Reclaiming the Wonder of Christmas

ByJamie Rohrbaugh December 1, 2017November 30, 2017

Why I’m Celebrating Hanukkah This Christmas

ByTaryn Hutchison December 1, 2016November 29, 2016

Every fall, I choose one Christmas decoration to add to my stash. This year, I bought a brass menorah, and I’m not even Jewish. My menorah sits proudly in the middle of my dining room table, a reminder of the Old Testament heritage I share as a Christ-follower. I’ve long wanted to understand more about…
