22. Savoring the Season (with AJ Sherrill)

Adam Ormord welcomes pastor and author, AJ Sherrill, to The Being Formed Podcast for a conversation about slowing down and savoring the gifts of Advent and Christmas in ways that will lead not to exhaustion but to transformation.

AJ Sherrill has led churches across the country from Southern California to New York City. He now pastors Saint Peter's Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Sherrill has taught doctoral courses on preaching and the enneagram at Fuller Theological Seminary. Rediscovering Christmas is his latest book. Visit him at ajsherrill.org, Instagram.com/aj_sherrill and X.com/ajsherrill.

Visit LifePoint Resources to learn more about our Advent and Christmas Soul Study. We will be reading and reflecting on AJ's book, Rediscovering Christmas.

Praise for Rediscovering Christmas

“Rediscovering Christmas draws us into the mystery and messiness of the birth of Jesus Christ in our broken world. Skillfully weaving together his faithful excavations into the biblical text, deep digging into the customs of first-century Judaism, and keen sensitivity to the challenges Christ-followers face today, AJ invites us to place one foot in the ancient Christmas story and our other foot in our own everyday lives. Thus, he both helps us to attend faithfully to the timeless message of the Christmas drama and guides us into those practices that bring our lives more in tune with its central character.” (Trevor Hudson, minister in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa and author of In Search of God’s Will)
