Summary
In this Christmas Special, I want to invite you to slow down and listen with your kids. Gather them close—on the couch, in the car, or wherever you are—and take a moment to remember why we celebrate Christmas at all. Today, I’m sharing the story of Jesus’ birth and reminding families that God kept His promise by sending a Rescuing King. Jesus didn’t just come as a baby—He came to defeat sin, bring hope, and offer salvation to all of us. This is a meaningful episode to enjoy together as a family on Christmas Day.

I know I've raised seven children and we had a lot and lots and lots of really loud and |
| 1:44.7 | wonderful Christmas mornings. It can also feel really busy and overstimulating. Sometimes it |
| 1:49.5 | feels heavy. For many families, this season comes with joy and weariness because of the financial |
