This weekend, Tyler reflects on Luke 2, recounting the birth of Jesus and its profound connection to finding meaning amidst a world of apathy, anxiety, and distractions.

The pervasive issue of "meh"—emotional apathy or languishing—has become one of today’s significant spiritual challenges, alongside a broader lack of purpose. While the holiday season is culturally celebrated as a time of joy, it often amplifies feelings of emptiness, as many find themselves overwhelmed by distractions and trivialities.

However, the message of Jesus's birth reveals a deeper truth: true meaning is found in sacrificial love for God and others. By embracing God’s purpose and living with intentionality and sacrifice, we can counter apathy and discover lasting peace and joy.

This Christmas, let us look beyond the noise and busyness of the season, rediscovering the hope and purpose that come through the birth of Christ.
