Truth Encounter: Journey to Christmas Podcast

9 episodes - English - Latest episode: 7 months ago -

It's the biggest birthday celebration in the world. Macys and Target make or break their entire year in the few weeks leading up to the Holiday and even Hollywood tries to cash in with some major releases. But Charlie Brown and the simple reading of the Scriptural narrative still captures our hearts. Who was this baby wrapped in swaddling clothes as the Father's gift? Where did He come from? How long has he lived? What makes him the most important baby ever born? Matthew and Luke tell us about the birth in Bethlehem. John's introduction to his Gospel takes us back to eternity where the story actually began.

Have you ever felt totally stressed, exhausted, at the end of your rope? Of course it's Christmas—the time that's supposed to be filled with cheer that often becomes filled with tears.
