Merry Christmas! A question to consider in light of Joseph’s example is this: am I taking time to actually pause and consider things in the presence of God? Emma Dotter is joined by Watermark’s Men’s Community Director, Jacob Alger. Jacob challenges us to think about the gravity of this passage! Jesus is simultaneously being held by his earthly mother Mary and holding the universe! How beautiful is the perfect story of Christmas! 
 
 Additional Scripture in the Podcast:
 Colossians 1:16-17, “For by him all things were created…”
