A Prophetic Pilgrimage

ADVENT 2025 RESOURCES
Sign post browns_edited.png

There are seasons when the road seems long—when our feet ache and our hearts wonder if the promise is still ahead. Yet again and again, God invites us onward. The prophets remind us that the journey itself can be holy ground: every exile, every valley, every dawn.


Unto Glory: A Prophetic Pilgrimage is our Advent journey this year. It is a walk through prophetic visions of hope, peace, joy, and love that lead us to the light of Christ. Each step draws us nearer to the manger, nearer to God’s dream for creation, and nearer to the truth of who we are called to be. So lace up your hearts, beloved travelers. The road is set before us. Let’s walk it together — unto glory. And if you have further suggestions of resources, that will illuminate our journey, let us know!
