Unplugged Advent: What Are We Waiting For? with RL Kentopp and Featuring Michael Gungor

Grammy-nominated songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Michael Gungor joins us for the season. He has spent nearly two decades pioneering new terrain in spiritual and artistic expression. His upcoming releases—including Magnificat, a deeply textured and soulful album reimagining what sacred music can be—continue this evolution. He also leads Mystic Hymnal Nights and songwriting retreats, cultivating sacred spaces for collective singing and inner transformation.Michael Gungor is a genre-defying artist, composer, and spiritual thinker known for blending sacred and experimental sounds into transformative communal experiences. As the creative force behind projects like Gungor, Mystic Hymnal, and The Liturgists Podcast, Michael’s work invites audiences into wonder, presence, and reconnection with the divine.
Waiting will be an evening of storytelling, reflection, and music centered on the theme of Advent, the season of anticipation, longing, and hope. As we each wait for something new, this event invites us to enter that shared experience through songs and stories from Gungor and local musician RL Kentopp (Richard). What are We Waiting for will introduce the concept of waiting, and then throughout the night come to the realization that we don’t need to wait any longer to bring the divine to the world.
The night will blend artistry and worship, offering a mix of introspective and full-band moments that explore the beauty and tension of waiting for what’s next.
