Kristen Rickards sings Silent Night on Christmas EveMerry Christmas Everyone Jesus came into the world to save us!https://youtu.be/-4wEZeFry60

Have you ever faced a Christmas where you quietly thought, “Lord, I really need You to show up this year”? 💔In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Betsy Stowe as she shares a powerful true story from nearly 30 years ago — a year when her family had no money, no gifts, and not even a Christmas tree. Her husband was an associate pastor, she was serving in ministry and teaching piano, and they had a long history of trusting God for every need… but this year felt especially heavy.Just when they decided there would be no presents, only simple celebration, baking, games, and focusing on Jesus, God began writing a miracle:Friends showed up with a tree and wrapped gifts — even though no one had been told about their need.An envelope with a check and movie tickets appeared, a sweet extra touch from a gift-giving God.On Christmas Eve, all those gifts flew off the car roof on a packed Southern California freeway… and it looked like everything was lost again.From a failing alternator, to honking cars, to a Navy SEAL–tattooed CHP officer, to the freeway being shut down so their presents could be safely recovered — this story will have you saying, “Only God.” 🙌And then, in the quiet of the car ride afterward, Betsy heard the Lord whisper to her heart:“I knew you wanted to give good gifts to your children. So I gave them to you not once, but twice — so you would know I am a good and gift-giving God, and I love you.”We also talk about the beautiful name Emmanuel — God with us — and how, in every hardship, He is present, He is for us, and He will never fail or forsake us.💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:Why God sometimes allows a deep “backdrop of need” so His goodness and timing shine even brighter.How Emmanuel, “God with us,” is not just a Christmas name but a daily reality in our financial struggles, fears, and disappointments.How to trust God when everything looks lost… twice — and how He uses people, timing, and even traffic to show His love.❤️ Emotional BreakthroughThe emotional breakthrough comes when Betsy realizes that God didn’t just replace what was lost — He doubled it, on purpose, to show His heart as a good and gift-giving Father. Her tears and that quiet whisper from the Lord will touch anyone who has ever wondered, “Lord, do You really see me?”🎥 Why you should watchIf you’re walking into this Christmas season feeling stretched, unseen, or worried about how it will all work out, this story will remind you: Emmanuel — God with us — is still writing miracles today. 🌟Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share for more Christ-centered conversations.Visit thecallwithnancysabato.comUntil next time, let’s give all glory and honor to King Jesus! 🙌✨

ANGELS: God’s Heavenly Help 👼✨My dear friend, if you’ve ever walked through something so heavy that you asked, “Lord, are You sending any help at all?” — this conversation with Melissa Spoelstra is going to speak directly to your heart.Today Melissa helps us understand what Scripture actually reveals about ANGELS, how they move in the unseen, why God created them, and how their presence brings hope, strength, protection, and truth in seasons where we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or spiritually attacked.Melissa opens up about her father’s passing, the comment that sparked her study of biblical angelology, and how reading Scripture from Genesis to Revelation showed her how ANGELS adore God, notify His servants, guard His boundaries, enact His judgment, lead His people, and serve as agents of His sovereign purposes. She reminds us that our prayers are heard immediately in heaven, that unseen battles may delay what we long for, and that we are precious to God—just as Gabriel told Daniel.One emotional breakthrough Melissa shares is how God’s sovereignty anchors us in the middle of spiritual warfare, uncertainty, and suffering. We don’t have to fear the supernatural realm because greater is He who is in us than anything we face. And we can trust that the God of Angel Armies truly fights for us.❤️ 3 Things You’ll Learn:How ANGELS show up throughout Scripture—and what that means for your daily life right now.How to discern misinformation about angels and develop a biblical worldview rooted in truth.How God uses ANGELS as part of His sovereign plan to protect, lead, and strengthen His people.This interview will help you remember that even when you feel alone, heaven is never still.Watch until the end for one strong reason: You need the reminder that God is fighting for you—right now, today, in the unseen.Won by the Son,Nancy 💛✨YouTubehttps://youtu.be/DBjXEbLCKlgDon’t forget to like, subscribe, and share for more Christ-centered conversations.Visit thecallwithnancysabato.com
