Welcome back for another Christmas episode of the Significant Women Podcast with Carol McLeod! On today's show Carol dives further into the Christmas story, exploring the role of John, Elizabeth, and the great joy of the season found in Christ's coming.Key TakeawaysJesus has always been God's plan. From Eden to Abraham, from David to Daniel, God's rescue plan for humanity has always been Jesus.John the Baptist responded to Jesus even in the womb. When Mary visited Elizabeth, baby John leapt for joy—not at Mary's presence, but at the presence of Jesus.Joy is found only in the presence of the Lord. Happiness comes from circumstances, but heaven's joy comes from being near Jesus.The “John jump” is the natural response to Jesus. When Jesus enters our lives, the appropriate reaction is exuberant joy—because joy is the atmosphere of heaven.We often look for joy in the wrong places. Gifts, gatherings, busyness, and traditions may bring happiness, but only Jesus offers true joy.Christmas calls us back to His presence. Prayer, worship, and Scripture immerse us in the joy Jesus brought to earth.Everyone can experience joy—regardless of life's pain. Joy is not dependent on circumstances. Even in hardship, Jesus brings the joy of heaven to earth.The Christmas story is a story of God's love and plan. It is not about cultural trimmings, but about God sending Jesus to bring salvation, hope, and joy.

In this special bonus episode of How to Study the Bible, author and podcaster Carol McLeod joins Nicole to talk about falling in love with Scripture, walking with the Holy Spirit, and staying faithful in every season. From early-morning verse memory at her kitchen table, to decades of quiet service before writing her twentieth book, Carol reminds us that small beginnings matter. “His presence is all the preparation you need.” She shares a striking insight from Mark 5/Luke 8—linking a 12-year illness and a 12-year-old girl—and offers a tender word for anyone hurting this Christmas: Jesus came to carry your griefs. "Christmas is especially for you if you’re hurting; Jesus came to carry your griefs.” What We Discuss: Model > mandate: Carol fell in love with Scripture because her dad lived it and invited her into his early-morning Bible time with intentional verse memory. Start small & be faithful: Ministry often begins with a handful of people—dorm devos, a living-room group—long before books and microphones. His presence prepares us: You can plan, but ultimately “His presence is all the preparation you need” when you teach or serve. A double 12: A fresh reading of Mark 5/Luke 8 (woman hemorrhaging 12 years; Jairus’ daughter aged 12) calls us to care for both women with wounds and the next generation of girls who need Jesus. Christmas is for the brokenhearted: Christ came not only to bear our sins but also to carry our griefs—especially good news for a hard holiday season. Bible Verse References (linked) Lamentations 3:22–23 — His mercies are new every morning. Mark 5:21–43 / Luke 8:40–56 — Jairus’ daughter & the woman with the issue of blood (“Talitha koum”). Isaiah 53:4 — He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Want More? Subscribe to How to Study the Bible and leave a rating/review to help others find the show.
