Show Summary: When we think of Christmas we don’t often focus on the genealogy of Jesus. As we celebrate the incredible birth story of our Savior, what if we also took a look at the people of faith who came before? During this conversation on God Hears Her, join Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins as they talk with Kathlenn Macinnic Kichline about four incredible women of faith in the genealogy of Jesus. Kathleen takes you through a journey that will leave you even more excited about the birth of Jesus. Get out your Bibles and some hot cocoa for this conversation on God Hears Her.
