About Advent from Constant Wonder

Enjoy an audio advent calendar with a short episode for every day from December 1st through Christmas. Each episode invites thoughtful reflection on the season, inspired by nature’s miraculous phenomena (from a turtle hibernating through the cold of winter to tree sap that solidifies into frankincense) as well as music and art traditionally connected with the biblical story of the Nativity. Advent is a series from the Constant Wonder podcast, produced by BYUradio.
