Behind Our Smiles Marriage Podcast
To quote C.S. Lewis, “The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man.” At the heart of the Christmas story is the “word becoming flesh” and without that first miracle, the rest of the story doesn’t matter! In this week’s episode we talk about the significance of that primary miracle and our place in that story. To connect with us on social media: Email:
info_outlineDo you ever feel like you deserve more than you’re currently getting in your marriage?
