If you’re looking for some fun listening for the holiday season—whether it’s to brighten your commute or have something edifying to play as you drive around looking at Christmas lights—we have you covered! Here are three Sola programs to listen to before Christmas.
1. God Bless Us Every One: Lessons of Guilt, Grace, and Gratitude from A Christmas Carol
God Bless Us Every One is a White Horse in special with three episodes, each focusing on one of the Ghosts of Christmas that visit Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Produced with engaging special effects and vibrant audio, this is a fun way to explore a Christmas classic.
2. The Rich Theology of Christmas Hymns and Carols
Adriel Sanchez draws out the deeply biblical theology of some classic Christmas hymns and carols in this episode of Core Christianity. You can watch it on YouTube and enjoy the accompanying visuals, or just let the audio play and listen to Adriel work through the rich doctrine-put-to-poetry in some of the most beautiful music to come out of the Christmas season.
As a bonus, Sola staff curated a Spotify playlist of their own favorite Christmas songs—you can listen to it here!
3. “A King is Born: The Nativity” (For Kids!)
Sola Media’s children’s podcast, Tell Me A Story, walked through the grand story of Redemption in Season One. “A King is Born” is the episode on the Nativity, which includes a short devotional from Pastor Adriel. With thrilling audio effects and dynamic voice acting, this is a great way to introduce your kids to the story of Christ’s birth as we find it in the Gospels.
