About this listen

Ready to rethink Christmas beyond the soft glow of the nativity scene? We trace the raw edges of a story packed with impossibility: a miraculous conception that risks reputation, a fiancé crushed then redirected by an angelic dream, shepherds abandoning their only income to chase a sky split with glory, and magi crossing borders for years guided by a stubborn star. The familiar becomes startling again, and that shock opens a door to courage.

This conversation isn’t about nostalgia; it’s a call to live alert. Where might God be interrupting your ordinary with an extraordinary ask—reconciling a relationship, giving with sacrifice, pivoting a career, or trusting a nudge that won’t let go? We close with a simple charge for the season: marvel at the outrageous generosity of the Father and offer your own gift—reckless abandon to follow Jesus. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs courage today, subscribe for more devotionals, and leave a review so others can rediscover the wonder too.al to begin preparing you for Christmas.
