schiess reflects on Mary’s age, vulnerability, and social position, and why those details matter so much in the Advent story. Drawing from Luke 1, they explore how God consistently works through surprising people, why Mary’s response is so different from Zechariah’s, and what this teaches us about faith, doubt, and trust. Mary shows us that faithful waiting isn’t about doubting whether God can do this, but about asking how we are meant to participate.

Just finished the episode and wanted to say that I laughed so hard at the pause in outro music for the punchline about the little drummer boy. Terriffic comedic touch, y'all.
