00:26:53.342 --> 00:26:56.779
Course of the movie they start to learn about each other so
00:26:56.913 --> 00:26:57.546
To learn about each other so the kids because they haven't
00:26:57.680 --> 00:26:58.281
The kids because they haven't heard the story before start
00:26:58.414 --> 00:26:58.981
Heard the story before start asking all these questions and
00:26:59.115 --> 00:27:01.284
Asking all these questions and so you as the viewer and the
00:27:01.417 --> 00:27:02.118
So you as the viewer and the main characters at the church
00:27:02.251 --> 00:27:04.620
Main characters at the church in many ways because they're
00:27:04.754 --> 00:27:05.321
In many ways because they're explaining story to these kids
00:27:05.454 --> 00:27:08.891
Explaining story to these kids who've never heard it before
00:27:09.025 --> 00:27:09.592
Who've never heard it before and these kids are asking all
00:27:09.725 --> 00:27:11.794
And these kids are asking all all these questions and trying
00:27:11.928 --> 00:27:12.528
All these questions and trying out these things because of
00:27:12.662 --> 00:27:13.229
Out these things because of their quote unquote ignorance
00:27:13.362 --> 00:27:16.365
Their quote unquote ignorance it actually makes the story
00:27:16.499 --> 00:27:17.033
It actually makes the story more fresh for everybody and
00:27:17.166 --> 00:27:20.236
More fresh for everybody and about each other and they learn
00:27:20.369 --> 00:27:21.003
About each other and they learn about the story.
00:27:21.137 --> 00:27:21.504
About the story. and so i don't think i'm giving
00:27:21.637 --> 00:27:24.106
And so i don't think i'm giving too much away.
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:24.573
Too much away. the title is the best christmas
00:27:24.707 --> 00:27:25.341
The title is the best christmas pageant ever but the the
00:27:25.474 --> 00:27:27.944
Pageant ever but the the pageant ends up having more
00:27:28.077 --> 00:27:28.678
Pageant ends up having more freshness and more meaning to
00:27:28.811 --> 00:27:32.148
Freshness and more meaning to people than it ever had before.
00:27:32.281 --> 00:27:32.915
People than it ever had before. and so it's actually quite
00:27:33.049 --> 00:27:35.751
And so it's actually quite quite moving at the end.
00:27:35.885 --> 00:27:36.419
Quite moving at the end. in fact, people have seen the
00:27:36.552 --> 00:27:37.219
In fact, people have seen the movie i keep hearing from them
00:27:37.353 --> 00:27:39.989
Movie i keep hearing from them say yeah, when i got to the end
00:27:40.122 --> 00:27:40.756
Say yeah, when i got to the end i had a similar experience to
00:27:40.890 --> 00:27:41.590
I had a similar experience to the one you had reading the
00:27:41.724 --> 00:27:43.459
The one you had reading the book.
00:27:43.592 --> 00:27:43.759
Book. it was just very emotional.
00:27:43.893 --> 00:27:44.460
It was just very emotional. so this is really true meaning
00:27:44.593 --> 00:27:47.029
So this is really true meaning of christmas, the true story of
00:27:47.163 --> 00:27:47.797
Of christmas, the true story of christmas but through the eyes
00:27:47.930 --> 00:27:50.299
Christmas but through the eyes people you wouldn't expect and
00:27:50.433 --> 00:27:51.033
People you wouldn't expect and i think one thing it really
00:27:51.167 --> 00:27:51.734
I think one thing it really brings out for even seasoned
00:27:51.867 --> 00:27:54.236
Brings out for even seasoned believers one of the characters
00:27:54.370 --> 00:27:55.004
Believers one of the characters when they when they are
00:27:55.137 --> 00:27:55.638
When they when they are rehearsing the pageant one of
00:27:55.771 --> 00:27:58.307
Rehearsing the pageant one of the young boys says when when
00:27:58.441 --> 00:27:59.075
The young boys says when when the leader wants to read the
00:27:59.208 --> 00:28:02.712
The leader wants to read the gospel story says this we've
00:28:02.845 --> 00:28:03.412
Gospel story says this we've heard it before or a million
00:28:03.546 --> 00:28:06.749
Heard it before or a million times.
