Christmas Special, Part 2: A Story of Peace and Hope with Dan Hurst

Show Notes

Merry Christmas from the Revitalize and Replant podcast. In part 2 of our Christmas Special, Dan Hurst shares a personal and powerful Christmas story from his childhood as a missionary kid in Honduras, reflecting on what Christmas looks like in the midst of uncertainty, hardship, and fear.

Set during a season of political unrest and darkness, this story centers on a simple, candlelit children’s Christmas program in a small church with no electricity—and a child’s quiet declaration: “This year for Christmas, I need peace.” That moment became a lasting reminder that Christmas is not about what we want, but about what we need—and that true peace and hope are found in Christ alone.

Whether you are listening as a pastor, a church planter, or with your family during the Christmas season, we pray this story encourages your heart and points you to the lasting peace that only Jesus can provide.
