We cherish the cozy, picture-perfect version of the holidays, but the true story of Christmas was a disruption. This Advent season, we’re challenging the sentimentality in our series, “Christmas Disrupted,” exploring how God’s initial intervention shattered expectations— disrupting Joseph and Mary’s plans and shaking up Herod’s power. The ultimate disruption was Jesus Himself, who arrived not as a mighty king ready to conquer, but as an innocent, vulnerable baby, completely subverting humanity’s expectations of power and glory. This radical beginning continues to speak to the modern-day interruptions we face, from stressful travel and family conflict to financial pressure and emotional fatigue. Join us as we look past the tinsel to encounter the raw, radical, and profoundly hopeful reality of God breaking into a chaotic world, offering peace and purpose even amidst the disruptions of the Christmas season.
