Summary

Feeling forgotten, overlooked, or like you don’t belong this Christmas? In this powerful message, Brian Tome delivers hope for outsiders and misfits—drawing surprising truth from the holiday classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

If the holidays leave you feeling unseen, disconnected, or out of place, this message will remind you that God specializes in using the unlikely.
