What if the secret to experiencing an extraordinary life lies in the simple act of obedience? Join me, Ben Carruthers, as we uncover the profound impact of Christmas traditions and the timeless lessons embedded within the story of Joseph. Through a personal tradition of writing letters to my future self each Christmas, I capture the essence of the season and the way it inspires us to embrace faith and submission. Delve into the narrative of ordinary individuals achieving extraordinary feats through their unwavering trust in God's authority, and discover how these lessons can transform your own life.

In this episode, we explore the journey of living in obedience and grace, shedding light on how small daily choices can lead to monumental impacts. Using the metaphor of a canoe trip, we illustrate how God’s grace supports us when we falter, reminding us that our imperfections are met with His strength and encouragement. Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis and the story of Joseph, we discuss how acts of love and patience fulfill God’s commandments, empowering us to be part of a greater plan. Let the spirit of the Christmas season guide you towards acknowledging your imperfections and embracing the extraordinary possibilities that lie in obedience and grace.
