In which keeping track of whether we're talking about John the Baptist or John the Evangelist is hard. We've also got metaphor, tabernacles, and fleshiness to consider in this week's episode. We pray that God has made your Advent a holy and hope-filled season so far, preachers.

How many different times can we say the word "house?" Honestly folks, this gap is the most baffling yet in terms of wondering why on earth the verses were taken out, but we found lots of connections for Advent 4 and even bridging to Christmas Eve in this one. It's been an amazing year of Mind the Gap, and we can't wait to do more text study with you in 2024!

"God is everywhere" is both law and gospel. Where do you feel pulled to preach this week: vocation? prejudice? self esteem? We love being in our Psalms Era.

Are you looking for examples of repentance or justice to use in your preaching? This week's gap has a great blueprint for both of those. It also makes great connections with the gospel reading and even the larger liturgical season.

Sometimes, no matter how much we prepare, studying scripture brings us to places we didn't anticipate. We're leaning into the tension that the season of Advent holds: light and dark, already and not yet. Keep awake, preachers.
