Advent Special: Encounter with a Shepherd

Is it truly "the most wonderful time of the year"? While Christmas can be a happy season, it can also be a heavy season. The grief is real.  But let me ask you something: Do you believe there is a joy that can meet you where you are, despite the grief and pain? I believe it can, but it's gotta be real and powerful. And what is powerful enough to source that kind of joy? Is it possible that the answer lies within the Christmas story itself? Find out with me as we explore this powerful topic.   Music Credit: Intro music for this podcast was mixed by the lovely STELLA!  My Reading: "Encounter with a Shepherd" by Elizabeth Hayashi Scripture Reference: Luke 2:8-20
