Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? Some say He would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still, others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced He was the divine Son of God. Who was He really? And how can you know for sure? Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Lee Strobel, an award-winning legal journalist, searched out the true identity of the child in the manger.

Lee Strobel is an American Christian author, apologist, speaker, and former investigative journalist who transitioned from an atheist investigative journalist into a leading Christian apologist and author, blending rigorous investigative methods with his faith journey to influence millions worldwide. Born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Strobel earned a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School; growing up in a nominally Christian but non-practicing household, he became a committed atheist who viewed Christianity as irrational until 1979, when his wife Leslie's conversion prompted a nearly two-year personal investigation into the historical evidence for Jesus. On November 8, 1981, at age 29, Strobel became a Christian, an experience he describes as “falling in love with Jesus” while interviewing scholars and examining ancient manuscripts. A 14-year veteran of The Chicago Tribune where he served as award-winning legal editor, Strobel earned Illinois' highest honors for investigative reporting and public service journalism from United Press International before pivoting full-time to Christian apologetics. He is a New York Times bestselling author of over 40 books and curricula—including the seminal The Case for Christ (1998), which has sold over 5 million copies—with total sales exceeding 18 million copies translated into 40 languages. His “Case for…” series, along with titles like The Case for Faith, The Case for Miracles, and The Case for Heaven, applies courtroom-style evidence to core doctrines. Strobel, currently serves as Founding Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University. He is described by The Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community's most popular apologists,” he has received multiple Gold Medallion Awards and the 2023 Pillar Award for History from the Museum of the Bible. Married to Leslie since 1973, Strobel is father to daughter Alison (novelist and homeschooling expert) and son Kyle (professor of spiritual theology at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology), and he continues to equip believers worldwide with intellectual tools to defend and share their faith effectively.

In this annual Christmas episode of That Don't Sound Right, hosts Peter and Cecil take a curious and thoughtful look at the Christmas story—and the parts that, at first glance, just don't sound right. From centuries-old prophecies foretelling Jesus' birth to the surprising fulfillment of promises through a humble baby, the hosts explore key Old Testament references including the Davidic lineage, Isaiah's prophecy of a virgin birth and “Emmanuel,” the powerful titles of Isaiah 9, and the foreshadowing found in Psalm 69. They also discuss the statistical improbability of Jesus fulfilling 48 messianic prophecies, as highlighted in Lee Strobel's work. The conversation kicks off with a lighthearted Wheel Horse anecdote before settling into the show's signature blend of humor, curiosity, and reflection—shared openly from a believer's perspective. As always, this special Christmas episode is short, conversational, and designed to invite listeners into the discussion, whether they're longtime believers, skeptics, or simply curious about the story behind the season.

Doubt doesn't always start with disbelief; it often starts with uneven standards. We put ancient sources on pedestals while demanding perfection from the Gospels. So we ask a sharper question: if historians trust accounts of Alexander the Great written centuries after his death, what should we do with Christian claims circulating within years of the resurrection? Walking through insights popularized by Lee Strobel and scholarship that outlines early creeds, eyewitness proximity, and manuscript depth, we press for intellectual fairness—and courage to follow the evidence where it leads.From there, we bring faith home. Colossians 3 reframes marriage not as power but as mutual sacrifice: wives honoring God's order, husbands rejecting bitterness through self-giving love. Then we step into the Jordan and the wilderness. John the Baptist calls for fruit worthy of repentance, and Jesus answers temptation with Scripture, refusing shortcuts to comfort, spectacle, or power. Those scenes become a map for modern pressure: hold to truth, obey when unseen, and let God define the path.We round out the journey with battle-tested courage and seasonal hope. The story of Medal of Honor recipient Joel Thompson Boone shows love with skin in the game—running into fire to save the wounded. Psalm 3 and Proverbs 1 ground our courage and prudence, while FDR's 1935 Christmas words cast a wider light: the message of peace and goodwill crosses borders, eras, and fears. Taken together, these threads form a steadying line—from historical reliability to daily obedience, from battlefield sacrifice to a manger's promise.

