We trace Matthew 2 to show why the Magi found Jesus and Herod missed Him, then share simple ways to keep Christ at the center of a noisy Christmas. Along the way we use Home Alone as a playful parable to train our eyes for gospel echoes in ordinary life. • the Magi’s seeking hearts versus Herod’s self-focus • Scripture as the surest place to find Jesus • gold, frankincense and myrrh as foreshadowing • practical habits: pray, read, gather, aim your family • cultural echoes that point to the gospel • how to avoid missing the point of Christmas Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review Support the show Want to connect?
