God Shows Up In Our Stories, Especially at Christmas: Danica McKellar & Matt Rawle

Whether you’ve been a Christian your whole life because you were raised in the faith, or you’re just curious about what Christianity is all about, there are many ways we can come to know God, sometimes when we’re not even looking for Him. In the Bible, the prophet Isaiah tells us in Romans 10:20 that “[God] is found by those who did not seek [Him], [He] became manifest to those who did not ask for [Him].” As we all enjoy our favorite stories of Christmas this year, and as Christians celebrate the birth of Christ, everyone can pause and reflect on the ways God might show up in our lives and look forward to new ways we might uncover His goodness in the coming year as well. Actress Danica McKellar always felt a tug at her heart that there was something out there she hadn’t quite uncovered yet. Not long ago, when her friend and fellow actress Candace Cameron Bure sent her a Bible, the switch flipped and she came to the realization that it had been God tugging at her heart all along. Now, she’s embarked on a new-found journey of faith and is eagerly anticipating this Christmas season with a new lease on life. Author and pastor Matt Rawle loves digging deep into our culture to find traces of God in places we’d least expect. He’s uncovered themes in beloved Christmas classics like The Grinch and has found joy and a new understanding of God and the way He presents Himself in the world.

And that is precious to me. And it's a journey of discovery.” - Danica McKellar “I can let go and let God. I can find that peace that surpasses understanding, because I know it doesn't matter what's going on in this world now that I have this connection to True Peace." - Danica McKellar "You know that childhood joy when you see how excited they are for Christmas? This year there's a whole new layer for me. It's the actual meaning behind the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ." - Danica McKellar “We don't always use culture beneficially, but culture in and of itself certainly isn't bad, but it can, I think, powerfully communicate to us who God is." - Matt Rawle “If we believe The Incarnation [of God in the form of Jesus] to be true, then culture is a vehicle through which we can discern God…Scripture says that God created all things through Christ and God was pleased to reconcile all things through Christ. Therefore, there is a hint of God in everything.” - Matt Rawle “Jesus taught using pop cultural references of the time. Of course, we're 2,000 years removed from that, so they don't seem to be so popular in terms of pop culture today. But in Jesus's time, they absolutely were.” - Matt Rawle “Christmas in particular is a great time to explore that intersection between culture and our shared lives together in spreading the gospel.” - Matt Rawle ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Girl Math with Danica McKellar

Have you heard of “girl math”? Perhaps it’s best described in this scenario: You go to your favorite store, find a pair of pants that you absolutely love, but then a few days later when you try them on at home, you realize that they’re just not your jam… so you go back and return them. So, why, praytell, does it then feel like you’re actually MAKING money when that $50 gets returned to you?? On TikTok, this phenomenon is called “girl math,” and this week we’re breaking it all down with someone many people would call the ultimate "math girl,” if you will — Danica McKellar. You may know her best as Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years, but she’s also an internationally recognized mathematician and author of the New York Times bestselling book for middle schoolers “Math Doesn’t Suck.” In other words, she has the singularly unique title of being the woman who helped make math fun — cool, even! — for a new generation. She helps us define the “girl math” trend and tells us what's really going on beneath the surface. And, yes, she also dishes some juicy details on her life as an actor — she has a new movie coming out soon, “Swing Into Romance,” which premieres October 7th on Great American Family, and we can’t wait to check it out.
