This Christmas week, we talk a little about what we do not know and the goodness of our ignorance in our life with God.

The reflections in this series stem from my (re)launched book, The Practice of Remembering: Uncovering the Place of Memories in Our Spiritual Life.

I reference a poem by Wendell Berry, called Manifesto: Mad Farmer Liberation Front and a quote from Karl Barth that can be found in the book Watch For the Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas.

This week begins a limited series of reflections on Advent called “Advent Memories.”

In week 1, I offer a few thoughts about moments of wonder in my own life and how Advent is a time where we remember the wonders of the past so we can anticipate the wonders of Jesus yet to come.

The reflections stem from my (re)launched book, The Practice of Remembering: Uncovering the Place of Memories in Our Spiritual Life.

This is a reboot of my 2019 book, As I Recall, that won the 2020 Christianity Today Award of Merit in Spiritual Formation.

A new meditation will drop each week, and I believe they are wonderful companions to the book as well.

In this episode we talk with author Tasha Jun about growing up in a Korean-American family and finding belonging through faith, family, and community.

Tasha is a Korean American melancholy dreamer, wife, and mom, who grew up in a multicultural and biracial home. She's spent her life navigating liminal space. Writing has always been the way God has led her through the ache and towards the hope of shalom. Her debut book, Tell Me the Dream Again: Reflections on Family, and the Sacred Work of Belonging is available now, wherever books are sold. Find her at https://www.tashajun.com or sign up for her monthly notes at https://shalomsick.substack.com

You can find Tasha’s recent book here and you can also pre-order my re-released book, The Practice of Remembering: Uncovering the Place of Memories In Our Spiritual Life here.
