Avoiding the Post-Christmas Letdown
Episode 184
“We worship a God not only that came near, but a God who stays near, who is with us. Even as Christmas ends, Immanuel, God is still with us.” - Matthew West
On today’s episode of The Matthew West podcast, I’m going to be talking about new music, some of my favorite Christmas movies, and some encouragement for the post-Christmas blues you might feel as you take down the stockings and tree. I hope you will be reminded of the true reason for the season and the hope that we have… even after Christmas is over, the light of the world is still here!

Listen to Matthew’s new Christmas song, “Because of Bethlehem.” This song was inspired by a book written by one of Matthew’s favorite authors, Max Lucado. It’s because of Bethlehem and the birth of a savior that we can experience joy, love, peace, and even the hope of eternity.
