Sound Words Podcast Mary and Zechariah: Two Responses to Christmas (Pastor Jesse Randolph)
In this Christmas episode, we look at two striking responses to God’s announcement in Luke 1—Mary’s humble faith and Zechariah’s hesitant doubt.
Drilling into their stories helps us see what a right response to Christmas really looks like. Pastor Jesse Randolph and Pastor Aaron Nicholson explore why even sincere believers can struggle to trust God, why Mary’s submission is so remarkable, how discipline differs from humble questioning, and why the birth of Christ is ultimately about God’s faithfulness—not seasonal sentimentality.
We also consider how these responses shape our evangelism as we proclaim the good news of Christ’s coming.
