What's Firstborn Daily Devotional about?

Want to better ponder the mystery of the Christ child this Advent season? The Firstborn podcast is made up of short, story-driven conversations between Jesse and Leah Roberts (Poor Bishop Hooper), focusing on their parenting experience. Hopefully we can all walk in greater child-like faith this Christmas season, 'for the mighty founder was a child himself.' (Thanks Charles Dickens!)
