What's the story with Joseph? In this unscripted episode, I talk a little bit about Joseph and his role in the Christmas story. Although he says nothing, his actions speak volumes. The book I reference is called: The Forgotten Man of Christmas: Joseph's Story by Howard Edington. So while we talk about all the other parts of the Christmas story, don't forget about this extraordinary man.

Thank you for listening to the second Christmas episode of the Bible Backdrop Podcast! In this episode, I dive into a history on Herod and his role in the Christmas story. Then, I talk about the flight to Egypt of Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Why go there? This episode will help answer that question. Afterwards, I give a glimpse into some subjects that I'll tackle in the future. If you are enjoying this podcast, please help by giving a 5-star rating and review.

We all know the basics of the Christmas story...but do we know some of the details behind it? In this episode of Bible Backdrop, I take a look at why Bethlehem is so important to the Christmas story followed by a similar discussion of the Magi.
