Luke 2: 2-20

2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to their own town to register.

4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14“Glory to God in the highest heaven,

and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

In this episode, we look at a fascinating scientific discovery: the “zinc spark”—a burst of light seen under the microscope at the moment a human egg is activated and a new life begins. We walk through what researchers have found about this spark, how it marks the beginning of embryonic development, and why it beautifully illustrates the God who first said, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3).

From there, we open Scripture and trace the theme of light: God as light, Christ as the Light of the world, and believers called out of darkness into His marvelous light. We talk about what this means for the sanctity of life from conception, and how even the smallest details of biology reflect God’s order, care, and creativity.

I also tie this into my everyday work in public safety technology—helping agencies with emergency vehicle lighting, scene lighting, and handheld lighting for first responders. Just as physical light helps save lives in dark and chaotic emergencies, the Light of Christ shines into spiritual darkness to rescue souls. This episode is an invitation to see creation, science, your job, and your daily life as part of a larger story: the God who is still shining light into darkness—physically, morally, and spiritually.

“Most of us spend our days trying to stay in control — at work, at home, and even in our walk with God. But what if the greatest victories in life don’t come from holding on… but from letting go? Today we’re talking about surrender — not weakness, but the strength that comes when we trust God fully, even in our careers, our decisions, and our daily struggles
