Light Has Dawned

JOYFUL JOURNEY PODCAST
About this episode

In this week's special episode, Janet and Jocelyn discuss the hope of Christmas. They remind listeners of God's redemptive plan, which He fulfilled through the Christmas story.

The light of the Christmas story is not merely an addition to an already-illuminated world, but rather the sole hope and radiant light that illuminates the path to a relationship with the Holy One, the Prince of Peace, the true Light of the World.
