About this listen

As Advent draws to a close and we approach the Sunday of Joy, this episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s explores a surprising path to joy through Joseph’s often-overlooked annunciation in Matthew 1. St. Luke’s pastors Jenn, Jad, and Melissa reflect on how Joseph, a righteous man shaped by duty, expectation, and responsibility, is invited to loosen his grip, trust God’s work, and say yes to a story that disrupts all his plans. In a season when many feel overwhelmed by obligations and the pressure for everything to be “just right,” this conversation asks how we might move from fear to faith, from box-checking to presence, and from anticipation to participation. The episode invites listeners to release perfection, embrace the unexpected, and discover that true joy is found in naming Jesus in the midst of a real, messy life—Emmanuel, God with us.
