Show Notes

9 December

This Wave of Hope Advent reflection comes from Dr Phil McCarthy, founder of the Hearts in Search of God walking pilgrimage project.

"The thing that gave me most hope was the 'Jubilee Pilgrimage of Hope'… 641 miles were walked and 21,257 feet climbed over 45 days along four 'Ways', by 20 perpetual pilgrims who walked the full distance, often sleeping in church halls, and by over 250 day pilgrims who joined us for one or more days."

Wave of Hope offers 25 short multimedia reflections for the season – one a day – as our contributors share a moment in 2025 that has led them to a place of hope.
