Other contributors to the series include: Dr. Jeffrey Murdock (Peace), Rev. Dr. Lisa Allen-McLaurin (Joy), Rev. Dr. Alisha Lola Jones (Love), and Rev. Kendall Brown (Christmas Eve). Click here to read all five (5) reflections.

All of our stories begin before our births. Before Jesus is born, named eight days later, speaks in the temple, or is baptized by John, his story begins. Our parents’ lives, our communities, and our homes/homelands made our lives and living possible. It is so for our Savior, his family, and those who welcomed him into the world.

In thanks for the lessons, challenges, and celebrations that ushered Christ (and all of us) into this world, we spend each Sunday and Advent, and Christmas Eve with words from #WomanPreachNation.
