The Merge — “After the Angels Leave”
What happens after Christmas ends?
When the songs fade, the decorations come down, and life gets real?
In this episode of The Merge, we reflect on Matthew 2:13–23, where the Christmas story takes an unexpected turn, from angels and manger scenes to danger, displacement, and faithful obedience. Jesus becomes a refugee. Joseph responds not with certainty, but with trust. And God continues to work, not in comfort, but in the in-between places.
This episode is for anyone navigating uncertainty, transition, or the quiet stretch between celebration and resolution. It reminds us that God is just as present after the angels leave, and just as faithful on the road ahead.
What to Listen For:
Why faith often requires movement rather than stability
How God guides us one step at a time
Where God shows up in ordinary, unsettled seasons
Key Takeaway:
You don’t need the whole plan, just the next faithful step.
Closing Prayer:
Faithful God, as we step into ordinary days, give us courage to trust you one step at a time. Amen.
