But it is a story we often miss because people’s Christmas focus is mostly around a young mother Mary and her son, Jesus. People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Sep 23, 2025

There are moments in the Christian life when we stop listening to God and start listening to ourselves. Sometimes that inner voice is not a voice of faith but of fear. We call it “being realistic” or “practical,” but often it’s just fear baptizing itself as wisdom.
