What does Hannukah have to do with the country music singer Chris Stapleton?

Well, not a whole lot. But there is a surprising link between one of his songs and this ancient story that took place in Israel over two thousand years ago.

Chris Stapleton’s 2020 hit song, “Starting Over" is exactly what the Jewish people had to do in the Hanukkah story.

Starting over is typically not easy, but as Chris Stapleton sings, “The hard roads are the ones worth choosing.”

In this episode of the Game Changers Forum, we’ll look at how the Jewish people started over in the Hannukah story. And I’ll share three ways their approach can inspire us when we have to rebuild and start afresh today.
