This week’s episode dives into one of the most healing truths of Christmas: Jesus didn’t come for the polished, the powerful, or the perfect — He came for the broken.

When you look closely at the people God chose for the Christmas story, a pattern jumps out:
✨ Mary — young and unknown
✨ Joseph — confused and afraid
✨ Shepherds — outcasts
✨ Magi — outsiders
✨ Herod — a picture of the world’s darkness

Yet through all of this, God was showing us His heart: “I came for the unworthy, the unseen, the overwhelmed.”

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:
• Why God loves to use the overlooked and the ordinary
• How Joseph teaches us to trust God even when we don’t understand
• Why heaven’s announcement came to shepherds instead of kings
• How God draws near to outsiders and those who feel far away
• How even the darkness surrounding Jesus’ birth proves God’s plan is unstoppable
• Why Jesus came specifically for the broken, the hurting, and the ashamed
• How God replaces shame with honor and transforms our pain into purpose
• Why brokenness is often the very place God begins His deepest work

This episode will remind you of one powerful truth: Your flaws don’t disqualify you — they’re the very reason Jesus came.

If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unseen, or not “Christian enough,” this message is for you.

Christmas is God saying: “I choose the broken. I heal the hurting. I use the imperfect. And I am with you.”
