In this episode of our Christian podcast, we continue our Advent-style Bible study on Isaiah 9:6 and explore the powerful names given to Jesus: Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.**

We talk about what it means for Christ to be our **Wonderful Counsellor**—the perfect source of wisdom, guidance, and comfort for everyday Christian living. We reflect on **Mighty God**, the Almighty Creator through whom and for whom all things were made, and how recognising Jesus as God strengthens our faith and dependence on Him.

We dig into **Everlasting Father**, uncovering the peace, identity, and security that comes from being loved and protected by a Father forever. And we meditate on **Prince of Peace**, exploring how Jesus offers more than the absence of conflict—He gives us supernatural peace in trials, storms, anxiety, and uncertainty.

As wars, fear, and instability continue around the world, we cling to the promise that Christ will never leave or forsake His people—and that He will ultimately bring an end to all conflict and judge with righteousness.

If you’re looking for **Christian encouragement, Christmas reflections, biblical teaching, and practical reminders of who Jesus is**, this episode will strengthen your hope and renew your worship. Join us as we celebrate the identity of Jesus foretold centuries before His birth—and draw comfort from every name

In this episode, we begin the first of a two-part series exploring one of the most well-known and deeply cherished passages often quoted during the Christmas season and featured in nativity plays around the world—**Isaiah 9:6**.We take time to slow down and sit with the richness of the first half of this verse, reflecting on the powerful imagery embedded in its words. We consider the tenderness and vulnerability wrapped up in the word **“child”**, the promise of inheritance, authority, and divine identity carried in the word **“son”**, and the overwhelming generosity of God expressed in the word **“given.”**As we unpack these layers, we also look at what it means that *the government will be upon His shoulders.* Far from being a distant theological idea, this truth offers deep comfort for us today. Knowing that Christ holds ultimate authority enables us to lift up leaders, nations, and governments—both globally and in our own communities—trusting that He reigns above all earthly power.Join us as we explore the hope, reassurance, and steady peace found in this prophetic declaration, and discover how the first part of this beloved verse can shape our understanding of Christ, especially in turbulent times.

In this episode, we turn our hearts toward the powerful and often life-changing discipline of thanksgiving. As the Christmas season approaches and the year begins to draw to a close, we take intentional time to reflect on what it truly means to live with a grateful heart—not just in moments of abundance, but in every season of life. Together, we explore the spiritual, emotional, and relational benefits of thanksgiving, and how gratitude has the power to transform our perspective, deepen our faith, and strengthen our relationships with others.We discuss how thanksgiving shifts our focus from what we lack to what we already have, helping us to recognize God’s faithfulness in both the big victories and the quiet, everyday moments. We reflect on how gratitude softens our hearts, nurtures humility, encourages contentment, and brings healing to strained relationships as we learn to appreciate people more fully and extend grace more freely.Most importantly, we center our thanksgiving on Christ Jesus—remembering all that we have received through Him: salvation, forgiveness, new life, hope, and eternal promises. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior at Christmas, we pause to share personal moments of gratitude and to acknowledge the greatest gift of all—Jesus Himself.This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and cultivate a lifestyle of thanksgiving that extends beyond a single season. Whether you are walking through a time of joy or carrying heavy burdens, this conversation will encourage you to lift your eyes, give thanks in all circumstances, and discover the peace and joy that flow from a truly grateful heart.
