Peace in Disorienting Times | Week 1 | November 30 Worship Gathering | Jason Gaskin

Storied Church

This past Sunday, we began our Advent series, Peace in Disorienting Times. Advent invites us into the tension of the “not yet,” where life often feels unsettled, uncertain, or even overwhelming. Drawing from voices like Walter Brueggemann and Howard Thurman, we explore how disorientation can become a space for formation—where honesty, vulnerability, and patience open us to new understanding. We look at the story of Mary, the message of the angels, and the biblical vision of shalom as a wholeness that embraces both our physical and spiritual wellbeing. Together, we consider how practicing hospitality, connection, and presence with one another becomes a pathway toward peace.
