Summary

THE DAILY ARTICLE FOR DECEMBER 28, 2020

While the authorities are focused today on the identity of the Christmas Day bomber in Nashville, I'm thinking of six police officers who risked their lives to clear the area before the bomb exploded. Today's podcast focuses on their sacrificial grace, then we explore reasons why the miracle of Christmas is just as relevant and transforming today as when Jesus first entered our world.
