Christ In Me with Addie
Hey guys I'm your host Addie and Here on "Christ In Me" we seek to live out a John 3:30 life. John 3:30 says, "He must become greater and greater and I less and less."
In a society that says do more, make more, say more, spend more, be more.... how do we set aside our own desires to allow for Jesus to show us who he intends us to be? It is my prayer that you walk away from each episode saying, "I know Christ in me." Thank you for being here. Thank you for having a heart to know the Lord more deeply. So let's get into today's topic!

Christ In Me with Addie
Mary's POV
So many of us know the true reason for the Christmas season which is undoubtedly: Jesus. As newly married young married woman, this year I began to reflect on Jesus’s birth story, but from the perspective of someone who is often forgotten if not misunderstood, or in some denominations, overly-glorified in the retelling.
I started to think about the birth story of Jesus from Mary’s perspective. She was a believer with amazing faith. She had to endure pains, trials, and hardships. I think we often overlook her hardships, because we are again, as we should be, focused on the joy of Jesus. Let's dive in to scripture to see what we can learn from Mary!
