Christmas is only a few days away, and you can feel the excitement in the air! The season is in full swing, and Christian families are looking forward to time with their loved ones as they remember the birth of Jesus Christ on Monday.

Today, we’re bringing you a special message by popular author and speaker Liz Curtis Higgs. She spoke at our staff chapel about the very first Christmas and how those momentous events in Bethlehem changed the world forever.

Earlier this year, Focus on the Family officially re-launched Brio Magazine, our publication for teen girls. It’s a positive, godly alternative to most of the influences out there today for teenage girls.

Our “Brio girl” for the inaugural issue was Sadie Robertson. Many of you know her from the A&E reality show Duck Dynasty and from Dancing with the Stars a few seasons ago.

She’s just 20, but she’s an impressive young lady, and we’ve asked her to join us in the studio today to share how she is fearlessly living out her faith and using her public platform to be an excellent role model for girls.
