The True Christmas Story | Jesus the Savior, Not Just a Baby

At Christmas, we often picture Jesus as a baby in a manger — but that’s not where the story ends.

In this special episode of Rise and Shine, Haylee reads through the full Christmas story, moving between the Gospels of Luke and Matthew, and reveals why Jesus’ birth was only the beginning of God’s redemptive plan.

We talk about the miracle of the virgin birth, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and how Jesus grew into the Savior of the world — performing miracles, living a perfect life, dying on the cross for our sins, and rising again in victory.

This episode also reminds us that Jesus is not just part of a Christmas tradition. He is alive today, still saving, still healing, and still performing miracles.

Whether you’re listening during the Christmas season or any time of year, this episode points us back to the heart of the gospel.
