Alan Gregory, Principal of St Augustine’s College of Theology, returns with the wisdom and warmth listeners love. This Advent, he draws on the prophet Isaiah to show how God surprises us in life-changing ways.

In episode 2, ‘Isaiah’, you’ll hear how holiness meets human frailty, and why Isaiah’s ‘Woe is me’ still speaks today. You’ll also hear how God helps us face life with courage and love.

Alan also explores the heartbreak in Isaiah’s calling and the quiet hope that leads us to Christ. Through visions of smoke, shaking thresholds, and God’s grief, he invites you to notice Christ’s presence in the unexpected this Advent.

If you’ve ever longed to see God amid noise, fear, or doubt, this episode is for you.
