Advent Week 1: Hope Through Prophecy

In this first episode of Embracing Sacred Cycles, host Amy Sedgwick introduces the meaning of Advent and outlines what listeners can expect over the next six weeks as the podcast journeys through themes of hope, peace, joy, and love.

Amy explores the theme of hope through ancient prophecies pointing to the Savior’s birth, beginning with Nephi’s vision of the Tree of Life. She examines the symbolism of Mary as a representation of the Divine Feminine and the condescension of God, offering profound insights into the spiritual preparation for the Christmas season. The episode also highlights Samuel the Lamanite’s bold prophecy of Christ’s birth and its enduring relevance in inspiring hope today.
