Chris Explores the Gospels

Ep 5: Matthew— Flight, Sorrow, and Return


Listen Later

In this episode, we enter one of the most dramatic and tender moments of Jesus’ early life: the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt and their unexpected return to Nazareth (Matthew 2:13–23).

Through historical insight, sensory storytelling, and prayerful reflection, we explore how God guides Joseph, Mary, and Jesus through fear, exile, danger, and the quiet rebuilding that follows. We also confront the heartbreaking reality of the massacre of the Holy Innocents and the deep grief that shaped Bethlehem.

This episode reveals a God who is present not only in the places we choose, but in the unfamiliar places we never expected to go — the Egypts and Nazareths of our own lives.

Join me as we discover how God’s quiet, steady presence leads us through uncertainty and into unexpected peace.
