Was Jesus really born on December 25th? What’s the controversy surrounding Luke’s historical accuracy? And what does God’s sovereignty actually mean in our everyday lives? From theological questions about free will and prophecy to the humility of Christ’s birth in a manger, this conversation explores how the “Christmas story” is far more than a seasonal tradition—it’s a personal invitation. We talk about faith and intellect, cultural Christianity, the upside-down kingdom of Jesus, and what it means that the Savior was born “unto us.” If you’ve ever wrestled with doubts, church myths, or how to balance influence and humility in today’s world, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
