Description

In this Christmas episode, Jeff and Bill have a conversation about incarnation. That’s a ten-cent word that points to the mystery of the ineffable taking flesh. If Christmas reveals that God loves us by sending love in the birth of the child Jesus, this signals that our love must take tangible form. Yet, there’s a risk, right? Whenever we love, there is the risk that it won’t be received. And jazz musicians know all about taking risks! Give this one a listen. Merry Christmas, everybody.
