how to find salvation – Jesus @ 2 am blogs and podcast

Do Christians really believe that Jesus was fully divine? And fully human? Simultaneously? It’s no easy pill to swallow, virgin births and all that… And why does it matter?

In this episode, my friend and mentor, Mark Roberts, takes on these questions and many others as he explores Christian doctrine of the incarnation. It is a fun, funny and deeply insightful look at the celebration of Christmas and why we all have reason to rejoice!

(In the intro I mentioned the Max De Pree Center for Leadership. Definitely worth checking out!)

In this episode we examine the personal search for peace and rest, and how we take that gift of shalom and offer it to others.
