Every time the Christmas season comes around, we look forward to putting up a tree, giving and receiving gifts, and participating in other traditions that make this wonderful time of year so special. But sometimes, the most significant aspect of the season — remembering the birth of Jesus — grows old and familiar.

We're excited to give away a brand-new free resource from Paul Tripp Ministries: the Everyday Gospel Christmas Devotional. This downloadable ebook includes 25 daily readings by Paul, each paired with a Scripture passage and a prayer. In today’s episode, we’ll share the introduction and the December 1 entry to help you meditate on the true reason for the season. To download your free copy and follow along every day until Christmas, go to PaulTripp.com/Christmas.
