Step into Advent with this captivating study and devotional, where angelic encounters come to life, echoing the timeless message of overcoming fear.

What would you do if you were not afraid?

Life can be daunting, filled with uncertainty and fears. It wasn't any different two thousand years ago when Jesus was born. An aged priest is told he is about to become a father for the first time. A young woman is told she is going to give birth - outside the protection of marriage. A simple carpenter is asked to believe the impossible. A group of shepherds' night on a hill is interrupted by a bright host of angels in the sky.

Yet, each of these encounters begins with the same refrain: do not be afraid.

Those words, though, are not just words of comfort; they are an invitation and a calling from God. In this captivating Advent study and devotional, pastor Erin Wathen challenges us to take this timeless message and apply it to our lives today. Calling All Angels asks us to contemplate what would change in our relationships, vocations, congregations, and communities if we have the courage to overcome our fears like Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, and the Shepherds in the story.

Included in this book are:
  • Weekly studies perfect for individuals or groups
  • Questions for reflection and discussion
  • Daily reflections
  • Worship resources including liturgies, prayers, and children's moments
  • An uplifting playlist to accompany you through the Advent season

 

Free videos featuring the author are available online - perfect for beginning weekly studies, sparking meaningful conversations, and deepening your understanding of that week's story.

Step into Advent where stories of angelic encounters come to life, echoing the timeless message of overcoming fear. Just like the characters in the nativity story, we're invited to embrace courage and join in God's transformative work.

Erin Wathen serves as the Senior Pastor at Saint Andrew Christian Church in Olathe, Kansas, and writes the popular blog Irreverin on the Patheos network. She is author of More than Words: 1 Values for the Modern Family.
