As we begin the Advent season, Gideon Tsang reflects on what we are paying attention to during this Advent season [Luke 21:29-36].

Reflection

• What would you like to pay attention to in this advent season?
• How can you slow and quiet down your life to experience God’s gentle nearness?

Resources

• Video: The Secret Rhythm Behind Radiohead’s “Videotape”
• Book: Heart and Mind: The Four Gospel Journey for Radical Transformation (Alexander Shaia)
• Book: The Gift of Being Yourself (David Benner)

Spiritual Practice

1. Reflect on your season of faith.  What season of faith are you in? Meditate on the gospel of your current season (Matthew – fall, Mark -winter, John -spring, Luke – summer). Start a seasonal book club.
2. Reflect on God’s stillness.  Create an advent sound journal.  What’s the noisiest part of your life?  How can you turn it down or hit pause?
