✨ Welcome to The Milk & Honey PrayerPod ✨

This is Episode 3 of our special Advent series.

In today’s guided meditation, we return to the Gospel of Luke (2:1–7) and journey to Bethlehem through prayerful imagination. Together, we walk alongside Mary and Joseph, experience the busyness of the town, and stand quietly at the manger as we witness the birth of Christ.

This episode invites you to slow down, engage your senses, and place yourself within the Scripture—encountering Jesus in humility, simplicity, and peace.

💛 Find a comfortable space, take a deep breath, and allow yourself to enter the story.

✨ Scripture: Luke 2:1–7

✨ Theme: The Birth of Jesus

✨ Format: Guided Christian meditation using imaginative prayer

✍️ Journal Reflection Questions:

Welcome to the Milk & Honey podcast, where we step into Scripture through guided imagination and prayer.

In this second episode of our Advent series, journey with Mary along a dusty Judean path as she travels to meet Elizabeth. Together, we’ll enter their joyful encounter—the moment John the Baptist leaps in the womb and Mary proclaims her song of praise.

Reflect on God’s presence in your own life as we explore themes of fellowship, faith, and the quiet ways God works within us.

Take a breath, invite the Lord into this space, and come with us into this beautiful moment of Scripture.

Reflective questions for journalling:

• How is God at work in your life?
• What has God revealed to you within this prayer time?
• What is one action you can do this week to carry Christ and share His love with those around you?

Welcome to this special three-part Advent series on The Milk & Honey Podcast, where we enter Scripture through guided imagination and prayer.

In this episode, we step into the moment when the angel Gabriel appears to Mary and announces the coming of Jesus in Luke 1:26-38. Together, we reflect on Mary’s experience—her perplexity, her courage, and her transformative 'yes' to God.

This meditation invites you to:

• Imagine the encounter between Mary and the angel Gabriel
• Reflect on Mary’s faith, humility, and surrender
• Listen for what God may be inviting you to say “yes” to during this season of Advent
• Rest in the presence of the Holy Spirit and allow the Lord to speak through thoughts, images, or Scripture

As we prepare our hearts for the birth of Jesus, this episode encourages stillness, attentiveness, and openness to God’s gentle invitations.

Journaling Prompts for Reflection

If you’d like to continue your prayer time after the episode:

• Sketch or describe the room you imagined and what Mary and Gabriel looked like to you.
• Reflect on how Mary might have felt in this encounter with angel Gabriel.
• Consider: What is God inviting me to say “yes” to in this season of preparation? What actions can you take in your daily lives to say 'yes' to God?
