What do the names of Jesus actually tell us about who He is—and why does that matter at Christmas?

In this episode of The Weekly, Jay Ewing is joined by Thomas to reflect on Advent, Isaiah 9:6, and the powerful titles given to Jesus: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Together, they explore how these names shape our understanding of Jesus, reframe the Christmas story, and call us to live prepared for His return.

From the surprising meaning of “Everlasting Father,” to the hope of belonging to a new family of everlasting life, this conversation invites listeners to slow down, look deeper, and allow Advent to reorient their hearts—not just toward the first coming of Christ, but toward the second as well.

Whether you’re walking through the Advent season intentionally or simply longing for hope and clarity, this episode offers rich Scripture, thoughtful theology, and pastoral encouragement.
