Lecrae says the best way to stay centered at Christmas is to remember the bigger story behind it. Each year, he walks his family through Advent by starting all the way back in Genesis. God created a beautiful world, it was broken, and people longed for the One who would restore it. That is why Christmas matters. It marks the beginning of God’s restoration through Jesus. Hear Lecrae share how remembering that story shapes the way his family celebrates on Making Your Life Count.
