Taking Christ out of Christmas. It’s Christmas time here at Voxology. Today, we’re joined by our good friend and Pastor, Bethany Nass Cseh, to talk about the day we set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus. How did Christmas become the celebration it is today? What were the circumstances around the Christ’s actual birth? What beef do we all have with Christmas traditions? What would Jesus want from a celebration of His birth?
We spend a lot of time talking about Mary. The scandal of her pregnancy. Her Magnificat in Luke. The role of a Mother to a savior ad His need for her. Some of the beauty that is lost in the blood and flesh of the incarnation.
First, we discuss a Tweet proclaiming that the reason men don’t attend Church is because it’s too effeminate :/
Bethany’s books can be found here: Stepping Into Advent & Stepping Into Lent.
As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue. Always feel free to email in questions to hello@voxpodcast.com, and to engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.
