The Sign God Gave Us | Isaiah 7:14 with Kate Westwood

“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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
