Description

What if the hardest person in your family this Christmas is your opportunity to be a hero? In this second week of our Advent series "Go Tell It," we explore how Joseph's incredible response to Mary reveals the supernatural power available to us for navigating the most complicated family dynamics.

Discover why Joseph—a righteous man who could have destroyed Mary under Jewish law—instead chose to protect her at great personal cost. Learn how God handpicked this carpenter from Nazareth to be the earthly father of His Son, and what that choice teaches us about mercy, grace, and family leadership today.

In This Episode:

• Joseph's impossible situation and his righteous response (Matthew 1:18-25)
• Why God's presence in you isn't meant to be entirely private
• How Christ transforms marriages when both partners are surrendered to Him
• The greatest contribution you'll ever make: who you raise
• Navigating difficult family gatherings with supernatural love
• Practical tips for spiritual conversations with family members

Key Scriptures:

• Matthew 1:18-25
• Luke 2:8-20
• Deuteronomy 22:23-24

Reflection Questions:

1. What would be different if we were as forgiving and sensitive to others as Joseph was to Mary?
2. How does Christ's presence in you shape the environment of your home?
3. Who in your extended family might benefit from your relationship with Christ this Christmas?
4. What does it mean to love someone with "supernatural ability"?

Next Steps:

→ Identify one difficult family relationship where you can be a "hero" this Christmas season 

→ Pray for supernatural love and grace in your upcoming family gatherings 

→ Consider having a spiritual conversation with a family member (remember: make it private, address any elephants in the room, speak graciously, pace yourself, never give up) 

→ Join us next week for week 3 of "Go Tell It"