00:28:06.882 --> 00:28:07.049
Times. >> right.
00:28:07.183 --> 00:28:07.416
>> right. and a lot of believers right.
00:28:07.550 --> 00:28:10.052
And a lot of believers right. we become too familiar with the
00:28:10.186 --> 00:28:10.987
We become too familiar with the birth of you really bring out
00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:14.256
Birth of you really bring out some powerful new themes and
00:28:14.390 --> 00:28:18.027
Some powerful new themes and messages through these
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.594
Messages through these characters.
00:28:18.728 --> 00:28:18.995
Characters. >> yeah.
00:28:19.128 --> 00:28:19.328
>> yeah. and that's what i really love
00:28:19.462 --> 00:28:21.964
And that's what i really love and that's what i do with the
00:28:22.098 --> 00:28:22.832
And that's what i do with the chosen.
00:28:22.965 --> 00:28:23.165
Chosen. it's all about hearing and
00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:23.799
It's all about hearing and portraying that we've heard so
00:28:23.933 --> 00:28:26.736
Portraying that we've heard so many times.
00:28:26.869 --> 00:28:27.136
Many times. maybe they've become routine,
00:28:27.269 --> 00:28:30.006
Maybe they've become routine, maybe they've always just been
00:28:30.139 --> 00:28:30.773
Maybe they've always just been words on a page, maybe their
00:28:30.906 --> 00:28:31.474
Words on a page, maybe their stained glass windows and
00:28:31.607 --> 00:28:33.542
Stained glass windows and paintings and statues and we
00:28:33.676 --> 00:28:34.243
Paintings and statues and we forget that these are that
00:28:34.377 --> 00:28:37.046
Forget that these are that really happen that have
00:28:37.179 --> 00:28:37.680
Really happen that have relevance for us today and all
00:28:37.813 --> 00:28:38.414
Relevance for us today and all you have do sometimes is maybe
00:28:38.547 --> 00:28:41.417
You have do sometimes is maybe see it from a different
00:28:41.550 --> 00:28:42.051
See it from a different perspective.
00:28:42.184 --> 00:28:42.451
Perspective. i don't want to change it.
00:28:42.585 --> 00:28:43.152
I don't want to change it. i to make it all brand new
00:28:43.285 --> 00:28:45.521
I to make it all brand new because this is the timeless
00:28:45.654 --> 00:28:46.255
Because this is the timeless tale that that that truly
00:28:46.389 --> 00:28:48.624
Tale that that that truly happened that god wants us to
00:28:48.758 --> 00:28:49.458
Happened that god wants us to have as the foundation of our
00:28:49.592 --> 00:28:52.528
Have as the foundation of our faith.
00:28:52.661 --> 00:28:52.828
Faith. but when you see it for it
00:28:52.962 --> 00:28:53.729
But when you see it for it through different eyes
00:28:53.863 --> 00:28:56.065
Through different eyes sometimes it just reawakens it
00:28:56.198 --> 00:28:56.832
Sometimes it just reawakens it and so that's what happens.
00:28:56.966 --> 00:28:59.468
And so that's what happens. this movie is that all these
00:28:59.602 --> 00:29:00.302
This movie is that all these people who've heard it so many
00:29:00.436 --> 00:29:01.070
People who've heard it so many times for whom it's become it
00:29:01.203 --> 00:29:03.539
Times for whom it's become it becomes something absolutely
00:29:03.672 --> 00:29:04.240
Becomes something absolutely fresh and life changing and for
00:29:04.373 --> 00:29:06.842
Fresh and life changing and for these kids who hadn't heard it
00:29:06.976 --> 00:29:07.610
These kids who hadn't heard it before because of their fresh
00:29:07.743 --> 00:29:08.310
Before because of their fresh perspective it changes their
00:29:08.444 --> 00:29:10.780
Perspective it changes their lives as well.
