  • REWIND: Redefining Christmas - Part 2
    Dec 21 2024

    This is a REWIND episode of Witness & Persecution from a past episode titled "Redefining Christmas". This is part two of two! If you haven't listened to the first part, we highly recommend listening to that first. You can find that on podcast platforms and our website!


    We know we've been a bit MIA but for good reason! There's a lot of amazing, game changing things coming out from NRM and we can't wait to share. Follow us on socials to stay tuned!

    As Nik continues this series on rediscovering the Biblical account of the Christmas narrative, he challenges listeners to ask "Imagine you were a parent, or Jesus, in this story". Understanding the context of Christmas allows us to discover how we apply the birth of Jesus to our lives and theology. Learn more about Nik Ripken Ministries at: https://www.nikripken.com/

    -----------------------

    Did you know that the wise men of the Bible were ultimately unwise men? Their story isn’t a children’s story set in an elaborate Christmas pageant. It’s a story of persecution when Jesus was just a toddler. It’s a story filled with drama and the genocidal slaughter of children. Christians living in the west are stuck with a faith narrative in our heads that is dominated by the culture in which we live. Nik begins a multi-part series to learn how believers in persecution get the Christmas story right. Learn more about Nik Ripken Ministries at: https://www.nikripken.com/

Inspiring

God is glorified by Nik and Ruth and the ministry He has given to them. It has been inspiring for myself and my family to hear the stories they tell and the encouragement they give to go, even just across the street, to reach and serve God's children.
