Birth stories are often filled with mixed emotions—amazing, funny, suspenseful, and sometimes even tragic. Whether we've witnessed a birth or heard the stories, they all impact us. In our Christmas series, Birth Stories, we'll explore how the births we experience today connect with the birth of Jesus in the Gospels, celebrating the joy and hope that came with His arrival. This week, Matt Johnston shared Brooke and his birth story of their daughter, Ruth, and through it, he reflects on the truth that God is WITH us, Emmanuel.
