Sometimes we just need to stop and breathe. I mean breathe. We need to stop and breathe in the

beauty and the meaning and the radical impact of Christmas because it really is the most

wonderful time of the year. So today on the 413 podcast we're going to party.

And we've got some friends who are going to party with us.

Best-selling author, Karen Kingsbury,

will read one of her most beloved books to us,

and sing our songwriterwriter Michael O'Brien will sing some

beautiful Christmas songs and me Casey we're going to be talking all things

Christmas and you don't want to miss his imitation of the Grinch. So pour your

wassel, grab your wrapping paper and let's get those presents wrapped while you

hang out with us and celebrate.

I am so glad you're here for some Christmas cheer.

And by the way, this is good for every single day of the year.

So let's get the party started.

Welcome to the 413 podcast where practical encouragement and

biblical wisdom set you up my friend to live the I can line because

you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Now welcome your host, a woman who saves every gift bag she

ever receives so she can put your gift in it next year. Welcome the Recycle Queen Jennifer Ruff Child.

Yeah, it is so true.

Hey there, welcome to Christmas cheer.

It's better now that you're here and believe me this is going to be good this podcast for every single day of the year

So if you are not listening to this in the month of December or at Christmas that is okay I promise you because the joy of Jesus and the reality of what he does in our lives is going to make your day better today.
