Where was Jesus born?

from Curiously Kaitlyn

What if there was no angry innkeeper in the nativity story? Despite what Christmas pageants might suggest, Jesus was likely not born in a stable, and Mary and Joseph were probably not rejected by an innkeeper. Kaitlyn takes a closer look at Luke's nativity account, exploring what Scripture actually says about mangers, guest rooms, animals, and family—and why those details matter. What may seem like a small detail about Jesus' birth location reveals something much bigger about power, empire, and the surprising way God enters the world through humility, vulnerability, and nearness.   0:00 - Theme Song   2:01 - Was Jesus Born in a Barn?   6:03 - No Guest Room Translation   13:45 - Sponsor - World Relief - Giving will be tripled up to $415,000 til December 31!
