010 Longing for the Light ~ with David Wells [Podcast]

In this episode Jo Boyce is back with author, speaker and catechist David Wells to reflect on our longing for light in the darkness.

In many ways, celebrating Advent and Christmas during a pandemic has made themes of hope and longing feel more relevant that ever.

As Jo and David share their reflections, we hope you will be encouraged to hold firm to faith in the present as we look forward to a brighter time in the future.
