Episode Synopsis

Dr. Hunter shows how a government decree and ancient prophecies converged to place Jesus in Bethlehem—proving that even “top-down” headlines can serve God’s plan. “Worldly plots play into God’s plan.” In this Christmas episode, Dr. Johnny Hunter revisits the original headline—Caesar Augustus’ census (Luke 2:1)—and traces how it moved Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, fulfilling centuries-old prophecy (Mic 5:2). With clear, devotional commentary, he walks through key promises pointing to Messiah’s birth and early years (Gen 3:15; Gen 12:3; Isa 7:14; Hos 11:1; Matt 2), the visit of the wise men, Herod’s rage, and God’s protective guidance.The takeaway: history isn’t random—God rules over rulers, and Christ brings real peace in a turbulent season. Encouraging, Bible-saturated, and perfect for Christmas listeners.If this helped you:Subscribe and share with a friend who needs hope today.To connect and learn more, visit learninc.orgListen to Just Common Sense on your favorite podcast app.
