Christmas Traditions with David Paulison 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.

It is Christmas Week and has been a tradition that we've adopted here on the podcast.

We are talking about Christmas traditions with various individuals.

And this week, our guest on the podcast is Dr. David Palison. David is the

executive director of the Christian counseling and educational foundation. He is a member of the

Association of Certified Biblical Counselors. He has been a professor of biblical counseling,

the author of numerous books, and he is a friend of mine. David, we are...

It's like the book of Revelation. That's right. The best happens at the end. That's right. We are so

thankful that you're with us.

And as we are thinking about the Christmas season, as we're thinking about celebrating Christmas

this week with family and friends, we want to hear from you just about you and your life.

So you're a person who's influenced so many people.

Talk to us about your family, wife, kids.

Yes, Nan and I have been married for 40 years as of the summer of 2017. So we are in our 40th year.

Okay. So that is hard to believe. How did you guys meet?

We actually, the first time we talked, I don't remember.

She insists that it happened.

I have no memory because I was asleep.
