The journey of the Wisemen wasn’t just a story—it’s a challenge. Why did they travel so far while others closer to Jesus missed Him completely? In this episode, we unpack the lessons of Christmas through the eyes of the Wisemen, Mary, and Joseph. From the parenting fail of losing Jesus to asking where our own “star” is today, we’ll dive deep into the modern-day struggle of finding Jesus in a world full of distractions.

Plus, we’ll tackle the big question: What if you feel like you have nothing to bring to God? Don’t stay home—join us for this episode and finish the year strong chasing after Him.
