A Blue Collar Christmas: The Shepherds’ Role in the Nativity
In this special Christmas-themed episode of the Lifework Podcast, Stan Norman and Rhyne Putman dive into the inspiring story of the shepherds from Luke’s Gospel. Why did God choose these unlikely witnesses for such a monumental event? What does this reveal about His view of work, especially blue-collar labor?
Join us as we explore the gritty realities of shepherding in ancient Israel, the profound significance of their role in the nativity story, and the encouraging message it offers to anyone in a hard, undervalued job. This episode reminds us that no matter how humble our work may seem, it matters deeply to God.
Whether you’re a fan of Christmas pageants, inspired by the nativity, or simply seeking encouragement this holiday season, this conversation will deepen your appreciation for the Christmas story and the value of your work.
