He’s shifted me from the awkward homeschool kid who was embarrassed to say her name out loud to one who lives in another country to share God’s love. The shift has taken me through some unexpected chapters; traveling to 90 countries, walking through places of great joy and great grief; developing genuine friendships scattered throughout the world. My constant clarity is this: I’d rather have my heart stretched in knowing Jesus than feel safe and suburban anywhere else. That’s a story I love to tell, to many or to one.

How can we leverage this opportunity for the gospel? How can a preacher, who has perhaps preached dozens of Christmas messages over the years, keep it “fresh” now?  These and other questions are discussed in this special episode of the Expositors Collective podcast featuring Pastor Wayne Taylor and Pastor Richard Cimino, of Seattle and Sacramento, respectively.  To get a copy of Wayne’s book “Tidings of Great Joy” email him at pastorwt@msn.com  We hope that you enjoy this special Friday edition of the Expositors Collective podcast - and pray that it helps you prepare for the Christmas and Advent season!
