How many Christmas carols do you know by heart? So many people—regardless of their faith or background—can sing along to at least the first verse of songs like Joy to the World, Silent Night, and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. But how many of us can say we know the stories behind the classic holiday hymns we sing year after year?
On today’s episode of the Great Stories podcast, Charles Morris rejoins David Wollen to interview author and pastor Robert J. Morgan about the remarkable stories behind our most cherished Christmas Carols. Recorded on a chilly day in Nashville, Tennessee, we pray this conversation will help you worship Jesus this year as you learn the fascinating history behind the hymns of Christmas.
