To celebrate and better observe the season of Advent, host James Howell reaches out to longtime friend and colleague Rev. Alisa Lasater Wailoo to discuss Mary, the Mother of Jesus. 

James and Alisa talk about the history of Mary, but also why she matters today - and in what ways. They engage her depictions throughout testaments to identify what makes her such a unique and significant character in our modern landscape, particularly around the holiday season.
