When Craig’s eight-year-old daughter walks into the living room, takes one look at the Christmas tree, and declares, “It’s not Christmas,” he realizes she’s not talking about presents or decorations. She’s talking about the missing star— and the missing hope so many of us feel this time of year. In this episode of One Minute Later, Craig explores why the biblical Christmas story didn’t arrive in a peaceful world, and why that matters now more than ever. From cultural tension and broken relationships to division inside the church, he shares how the original Star of Bethlehem wasn’t meant to decorate anything…it was meant to defy the darkness.
