Summary

Even at Christmas time, a just man (or woman) sticks out. In the 2nd of a limited run of four episodes designed to get your mind and muscles ready for the holiday, Brian focuses his attention on Joseph. While the Bible doesn’t say much about Jesus’ adopted father, what it does say speaks volumes. Following in his footsteps is an aggressive move that will pay dividends.
