The historical story of Christmas is likely one of the most important stories ever told. It’s one of the most beautiful examples of God’s sovereignty as every detail prophesied thousands of years earlier came true in the little story we tend to revisit during this time of year. However, it’s easy to take this story for granted and to not stop and meditate on the significance of the events of Christmas.

Additionally, many of the aspects we know and love about Christmas may not actually be as biblically accurate as you may have thought. As tends to happen with many things in society, this holiday has morphed into something that isn’t always an accurate reflection of what we as followers of Christ are celebrating. Did Mary and Joseph really ride a donkey to Bethlehem? Were Mary and Joseph turned away from the inn? What prompted the wisemen’s appearance"?

All these topics and more are talked about on this podcast episode!

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, this episode will be an eyeopening one for you as you consider and appreciate the details of Christ’s birth.

The Bible calls older women to represent Christ well through the way they conduct themselves. They are to teach younger women how to live godly lives and how to be godly wives and mothers. It can be scary to ask someone to be a mentor to you or to be vulnerable with another person, but the reality is that the Bible calls young women to learn from older women. Older Women need to live godly lives so that they are qualified to teach young women. And it can be intimidating to teach young women because of the fear of saying something wrong or the insecurity that there is someone more godly than you. But still, God calls you, if you have the character of Christ, to teach young women. Sarah and Sheryl share their experiences in their relationship of being an older woman and younger woman. They share the importance of having this relationship and practical advice on how to seek someone to mentor or someone to be mentored by. Whether you are young or old this episode will be encouraging to you!

Titus 2:3-5 NASB

Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

We will all experience challenges that can either bring us closer to the Lord and shape our testimony of joy, or it can drive us away from the Lord. Rhonda has experienced many challenges in her life, some being diabetes since age 11, paralysis in her 20’s, and the loss of her eyesight 7 years ago. None of these things made her angry or bitter at God. In this episode, Rhonda shares encouragement for the person struggling to have joy and how she has a deep rooted trust and joy in Christ that lasts beyond circumstances.

James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
