S6 E23 | Rev. Dr. Tracey Bianchi | Waiting with Women (Advent Series Part 2): Hannah's Story and the Gift of Peace (Shalom)

In this episode of the Alabaster Jar Podcast, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Dr. Kelly Dippolito continue their Advent series with a focus on the theme of peace. They explore the biblical story of Hannah from 1 Samuel, drawing lessons about honest prayer, enduring hope, and the nature of biblical peace (shalom). They also compare cultural and biblical understandings of peace, reflect on the support of faithful partners, and connect Hannah’s story to Mary’s Magnificat.
