Summary

What does it mean to be a real man of Christmas in a culture obsessed with comfort and convenience? In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby and Pastor Britt look at Joseph as one of the “Real Men of Christmas” in our Stand Firm and Act Like Men year. They unpack Jewish betrothal, Joseph’s costly obedience when he discovers Mary is pregnant, and how he reordered his entire life around Jesus at the center.
