This week, Pastor Rob and Tim sit down to unpack Week 2 of our Christmas series, Songs of the Season, with a message built around one simple truth, you were made to shine.

If you’ve ever felt like the misfit, the odd one out, or the person who doesn’t quite fit the mold, this episode is for you. We talk Rudolph, real struggles, biblical callings, and why God often uses the very things we try to hide.

Inside this conversation

• Why God never makes mistakes when He creates someone

• How your “red nose” might actually be your calling

• Moses, Jeremiah, Mary, Gideon, David, and what they teach us about feeling unqualified

• How the enemy uses shame and old labels to hold us back

• Trading sorrow for joy and fear for confidence (Psalm 30)

• Why God’s timing is always right, even when it feels slow

• How Robert May’s real-life heartbreak shaped Rudolph and ended up redeeming his story

• Encouragement for anyone who feels overlooked or forgotten
