Ep 40 // Untangled Advent // Act Four // The Blessing (Luke 1:39-45)

This is the fourth of five episodes designed to take you through the season of advent in deep study, reflection, and expectant faith!

(This study was originally titled "O Weary World Rejoice" so you will hear me refer to that in the episodes. It has been re-branded as Untangled Advent. Grab your companion study devotional -> untangledadvent.com)

Grab the paired Spotify worship playlist as well to augment the atmosphere in your home!

Join Megan as she explores:

The next section in Luke (1:39-45)
How can Mary’s actions bless, inspire, and encourage us in our faith walk
What does Kingdom blessing look like?
The ripple effect of blessing that comes to others because of our obedience.
The danger of comparison in the family of God.
The importance of connecting the dots of testimony for greater faith.
What God is doing in your life is not in isolation!
How Jesus deconstructs the idea of “blessing” - how does it differ from what the world wants to sell us?
The idea of Kingdom math!

Personal Reflection Questions:

What has God told you ALREADY about how to live your life?
Is there any area in which you are procrastinating doing what God has invited you to do? If yes, what is holding you back from walking in active faith?
Who could you go to who will encourage you and strengthen your faith?
How are you tempted to compare your life vs. what you see in other people’s lives?

Megan is excited to walk this journey with you! Join her to have conversations on reframing life, love, and calling to live the life God has so purposefully created for you.

Quotable Quotes:

“We can look at someone else's life and wonder why they are prospering and I’m not. But that is not the ‘Kingdom way’.”

“Your obedient faith is a lighthouse for those coming behind you.”
