This week’s podcast takes a detour from our usual leadership topics.&nbsp; A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction. For example, Pepsin is an enzyme that acts as a digestive catalyst, speeding up the digestion of meat. We are also familiar with the use of catalyst to refer to a person that causes change or action.

That catalyst is Jesus Christ.&nbsp; Reading from the Gospel of Matthew, I explore how the birth of Christ impacted the lives of the Magi, King Herod and Joseph, the husband of Mary.&nbsp; Here are the highlights: 0:00 Introduction &nbsp; &nbsp; 1:13 What is a catalyst? &nbsp; 2:14 The threefold nature of the catalyst &nbsp; 3:35 The response to the catalyst &nbsp; 3:53 The response of the wise men &nbsp; 5:58 The response of King Herod &nbsp; 9:37 The response of Joseph &nbsp; 13:13 How will you respond to this catalyst? &nbsp; Resources: &nbsp; Passage to Read: Matthew 1:18 - Matthew 2:23 &nbsp; YouVersion Bible App: https://www.youversion.com/the-bible-app/ &nbsp; Have a terrific Holiday Season with your family and friends, and thank you for tuning in!
