Christmas Traditions with Dr. Bruce Ware on this edition of Truth and Love.

I'm Heath Lambert and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that people face.

This is Christmas Week, and we wanted to do something a little different this week.

We actually wanted to begin a new tradition of our own,

and so I have invited Dr. Bruce Ware to be our guest on the podcast this week.

Dr. Ware is a professor of Christian

theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is a well-known author and speaker.

And Dr. Ware is one of the professors that I admired the most from my time at the Southern

Baptist Theological Seminary as a student there.

I've heard him speak often about his family and his home as his children grew up and as he

lives life together with his dear wife Jody. And I wanted to have him on the podcast to tell

you about some of his Christmas traditions and what happens in the Ware home. So Dr. Ware,

we're glad that you're here. And I would love it if you would talk with us a little bit about

your family, who's in your family and who they are and introduce us to who they are a bit.

I'd be happy to. Thank you for having me on your podcast, Heath. It's very kind. Well, I've been

marrying to Jody. We're coming up on our 37th anniversary

in a couple of weeks. And we have two grown daughters. Rachel is a student here at Southern

currently, single, and just a delight. Really a young woman who loves the Lord and has a love for life and a real heart for missions and

and for serving Christ. Our older daughter, Bethany, likewise is by God's grace, a very committed

Christian. She married a young man who has actually served here at Southern. Currently, he's on

the faculty at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
