The Lesser Characters of Christmas

We know all about Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus. But what of the lesser characters of Christmas like Elizabeth, the mother of John, and Elizabeth’s doubting husband, Zechariah. Or what about Anna, the prophetess, and Simeon—both of whom were supernaturally appointed to meet the infant King at the temple? These lesser-known characters have powerful stories that we can all learn from.

We’ll meet them up close in The Lesser Characters of Christmas, a documentary with engaging drama vignettes and interviews from Israel.

Length: 54-minute continuous broadcast with no breaks (55-minutes with one minute of barter spot(s))

Most of what you’ll hear in this special was recorded in Israel. This special includes compelling conversations, powerful Scripture, and dramatic vignettes, along with location-based sound effects.

Where Love Is

Where Love Is was originally produced by Moody Broadcasting Network for the Proclaim broadcast in 2000 and is a dramatic radio adaptation of the short story originally published in 1885 by Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It tells the story of a shoemaker named Martin who lost his son and remained a bitter man until a missionary compels him to live his life for God.
