Xin grew up in Beijing China in a religiously secular home. In her pursuit of science and engineering, she came to the United States for continuing education. It was upon her arrival to the US that she was introduced to Christianity. At the time, this was not a positive experience for her, and she continued to keep distance from Christian people. Eventually, she and her husband were looking for childcare in the Copper Country for their daughters. A place they had hoped to attend rejected them, and by the grace of God led them to the Early Learning Center at Saints Peter and Paul. It was here, then, that conversations about Christianity started happening again, and everything began changing.

Listen to Xin eloquently tell her story of life and journey to follow Jesus.

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin discuss the visit of Mary to Elizabeth. In this scene, John (inside Elizabeth's womb) leaps for joy because Jesus is there!

Think about that. It's amazing that these children are interacting within the wombs of their own mothers.

What role does joy play in your life? Do you have a joyful life?

There are a lot of misconceptions about what it means to live a life of joy. The guys will discuss those in this conversation and help us to get to a Biblical understanding of joy.

As always, we hope you enjoy it!

Have you ever heard that phrase "in the shadows" before? What sort of image does that conjure up in your mind? Likely, you think of the activity of criminals or secret societies. In Luke 1, the angel Gabriel tells Mary that the "power of the most high will overshadow her." What do you think? Is that a negative comment or a positive one?

In this week's conversation, Aaron and Kevin are talking about this announcement to Mary, and the metaphorical language of light and shadows.

We hope that you'll take something you hear in this conversation and start another conversation with someone else.

We hope you enjoy it!
