About this listen

In a season filled with noise, deadlines, and nonstop activity, Pastor Woody Morwood invites us to rediscover the heart of Christmas. Through a simple yet powerful fable about a man trying to guide birds to safety in a storm, he reveals why Jesus came close—why God stepped into our world, our struggles, and our humanity.

Drawing from John 1:1–14, Pastor Woody explores the radical truth that the eternal Creator became human so we could understand His love. He also challenges us to consider how many people in Jesus’ day missed His arrival—and how easily we can do the same amid the pressures and pace of modern life.

With the symbols of the Star, the Crown, and the Manger, this message reframes Christmas as God offering the greatest gift imaginable: Himself.
If you are longing for hope, peace, clarity, or simply a moment to breathe during this season, this message will help you slow down, pay attention, and make room for the love God offers.
