Christmas and Consciousness: An Advent-to-Epiphany Devotional Starting Soon

The world is in a precarious place, and the message of Christmas is more urgent than ever: God does not dwell up in the sky, but among the least of us. Encountering the incarnation of God in Christ requires a mental reset, a different kind of consciousness.

For the next five weeks, I’ll be sending out a short daily devotional informed by my work as a pastor, theologian, organizer, and psychedelic-assisted therapist. I’ll be delving into scripture, theology, and recent research into neuroscience. If that sounds like your jam, feel free to sign up!

If you’d like to follow along, you can sign up for email devotionals or visit my website here.

Prayer: God, you have taken us on a wild journey. Give us assurance, patience, resolve, strength, and peace for the days ahead. Amen.

—Rev. Dr. David Barnhart, Jr.
