Thursday, December 12th: On this episode of The Daily Grind, host John Spencer dives into the story behind the classic Christmas carol "Good King Wenceslaus." Written by John Mason Neale in 1853, the carol recounts the life of Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia, a historical figure known for his acts of compassion and faith amidst family betrayal and political strife. John explores Wenceslaus' journey as a young Christian leader who overcame opposition to embody the principles of generosity and servant leadership. Through historical context and reflections on the carol's timeless message, John draws parallels between the king’s selfless deeds and the call for modern Christians to follow Jesus' example in loving others through action. This episode challenges us to pause during the busy Christmas season, truly see the needs around us, and step into the footprints of Jesus, much like Wenceslaus’ page followed in his footsteps. Don’t miss this inspiring episode about living out faith with courage and kindness.