00:29:10.913 --> 00:29:11.247
Lives as well. and so i would that even
00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:15.484
And so i would that even seasoned believers who've seen
00:29:15.618 --> 00:29:16.218
Seasoned believers who've seen it are going to get something
00:29:16.352 --> 00:29:16.919
It are going to get something new.
00:29:17.053 --> 00:29:17.186
New. >> yeah and i'm not going going
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:19.121
>> yeah and i'm not going going to give anything away but the
00:29:19.255 --> 00:29:19.855
To give anything away but the gift the present that the wise
00:29:19.989 --> 00:29:20.623
Gift the present that the wise wiseman the magi bring in this
00:29:20.756 --> 00:29:22.992
Wiseman the magi bring in this particular pageant is very very
00:29:23.125 --> 00:29:26.962
Particular pageant is very very touching and i think it'll give
00:29:27.096 --> 00:29:27.696
Touching and i think it'll give people a new perspective on the
00:29:27.830 --> 00:29:28.464
People a new perspective on the birth christ and by the way the
00:29:28.597 --> 00:29:31.033
Birth christ and by the way the production design is so
00:29:31.167 --> 00:29:31.667
Production design is so gorgeous it's got a really cozy
00:29:31.801 --> 00:29:34.236
Gorgeous it's got a really cozy christmas feel.
00:29:34.370 --> 00:29:34.703

Love christmas films to adore this.
00:29:38.808 --> 00:29:38.974
This. let's talk about the cast a
00:29:39.108 --> 00:29:39.675
Let's talk about the cast a little bit.
00:29:39.809 --> 00:29:40.076
Little bit. it's a tremendous cast.
00:29:40.209 --> 00:29:41.911
It's a tremendous cast. >> yeah.
00:29:42.044 --> 00:29:42.344
>> yeah. yeah.
00:29:42.478 --> 00:29:42.645
Yeah. judy greer plays the mom she's
00:29:42.778 --> 00:29:45.514
Judy greer plays the mom she's the mom who is thrust into
00:29:45.648 --> 00:29:46.215
The mom who is thrust into volunteering to to to take over
00:29:46.348 --> 00:29:49.652
Volunteering to to to take over the pageant from this woman
00:29:49.785 --> 00:29:50.352
The pageant from this woman who's run it for decades but
00:29:50.486 --> 00:29:53.456
Who's run it for decades but who gets injured.
00:29:53.589 --> 00:29:53.989
Who gets injured. and so i remember judy greer
00:29:54.123 --> 00:29:54.723
And so i remember judy greer who plays the and pete holmes
00:29:54.857 --> 00:29:57.326
Who plays the and pete holmes is a well-known stand up comic
00:29:57.460 --> 00:29:58.060
Is a well-known stand up comic who plays the dad.
00:29:58.194 --> 00:30:00.796
Who plays the dad. they are such a great
00:30:00.930 --> 00:30:01.564
They are such a great combination.
00:30:01.697 --> 00:30:01.964
Combination. they're so funny, so talented
00:30:02.098 --> 00:30:04.900
They're so funny, so talented and yet they also have heart
00:30:05.034 --> 00:30:05.634
And yet they also have heart and they a sense of gravitas to
00:30:05.768 --> 00:30:08.871
And they a sense of gravitas to the movie and what i was going
00:30:09.004 --> 00:30:12.441
The movie and what i was going for in the film is this kind of
00:30:12.575 --> 00:30:13.409
For in the film is this kind of timelessness right?
00:30:13.542 --> 00:30:15.444
Timelessness right? >> and so that's what you see
00:30:15.578 --> 00:30:16.278
>> and so that's what you see is you don't know exactly what
00:30:16.412 --> 00:30:17.012
Is you don't know exactly what decade it is, know exactly what
00:30:17.146 --> 00:30:19.815
Decade it is, know exactly what time period it is.
