Sadly, in our broken world, many people experience trauma and aren't able to process it—and, in turn, they often hurt the people around them. In addition, every day our screens alone bring us to live feeds of events that can be too much for any human being to bear. What does scripture have to say about all of this? How does Jesus want to meet us in our trauma?

What if you could recapture the magic of the Christmas season? Could you rediscover a hope and joy that seem long lost? Could Christmas bring you back to something more meaningful?

In this special Christmas message with Mark Clark, we explore how the birth of Jesus Christ teaches us about the true source of joy and how we can strive to live a life full of joy as believers. We will look at the examples of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds in the Christmas story and how their actions and attitudes demonstrate a joy that transcends circumstances. We will also discuss the role of faith, hope, and love in cultivating joy in our own lives and how we can spread joy to those around us. Join us as we reflect on the beauty and significance of the Christmas season and learn how to live out the joy that it brings.
