In the final week of Advent, Jason and Rachel reflect on Love — the love that sent Christ as a vulnerable child, walks with us through shadowy valleys, and calls us to love others well. This is the love at the heart of Christmas — not romance, nostalgia, or sentimentality, but the self-giving love that moved God to send His Son into the world.This conversation explores:❤️ Why Jesus came not as a conquering king, but as a fragile child❤️ What Mary’s “yes” teaches us about obedience, trust, and surrender❤️ How love is present both on the mountaintops and in the valleys of life❤️ Why Christmas love is meant to carry us beyond the season and into everyday livingThey discuss Christmas stories, books, and traditions that help us retell the Nativity in fresh ways—while also wrestling honestly with the limits of fictionalized retellings and the importance of returning to Scripture as our foundation.The episode also acknowledges a difficult truth: Christmas can be joyful and painful at the same time. For some, it’s a season of connection and warmth; for others, it highlights loss, loneliness, or unmet longing. Yet even there, God’s love remains present, walking with us through every valley.Ultimately, this episode points to the core message of Advent:We love because He first loved us.As the candle of Love is lit, we’re reminded that the greatest gift of Christmas is not found under the tree, but in a relationship with the God who chose to dwell with us.Hope. Peace. Joy. Love.Thank you for joining us for this Advent series.Faith, family, books, and films — this is Weatherford Daze.
