“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Emmanuel.” — Isaiah 7:14

Today, Ash and guest Kate Willcox unpack one of the most profound prophecies in Scripture — a promise that would be fulfilled hundreds of years later through Jesus. Together they explore why this verse isn’t just a Christmas line… but a reminder of God’s intentionality, nearness, and miraculous power.

Together they dive into:

• How Isaiah’s prophecy cements the truth of who Jesus is — not just a good man, but God Himself
• Why fulfilled prophecy strengthens our faith and reveals God’s character
• The meaning of Emmanuel and what it really means that God chooses to be with us
• How God makes Himself easy to find — through creation, moments of kindness, answered prayers, and everyday miracles
• Why Jesus coming to earth shows the depth of the Father’s love and His desire to be close to us
• How Christmas calls us to slow down, look for God, and ask, “Lord, would You show me who You are?”
• The invitation to rediscover the wonder of the Christmas story — not sentimentality, but revelation
• Why Jesus’ birth is the beginning of the rescue story that leads all the way to the cross

This conversation is rich, hope-filled, and grounding. If you’re craving clarity, connection with God, or a renewed sense of awe this Christmas season, this episode will help you look again — and see that God has always been drawing near.

May this prompt you to recognise His signs, celebrate His faithfulness, and rest in the truth that He is Emmanuel — God with us.
