O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Karl and Crew Mornings

Today, on Karl and Crew, we examined the origins of the popular Christmas song "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." It is a Christian hymn that refers to the biblical concept of Immanuel (meaning "God with us") from Isaiah 8:8, essentially expressing a prayerful longing for the coming of Jesus Christ, both at his first birth and in anticipation of his second coming. Our special guest was Becky Harling, a speaker, mentor, author, and podcast host. She talked about the importance of loneliness and community during the holiday season, as highlighted in her latest book, "Cultivating Deeper Connections in a Lonely World." Also, we shared that Moody has several Christmas specials to enjoy, including the Karl and Crew special. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew podcast.
