On this special episode of the Shepherdcast, we will be taking a look at Micah 5: 2-3, Isaiah 7: 13-14, Isaiah 9: 2-6, and the Gospel of Luke 2: 5-14, and the Reverend Scott J. Anderson will be discussing a favorite cartoon of his, which moved from ABC to Apple TV+ this year. Today’s episode came from our special evening worship service on the day before Christmas Eve: Wednesday, December 23, 2020.

In case you are reading along with a Bible and our readings don’t necessarily match up with yours, we use the NRSV translation of the Holy Bible.
