Christmas Eve: The Savior Who Came for the Broken

In this heartfelt Christmas Eve episode, Shannon Stewart and her husband, Pastor Mike Lee, share childhood Christmas memories, simple joys, and the powerful truth behind the holiday: Jesus didn’t come because the world was worthy — He came because the world was desperate for a Savior.

Mike explains why humanity needed saving, the evidence for Jesus’ resurrection, and how anyone can receive Him today. Shannon opens up about a time when she thought she had “ruined everything,” and how the same Jesus born in the manger became the Redeemer of her story.

This short, meaningful Christmas conversation is warm, nostalgic, and deeply hope-filled. It invites every listener — whether joyful, weary, lonely, or searching — to remember that Emmanuel means God with us, even now.

Merry Christmas!!!
