3. Powerful Lessons from the Christmas Story: LDS Come Follow Me Jan 9-15

January 9–15. Matthew 2; Luke 2: We Have Come to Worship Him

What more could we have to talk about relating to the Christmas Story in Luke 2? In my opinion, we don't talk about the nativity enough! Once a year isn't enough to talk about the birth of Jesus because there are so many beautiful lessons. In this episode we'll explore the meaning of "good tidings", meet Anna the Prophetess, talk about a new take on Jesus being left at the temple, and investigate lessons from the wisemen. I would love to know your thoughts in the comments or on Instagram!
