Steve Marston returns from Thanksgiving with huge personal news: the Marston family is expecting their first grandchild in July! Joy is in the air… but the show also dives into the quieter side of the holidays. From the new “Find Jesus” nativity trend (the Christian answer to Elf on the Shelf) to a heartfelt conversation with Focus on the Family counselor Glenn Lutjens about grieving well when Christmas hurts. Plus the Christmas Mortgage Miracle is back, a new verse to hide in your heart (Romans 6:11), listener testimonies, and a few dad jokes for good measure. Celebration, comfort, and real hope – all in one episode.