Stephanie hosts Lee Strobel, acclaimed author known for "The Case for Christ" and many other works examining the evidence for Christianity. Together they explore the true story of Christmas, the reality of miracles, and how the supernatural intersects with our everyday lives. This conversation challenges us to view Christmas with fresh eyes, to trust in God's supernatural power, and to enter the season embracing generosity, hope, and an openness to miracles—both big and small.Understanding historical and cultural context enriches our appreciation for the Christmas story and corrects misconceptions shaped by tradition and mistranslation. So, Stephanie opens by asking Lee to unpack traditional nativity scenes. Strobel explains that the common image of Mary and Joseph being turned away by a harsh innkeeper actually stems from a mistranslation. The Greek word "kataluma" is better understood as "guest room" rather than an inn. In first-century Bethlehem, homes often had a main living area with adjacent space for animals, and wealthier homes included a guest room. Mary and Joseph most likely found shelter with relatives who didn't have space in the guest room, so Jesus was born in the main family area, not in a crowded stable. Furthermore, Lee debunks the myth that Bethlehem was bustling with commercial inns; hospitality was so valued in that culture, it would be unthinkable to turn away a pregnant woman.Miracles, by definition, are acts of God that transcend natural laws; if we accept the existence of a Creator, then miracles like the virgin birth become logically possible. So, Lee addresses common skepticism about the virgin birth, referencing Dr. William Lane Craig's journey from doubt to faith. The miracle becomes scientifically plausible when recognizing that if God created the universe and set the laws of nature, creating a Y chromosome is a simple task for Him.Our celebrations are opportunities to focus on generosity and the meaning of Christ's birth rather than being distracted by debates about dates or traditions. In that way, the date of Christmas isn't biblically mandated—early Christians didn't record or celebrate birthdays. December 25th became tradition through a series of theological and historical developments, not pagan theft. Gift-giving echoes the generosity of figures like St. Nicholas, whose story shaped holiday customs such as stocking gifts.Miracles still happen and can be examined with reason and evidence. Prayer remains a powerful connection to God's supernatural work. Lee emphasizes medical documentation, credible witnesses, lack of natural explanation, and a context of prayer as strong criteria for validating miracles. Modern research, such as documented healing events in places like Mozambique and Brazil, shows that miracles often accompany breakthroughs of the gospel.The Holy Spirit continues to work beyond cultural and political barriers, using dreams, visions, and supernatural encounters to reveal Jesus. Lee's book "Seeing the Supernatural" and testimonies from the Middle East reveal how God uses dreams and visions to reach people, especially in closed countries. These experiences often have cross-verification and lead individuals into Christian community.God's promise is not a life free of suffering but a hope of ultimate healing and redemption, both now and in eternity. Stephanie and Lee close by reflecting on personal experiences with pain and loss. They discuss how suffering can lead to deeper faith, humility, and compassion, and how God redeems our pain according to Romans 8:28.THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO PARTNER WITH GOSPEL SPICE TODAY!First, PAY Gospel Spice Forward: Give a tax-deductible gift so others can experience our ministry for free, just like you!

Gospel Spice exists to inspire our generation to delight in God. We do this through the podcast, online Bible studies, leadership trainings, and more. We want to serve Christ-followers who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel. We want to love God, because He first loved us. We want to experience the fullness of life with Him—and not be content with stale, boring, leftover faith. Jesus tells us that the most important thing is to love the Lord our God, so we take Him seriously. He adds that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Drawing from his investigative approach, Strobel explains how a deeper look at language, culture, and prophecy clarifies long-held misunderstandings, such as the translation of the Greek word kataluma, which likely refers not to a commercial inn but to a guest room in a first-century home, suggesting Jesus was born in a family setting rather than a detached stable. He also highlights that many supposed parallels between Christianity and ancient myths collapse under scrutiny, reinforcing the uniqueness of the virgin birth and the reliability of biblical accounts. Strobel examines the legitimacy of Isaiah's prophecy about a virgin birth, noting its placement within a cluster of Messianic expectations and its accurate rendering in early translations. The conversation touches on modern skepticism—particularly among Gen Z—yet Strobel notes a surprising openness to truth when evidence is thoughtfully presented. He emphasizes that Christianity rests on solid historical and factual foundations, but ultimately invites a heart response to God's incarnation and redemptive mission. Strobel closes by expressing optimism about spiritual awakening among young people and announces his forthcoming film, The Case for Miracles, which documents contemporary evidence of God's ongoing work. NEXT WEEK:  DL Moody Biographer Kevin BelmonteSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel to explore some of the most profound questions of faith: Are miracles real? What evidence supports the Christmas story? What are angels like?  Lee was famously an atheist, and when his wife came to faith in Christ, he set out to prove her wrong. In the end, he discovered that the evidence for Jesus was too substantial to ignore and he became a Christian. Since then, he has helped countless people wrestle with life's biggest questions: Is God real? How do we navigate a spiritually mismatched marriage? How can we help our kids understand the evidence that Jesus came, died, and rose again?  Now, he has a new movie coming out called The Case for Miracles, bringing the supernatural to life in a powerful and compelling way. In this interview, we explore: Documented cases of divine healing Spiritual Mismatch in marriage and how to have hope  The evidence surrounding Christmas and the incarnation Do angels exist?

On today's special edition of Family Talk, Roger Marsh welcomes best-selling author Lee Strobel to discuss his new and updated book, The Case for Christmas. Strobel shares his research on the plausible cause for the virgin birth, and how a study of one Greek word in the Bible sheds light on the traditional Christmas story. Isaiah 9:6 declares, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/707/29?v=20251111
