Follow us this Advent season as we explore the mystery of the Christ child and look at how our own children so frequently and beautifully show us God. Each week, we will devote Sunday to meditation and listen through the corresponding song from the Firstborn content. Monday through Saturday we will share short, story-driven encouragement focusing on children and how (as Jesus instructed) we can be a little more like them this Christmas.
