Get ready to embrace something entirely new as Project Zion Podcast co-hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith delve into today’s lectionary passage from the book of Mark. Unlike a traditional birth narrative or a divine lineage, Mark's passage swiftly focuses on preparing the way for someone greater. The co-hosts explore the task assigned to John the Baptist and its relevance to all of us. This episode offers a chance to reflect on the opportunities that should be considered in preparation for the upcoming Advent Season.
