"Jesus wasn't born on December 25th!" Are you mad? Faith shattered? Christmas ruined? May it never be!
With the actual birth date of Jesus a mystery, why did Christians gravitate toward December 25th? Did we rob and reface a Roman holiday? Are we coopting the winter solstice? Is it just a borrowed holiday from some other pagan religion? And what about... the tree? Are the critics right? And does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? What are we actually celebrating as Christians at Christmas?
Tune in to today's episode as we dig into the reason for the season—and maybe embolden your faith for the holidays.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
