The Christmas story is familiar, but its mission-shaped urgency is often forgotten. Jesus came to save sinners from every nation, and that global burden sits at the heart of Christian discipleship, yet many believers feel stuck between desire and inaction, unsure how to begin in the busy holiday season.
Jonathan is joined by David Platt to explore cultivating compassion for neighbors, embracing the nations God has brought near, and seeing Christmas as one of the most strategic evangelistic moments of the year. David shares from decades of pastoral leadership, global missions experience, and his new Christmas book on why Jesus came, offering clarity, courage, and simple next steps for everyday Christians who want their lives to count for the gospel all year round.
