The Christmas Quiz

Share a comment

How much do you really know about the story of Jesus' birth? The Christmas story, as we often hear it, has been cleaned up and polished to the point where it’s easy to forget the real struggles and sacrifices involved. In today's episode, Stephen Davey challenges your understanding with a Christmas quiz—revealing some common misconceptions and sharing the deeper truths of the nativity. Did Mary ride to Bethlehem on a donkey? Was there really an innkeeper who turned the Holy Family away? How many angels spoke to the shepherds, and what kind of visitors did Jesus really receive in those early days?

Stephen takes you on a journey through the untold realities of the nativity—a story filled with struggle, sacrifice, and the astonishing humility of God becoming man. He dives into the gritty and unfiltered version of that first Christmas, offering insights into the real conditions surrounding Jesus' birth. You’ll gain a fresh perspective on the incarnation of Christ, see how tradition often glosses over the hardships faced by Mary and Joseph, and understand the true significance of each part of the story. This episode will deepen your appreciation for the humility and sacrifice that marked the birth of our Savior—and may challenge some of your most cherished Christmas traditions. Tune in and take the Christmas quiz!
