21 Dec 371: A Surprising Gift For Everyone! (A different look at the Christmas Story.)
We’re doing a DEEP DIVE on the Christmas story. More specifically… we’re talking about a vantage point on a story that may feel “familiar,” BUT still can have some surprises to it!
Specifically, we’re going to take a deeper look at the story tucked in Matthew 1 and 2 of the New Testament.
Spoiler Alert: I uncovered some eye-opening elements of the story I’d never seen or thought about before! And wow… were they ever good surprises! Whether you’re a big fan of reading the Bible or not… this episode has something for you.
At the VERY least… you’ll hear some things you can use to impress your friends at Christmas parties! But… if you listen in and stay open… I think you might really appreciate unwrapping these surprise gifts as much as I did!
So let’s get to this!
