Summary
Psalms for Christmastime is a podcast mini-series from FamilyLife, hosted by Shelby Abbott with pastor and author Dane Ortlund.
What’s it mean that God is “with us”? Author Dane Ortlund digs into this truth about Jesus from Psalm 132, written a millennium before He arrived.
From now until the end of 2021, with your gift of any amount to FamilyLife, as our thanks we’ll send you a copy of Dane’s devotional book, In the Lord I Take Refuge: 150 Daily Devotions through the Psalms. And because of generous donors, any gift given before the end of the year will be doubled up to $1.5.
