Merry Christmas! Welcome to a fun, holiday-themed bonus episode of "Back to Basics," a series where Pastor Don and Courtney Fraley are going to explore the Bible, one story at a time, starting at the beginning, and working our way forward until we either get bored or run out of Bible!
Today, in celebration of Christmas, we're going to jump a head and dig into Matthew 1:18-25; the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. Why is this childbirth story all about father figures? How do you kludge together a marriage when you have to contend with Jewish law, Roman law, and/or Egyptian law? And who is this mysterious "Oily Josh" person anyways? Check out today's extra-long Very Special Episode to find out about all that and more!
