Incarnation

What if Christmas didn't end on 25 December? What if the miracle of Emmanuel: ‘God with us’ wasn't limited to nativity scenes, candlelit carols, and festive services but entered every ordinary corner of your life?

"God with us: 12 ways for 12 days" is a free devotional that carries the wonder of the Incarnation from Christmas Day through to Epiphany: 25 December to 5 January. In twelve daily reflections, I try to show how the word made flesh sanctifies the everyday: your first coffee, your interactions, your laughter, your exhaustion, and even your sleep.

This isn't about adding on more spiritual practices. It's an invitation to see that your actual life – messy, beautiful, ordinary… is already full of divine possibility. The manger proves God never recoils from our chaos; He moved into it permanently. Your weakness isn't a barrier to Jesus; it's the very place He still chooses as home. Your work echoes the Carpenter King. Your rest defies the cult of endless productivity. Even closing your eyes at night can become a quiet rehearsal for resurrection.

Each day's reflection is grounded in scripture, enriched by voices from across church history, and brought home with application for the whole life. Each of the twelve entries includes: • Three takeaways that quietly reframe how you see your day • Two searching questions that uncover where there’s more grace for your world, and one simple, concrete action to embody the truth that day.

Expect surprises: standing still for ten seconds before reaching for your phone, eating breakfast slowly while aware you're being loved back to life, doing one hidden kindness no one will thank you for, or whispering "You are here" with every step you take.

If you've ever felt the jarring gap between Sunday life and the rest of the week and if you're tired of a faith that hovers above your actual life, and if you long for a Christian faith as embodied as the God who put on skin, these twelve ways in twelve days may help.

Download "God with us: 12 ways for 12 days" and let the beauty of the incarnation reshape your ordinary into something quietly extraordinary. Because Emmanuel isn't just a seasonal greeting. It's the daily revolution.

God is with us. Still. Always. Here.
