When we were kids, there was something we believed that wasn't real. But if we tell people that it's not okay to believe in Santa, but then we attach ourselves to fantasy things, even though we know it's not real, but we still attach to it, you know it's just like.
What does Christmas really mean to you? In this heartfelt episode of 'Soldiers of Christ', John Zinsmeister takes a deep dive into the true essence of the Christmas season. This isn't just another holiday special; it's a candid conversation that touches on real-life struggles like addiction, self-doubt, and brokenness, all through the lens of faith. John doesn't shy away from the hot-button issue of whether Christians should let their children believe in Santa Claus.
Sharing his own childhood experiences, he argues that believing in Santa doesn't have to conflict with a strong faith in God. Instead, he suggests that kids can enjoy the magic of Santa while also understanding the deeper meaning of Christmas. The episode also tackles the concept of final judgment, reminding listeners that their relationship with God is deeply personal and known only to themselves and the divine.
John emphasizes that despite life's challenges and the devil's temptations, we can find strength in the Lord, who calls us His children. So, if you're grappling with the complexities of faith during the festive season or simply looking for a more meaningful way to celebrate, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective.
Join John as he explores how to find joy and purpose beyond the material aspects of Christmas, focusing instead on the birth of Jesus and the light it brings into our lives.
