ADVENT DAY 16: When God Came Low
What if the most audacious claim of Christmas isn’t the angels or the star—but the humility that God exhibits when taking on flesh?
In this reflective solo Advent episode of Church Potluck, Dale explores the astonishing pattern that runs from the manger to the cross: God choosing vulnerability over power. From shepherds as first witnesses, to refugees fleeing violence, to a Messiah who refuses wealth, status, and control, the nativity tells a story that challenges how we think about greatness, faith, and success. This episode invites listeners—believers, skeptics, and seekers alike—to look honestly at where we grasp for power in our own lives and to consider what it might mean to truly prepare the way of the Lord through humility.