00:30:19.949 --> 00:30:20.349
Time period it is. it just feels like you're in
00:30:20.483 --> 00:30:23.185
It just feels like you're in fact my production designer.
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:23.886
Fact my production designer. >> he used the word then he
00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:24.620

Goes it feels like then whenever that is for you and i
00:30:27.389 --> 00:30:28.023
Whenever that is for you and i think that's a good description

I felt so fortunate to get these great actors, people who
00:30:42.872 --> 00:30:43.472
These great actors, people who i'd been these characters i'd
00:30:43.606 --> 00:30:44.206
I'd been these characters i'd been envisioning for 20 years
00:30:44.340 --> 00:30:45.975
Been envisioning for 20 years and then finally got a chance

I'm so proud of the cast. >> were there any special

>> were there any special behind the scenes moments maybe
00:31:01.190 --> 00:31:01.790
Behind the scenes moments maybe even particularly with the the
00:31:01.924 --> 00:31:03.893
Even particularly with the the kids?
00:31:04.026 --> 00:31:04.193
Kids? i mean i don't know if most of

I mean i don't know if most of these kids were kind of more
00:31:05.127 --> 00:31:05.761
These kids were kind of more unknown actors but special
00:31:05.895 --> 00:31:08.130
Unknown actors but special memories from the set and
00:31:08.264 --> 00:31:08.764

Forget is is the climactic scene of the film we're filming
00:31:13.068 --> 00:31:15.704

Putting on the pageant and there's in the book that made
00:31:17.173 --> 00:31:19.308
There's in the book that made me weep and the main character

All the kids she's playing the part of mother mary and someone
00:31:27.349 --> 00:31:27.983
Part of mother mary and someone who you'd never imagine could

Who you'd never imagine could mary because mary is supposed
00:31:30.653 --> 00:31:31.253
Mary because mary is supposed to be perfect and and sweet and
00:31:31.387 --> 00:31:31.987
To be perfect and and sweet and imogene is anything but that
00:31:32.121 --> 00:31:34.690
Imogene is anything but that and when in the in the key

They're singing silent night like we have in churches for
00:31:39.028 --> 00:31:41.797
Like we have in churches for every christmas for decades and
00:31:41.931 --> 00:31:42.531
Every christmas for decades and that and it comes over her i
00:31:42.665 --> 00:31:46.135
That and it comes over her i might even cry right now
00:31:46.268 --> 00:31:46.769
Might even cry right now remembering it but it
00:31:46.902 --> 00:31:49.305
Remembering it but it overwhelms this character of
00:31:49.438 --> 00:31:50.005
Overwhelms this character of imogene and in turn impacts
00:31:50.139 --> 00:31:53.142
Imogene and in turn impacts everyone in the room the
00:31:53.275 --> 00:31:53.776
Everyone in the room the actress who played her i like i
00:31:53.909 --> 00:31:57.146
Actress who played her i like i don't know how a 12 year old
00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.880
Don't know how a 12 year old kid is going to pull this off.
