In this Christmas Day special, New York Times bestselling author and former investigative journalist, Lee Strobel, uncovers the historical, scientific, and theological evidence behind the birth of Jesus. This is a rich, thoughtful conversation that strengthens both heart and mind during the Christmas season. Lee walks listeners through the credibility of the Gospel accounts, the prophecies fulfilled in Christ’s birth, and the evidence that the manger scene is not myth but history. He explores the incarnation, the reliability of eyewitness testimony, and why the identity of the Child in the manger changes everything about our hope, our faith, and our future.
