Advent Series: The Will to Dream
Join us for this 6-week Advent series rooted in prophetic imagination—a phrase powerfully explored by the late theologian and biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann—in the sacred practice to see beyond what is and move toward what could be. Each week, we will explore a theme rooted in one of our lectionary readings and engage the theme through a variety of approaches, including Bible Study, art, our own experiences, spiritual practices, and more.
This Advent series provides tools to help us confront despair, embody justice, and claim hope as a radical act. From Isaiah’s vision to Mary’s song, we will find ourselves in the story—and begin to dream not as escape, but as spiritual resistance.
Read more from the creators about The Will to Dream: In this time of upheaval, we find trust is fragile, truth contested, and spaces between us feel harder to cross. Divisions stretch far and wide. The constant churn of political tension leaves many feeling anxious and uncertain. Community feels strained, and connection is harder to come by. Hearts are weary, and souls unsettled, and people of all perspectives are searching—not just for answers, but for understanding, healing, and hope.
This ache is not weakness; it is a holy longing—a sacred desire for a world made whole. From this longing comes the will to dream—a persistent courage to imagine, resist, and rebuild a better world. Join us this Advent through Epiphany as we turn to the wisdom of the prophets, lament systems that value power over people, and dream of what could be.
