This isn't just a devotional to read — it's a journey to take. Walking with Mary is a four-week Advent journal that invites individuals, families, and congregations to travel alongside Mary from the angel's surprising announcement in Nazareth all the way to the manger in Bethlehem.

Each week combines Scripture reading, guided reflection questions, creative activities, and space to journal — woven together into a rich, unhurried Advent practice that is as meaningful for a solo reader as it is for a family gathered around the table.

And if you want to take the journey literally: the devotional includes a walking challenge. Nazareth to Bethlehem is about 90 miles. At roughly 3.5 miles a day, you can walk the whole distance before Christmas Eve — on your own, as a family, or together as a congregation.

What's included:

• 4 weeks of devotional content tied to the Walking with Mary sermon series
• Scripture readings from Luke with reflection questions for each week
• Creative and embodied activities for all ages (journaling, crafting, walking, poetry writing)
• Weekly mileage tracking for the optional walking challenge
• Journal space throughout for personal reflection
• A closing section to capture memories from the season

The journey week by week:

• Week 1 — Starting Out (Luke 1:26–38): Saying yes to an unexpected invitation
• Week 2 — Hill Country (Luke 1:39–45): Finding joy and refuge in community
• Week 3 — God's Plan (Luke 1:46–56): Dreaming with the Magnificat
• Week 4 — Bethlehem (Luke 2:1–5): Persevering through the final stretch

Whether printed at home, used digitally, or prepared as a congregation-wide resource, this journal makes space for Advent to be something you do, not just something that happens to you.
