Mary Did You Know? (An Expat Perspective) Episode 19

We thought it might be time to do another Christmas episode since our last one was in the Year of Our Lord 2020. This time, we're taking a look at the story of the birth of Jesus from Mary's perspective. At first glance, we might not feel like we can relate to MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS THE MESSIAH. But we know she was a sojourner—an expat, if you will. So for this episode of It's Tea Time Somewhere, Denise and Alicia will share four reflections about Mary's experience which we, as expats, can find relatable. While Mary did know some of what was to come from the baby in her womb, there were many things she likely did not know in advance. And a Christmas episode would not be complete without listening to the angelic voice of Melissa. You won't want to miss her new song she's written and recorded just for the Taking Route community! While this song is not specific to Christmas, it pairs nicely with the experience of Mary uprooting herself and her child and moving to several locations. Your TCKs will especially enjoy this one. Also, have your tissues ready because they lyrics will tug on your heartstrings. P.S. Be sure to check out our show notes before listening to this episode. We have some questions for you to reflect on and "ponder in your heart" (in keeping with the Mary theme of this episode). It's not necessary to answer these questions ahead of time, but it might enrich your listening experience.