00:31:58.013 --> 00:32:00.983
Kid is going to pull this off. this is such a unique moment
00:32:01.116 --> 00:32:01.784
This is such a unique moment and such a difficult thing to
00:32:01.917 --> 00:32:02.585
And such a difficult thing to play but when you see her in
00:32:02.718 --> 00:32:05.054
Play but when you see her in the in the movie the tears that
00:32:05.187 --> 00:32:08.524
The in the movie the tears that are streaming down her face are
00:32:08.657 --> 00:32:09.291
Are streaming down her face are real and that actress just
00:32:09.425 --> 00:32:09.959
Real and that actress just pulled it off every take and i
00:32:10.092 --> 00:32:12.895
Pulled it off every take and i remember filming it going i
00:32:13.028 --> 00:32:13.562
Remember filming it going i have envisioned this scene for
00:32:13.696 --> 00:32:16.398
Have envisioned this scene for so long and i have been so
00:32:16.532 --> 00:32:17.266
So long and i have been so desperate to try to capture it
00:32:17.399 --> 00:32:20.736
Desperate to try to capture it as well as it's written in the
00:32:20.869 --> 00:32:21.503
As well as it's written in the book because this is the moment
00:32:21.637 --> 00:32:22.271
Book because this is the moment when heaven meets earth and
00:32:22.404 --> 00:32:24.406
When heaven meets earth and when the whole meaning of the
00:32:24.540 --> 00:32:25.174
When the whole meaning of the movie and the whole meaning of
00:32:25.307 --> 00:32:25.908
Movie and the whole meaning of the christmas story hits
00:32:26.041 --> 00:32:26.542
The christmas story hits everybody.
00:32:26.675 --> 00:32:28.410
Everybody. i felt this pressure to pull it
00:32:28.577 --> 00:32:29.345
I felt this pressure to pull it off and it wouldn't have
00:32:29.478 --> 00:32:30.012
Off and it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for her
00:32:30.145 --> 00:32:32.314
Happened if it wasn't for her and when she nailed it.
00:32:32.448 --> 00:32:32.948
And when she nailed it. i remember being with my wife
00:32:33.082 --> 00:32:33.716
I remember being with my wife on the set and we both looked
00:32:33.849 --> 00:32:34.450
On the set and we both looked at going it happened, we did it
00:32:34.583 --> 00:32:36.252
At going it happened, we did it and she did it and it was just
00:32:36.385 --> 00:32:39.221
And she did it and it was just a really, really powerful
00:32:39.355 --> 00:32:39.888
A really, really powerful moment for me and i knew that
00:32:40.022 --> 00:32:43.158
Moment for me and i knew that i'm like all right, this
00:32:43.292 --> 00:32:43.826
I'm like all right, this movie's going to work.
00:32:43.959 --> 00:32:44.426
Movie's going to work. >> dallas that's an amazing
00:32:44.560 --> 00:32:45.127
>> dallas that's an amazing story especially after two
00:32:45.261 --> 00:32:47.129
Story especially after two decades of waiting to make this
00:32:47.263 --> 00:32:47.930
Decades of waiting to make this film and then you saw it come
00:32:48.063 --> 00:32:48.664
Film and then you saw it come before your eyes and it was
00:32:48.797 --> 00:32:50.299
Before your eyes and it was more special than you
00:32:50.432 --> 00:32:50.866
More special than you anticipated as you evolve as
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:54.203
Anticipated as you evolve as storyteller in your career,
00:32:54.336 --> 00:32:54.903
Storyteller in your career, what's becoming are things more
00:32:55.037 --> 00:32:58.407
What's becoming are things more important to you than maybe
00:32:58.540 --> 00:32:59.108
Important to you than maybe from a few years ago or are you
00:32:59.241 --> 00:33:00.109
From a few years ago or are you evolving in a new way?
00:33:00.242 --> 00:33:02.878
Evolving in a new way? >> oh yeah.
00:33:03.012 --> 00:33:03.312
>> oh yeah. i mean i remember for most of
00:33:03.445 --> 00:33:06.382
I mean i remember for most of my career my drug of choice was
00:33:06.515 --> 00:33:07.349
My career my drug of choice was affirmation.
00:33:07.483 --> 00:33:09.985
Affirmation. i sought legitimacy in
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:10.619
I sought legitimacy in hollywood.
00:33:10.753 --> 00:33:10.986
Hollywood. i saw legitimacy.
