Lent Meditations - Desert - A Meditation on Isaiah 40 w/Dan
In this week of Lent, Dan leads us into a meditation on Isaiah 40. Like other images throughout scripture, the symbol of the desert carries complex meaning. Perhaps, you have used the desert as a metaphor in a variety of ways in your own spiritual journey. Maybe, you've used it to speak to a time of spiritual dryness or loneliness. Or, maybe it has represented a time of stillness and closeness to God. Or, perhaps, at different times, it has symbolized all of these things and more.
In this season, we retreat to the stillness and silence of the desert as a place of recentering and reconnecting to God. As we are moved out to meet God in the wilderness, we may hear the voice of encouragement and renewal. We may find ourselves in deeper ways as we go out to find deeper connection to God.
This episode is written and led by Dan Lee and produced by Tony Duppong, exclusively for the Urban Mystics Podcast.
