On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (12/20/24), Hank continues his special series leading up to Christmas Day featuring his acronym CHRISTMAS.

As the Apostle Paul put it in a letter to the Corinthian Christians, “if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless” (1 Corinthians 15:17 NLT).