00:33:11.120 --> 00:33:13.589
I saw legitimacy. i wanted to, you know, have a
00:33:13.722 --> 00:33:14.456
I wanted to, you know, have a movie that was in the top of
00:33:14.590 --> 00:33:15.324
Movie that was in the top of the box office and you know,
00:33:15.457 --> 00:33:17.760
The box office and you know, several years ago i had a big
00:33:17.893 --> 00:33:18.727
Several years ago i had a big failure my career and i thought
00:33:18.861 --> 00:33:22.031
Failure my career and i thought i'll never make another movie
00:33:22.164 --> 00:33:22.731
I'll never make another movie again.
00:33:22.865 --> 00:33:23.032
Again. and that was when i truly and i
00:33:23.165 --> 00:33:25.134
And that was when i truly and i truly got to this place where i
00:33:25.267 --> 00:33:25.901
Truly got to this place where i was okay if i never another
00:33:26.035 --> 00:33:28.370
Was okay if i never another movie as long as i was in god's
00:33:28.504 --> 00:33:29.238
Movie as long as i was in god's will and when i truly
00:33:29.371 --> 00:33:29.972
Will and when i truly surrendered that that's when
00:33:30.105 --> 00:33:32.741
Surrendered that that's when the chosen came along and
00:33:32.875 --> 00:33:33.409
The chosen came along and that's when the best christmas
00:33:33.542 --> 00:33:34.143
That's when the best christmas pageant ever finally came back
00:33:34.276 --> 00:33:35.978
Pageant ever finally came back to me after all these years and
00:33:36.111 --> 00:33:36.745
To me after all these years and i think god was just waiting
00:33:36.879 --> 00:33:37.446
I think god was just waiting for me to truly and so i got to
00:33:37.579 --> 00:33:40.382
For me to truly and so i got to a place where affirmation only
00:33:40.516 --> 00:33:43.519
A place where affirmation only matters to me from god.
00:33:43.652 --> 00:33:44.186
Matters to me from god. i genuinely care about box
00:33:44.320 --> 00:33:48.157
I genuinely care about box office.
00:33:48.290 --> 00:33:48.490
Office. i don't care about avoiding
00:33:48.624 --> 00:33:49.191
I don't care about avoiding criticism or gaining praise and
00:33:49.325 --> 00:33:51.794
Criticism or gaining praise and i think that not only made a
00:33:51.927 --> 00:33:55.564
I think that not only made a better filmmaker ironically
00:33:55.698 --> 00:33:56.231
Better filmmaker ironically enough because i'm no longer
00:33:56.365 --> 00:33:56.932
Enough because i'm no longer trying to please people it just
00:33:57.066 --> 00:33:59.702
Trying to please people it just it also made me a better
00:33:59.835 --> 00:34:00.369
It also made me a better husband, a better father, a
00:34:00.502 --> 00:34:01.036
Husband, a better father, a better child of god and and so
00:34:01.170 --> 00:34:03.539
Better child of god and and so that that has certainly several
00:34:03.672 --> 00:34:06.909
That that has certainly several years caused me to get to a
00:34:07.042 --> 00:34:07.643
Years caused me to get to a place where when it comes to
00:34:07.776 --> 00:34:11.113
Place where when it comes to filmmaking, tv shows, movies.
00:34:11.246 --> 00:34:11.847
Filmmaking, tv shows, movies. i'm not going to take 8 to 10
00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:14.650
I'm not going to take 8 to 10 months out of a year devote
00:34:14.783 --> 00:34:15.351
Months out of a year devote myself to a project that
00:34:15.484 --> 00:34:17.853
Myself to a project that doesn't introduce people to
00:34:17.986 --> 00:34:18.554
Doesn't introduce people to christ in some way or even
00:34:18.687 --> 00:34:21.790
Christ in some way or even people who've already been
00:34:21.924 --> 00:34:22.458
People who've already been introduced to some deeper
00:34:22.591 --> 00:34:23.125
Introduced to some deeper understanding.
