Mary obviously gave birth to Jesus, but how important is she to the story? Is she sinless? The queen of heaven?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk about a variety of claims about Mary and dig into what Scripture says about each of them. We also look at the character of Mary and some things we could learn from her as we prepare for this Christmas season.
