On Christmas Eve, the gospel doesn’t begin in a sanctuary—it begins in a field. In this reflective Christmas Eve homily on Luke 2:8–20, we step into the long night with the shepherds and witness the moment heaven interrupts ordinary darkness. This episode invites listeners into the ancient story of the angels’ announcement and into the living tradition of a small-town candlelight service, where generations have gathered to hear again that the good news is for all people. A quiet, pastoral word of hope, comfort, and incarnation for anyone who needs light to break in where they are.
