Oh my goodness. This is an episode filled with SO much greatness. We cover so much in 40 minutes from Christmas to living in a place of love, gratitude and grace to looking at the big picture of life instead of getting lost in the nuts and bolts and so much more. Phil talks about the birth of Jesus and includes a twist on the story that really blew my mind. 

 

My biggest takeaway:  "On basically the darkest day of the year we celebrate that the light came."
