Episode 23: The Christmas Story - Her Yes Came With a Cost (Mary’s Perspective)

This week, we kick off our series on the Christmas story. We'll look at it from Mary's perspective. It's easy to hit the high points of what her story seems like from the outside--the angel's proclamation, becoming the mother of Jesus, and the visits from the shepherds/magi.  

But Mary's willingness to say yes came with a cost. Initially, Joseph wanted to send her away, and her neighbors probably talked about her. Then came the hardship of traveling to Bethlehem and giving birth in a stable. Often, our lives tell a similar story. God's call comes with (what feels like) a cost. And in those moments, it's easy to feel like there's something wrong with us. But there isn't. And if Mary could make it, so can we. Join me for the rest of the story.
