Next week, byFaith is launching a weeklong series of articles to celebrate the role of Mary in the birth of Christ. This series aims to explore the Scripture and celebrate the woman who holds a unique spot in the history of redemption.

Next week, byFaith is launching a weeklong series of articles focused on mealtime theology. We hope this series will remind readers of God’s goodness in every meal and encourage us to feed upon the Bread of Life who came to give life to the world (John 6:33).