00:34:23.258 --> 00:34:25.994
Understanding. i feel like i'm wasting my time
00:34:26.128 --> 00:34:26.829
I feel like i'm wasting my time otherwise and so that's like
00:34:26.962 --> 00:34:27.563
Otherwise and so that's like the goal of my life is just to
00:34:27.696 --> 00:34:30.265
The goal of my life is just to somehow help people know and
00:34:30.399 --> 00:34:30.999
Somehow help people know and love jesus more and what this
00:34:31.133 --> 00:34:33.669
Love jesus more and what this movie does that's what the
00:34:33.802 --> 00:34:34.370
Movie does that's what the chosen does and that's what i
00:34:34.503 --> 00:34:35.104
Chosen does and that's what i hope to be doing for the of my
00:34:35.237 --> 00:34:37.239
Hope to be doing for the of my career.
00:34:37.373 --> 00:34:37.573
Career. >> okay last question best

00:34:38.407 --> 00:34:40.976
Christmas pageant ever is is going to become a family
00:34:41.110 --> 00:34:41.643
Going to become a family tradition.
00:34:41.777 --> 00:34:42.010
Tradition. what do you want people to take
00:34:42.144 --> 00:34:44.413
What do you want people to take away from this maybe those
00:34:44.546 --> 00:34:45.080
Away from this maybe those season believers and some who
00:34:45.214 --> 00:34:45.781
Season believers and some who are maybe new in their faith
00:34:45.914 --> 00:34:48.751
Are maybe new in their faith walk well for me it's you know
00:34:48.884 --> 00:34:49.718
Walk well for me it's you know the know the greatest story
00:34:49.852 --> 00:34:52.321
The know the greatest story ever told is when i god sent
00:34:52.454 --> 00:34:56.158
Ever told is when i god sent his son to earth and to become
00:34:56.291 --> 00:34:58.727
His son to earth and to become one of us emmanuel god with us.
00:34:58.861 --> 00:34:59.495
One of us emmanuel god with us. that's what that means when you
00:34:59.628 --> 00:35:03.031
That's what that means when you see the truth of that story
00:35:03.165 --> 00:35:06.702
See the truth of that story that he did not come is a i
00:35:06.835 --> 00:35:07.569
That he did not come is a i know this may sound cliche true
00:35:07.703 --> 00:35:10.439
Know this may sound cliche true he did not come as a conquering
00:35:10.572 --> 00:35:11.306
He did not come as a conquering king but as a humble servant
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:12.040
King but as a humble servant and that it's oftentimes seeing
00:35:12.174 --> 00:35:14.543
And that it's oftentimes seeing the story through the least of
00:35:14.676 --> 00:35:15.277
The story through the least of these through the through the
00:35:15.411 --> 00:35:18.414
These through the through the people that you don't normally
00:35:18.547 --> 00:35:19.148
People that you don't normally expect that they sometimes
00:35:19.281 --> 00:35:19.815
Expect that they sometimes might actually have a deeper
00:35:19.948 --> 00:35:22.284
Might actually have a deeper understanding of of why jesus
00:35:22.418 --> 00:35:25.320
Understanding of of why jesus and who he was then those of us
00:35:25.454 --> 00:35:26.388
And who he was then those of us who've been familiar with the
00:35:26.522 --> 00:35:27.122
Who've been familiar with the story ever could and a lot of
00:35:27.256 --> 00:35:29.591
Story ever could and a lot of times it's these these children
00:35:29.725 --> 00:35:32.928
Times it's these these children and people who are closer to
00:35:33.061 --> 00:35:33.796
And people who are closer to poverty, closer to struggle
00:35:33.929 --> 00:35:37.433
Poverty, closer to struggle that that makes them actually
00:35:37.566 --> 00:35:38.167
That that makes them actually closer to the heart of god and
00:35:38.300 --> 00:35:42.004
Closer to the heart of god and the heart of jesus when he was
00:35:42.137 --> 00:35:42.771
The heart of jesus when he was here on earth something that we
00:35:42.905 --> 00:35:45.207
Here on earth something that we sometimes forget.
00:35:45.340 --> 00:35:45.707
Sometimes forget. and so yes, christmas is my
