Episode 311
Overcome Fear and Find Hope This Christmas
This Christmas season, many of us are carrying more than gifts and traditions. We’re carrying fear, weariness, uncertainty, and unanswered questions. We sing the familiar words, “the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight,” but what do they really mean when the world feels anything but peaceful?
In this special Christmas reflection, Jonathan Youssef explores the meaning behind this beloved hymn lyric and the birth of Jesus, the Light of the World who meets us in our deepest hopes and fears.
Join Jonathan to reflect on:
- Why true peace and security are found in Christ alone
- How Jesus’ grace transforms fear into lasting hope
- What our response to Christ means for our lives today
If you’re searching for hope at Christmas, longing for peace in uncertain times, or wondering where God is in the midst of fear, this episode offers a gentle, gospel-centered reminder: Christ has come and He is enough.
