About this episode
This Christmas on Breaking Battlegrounds, we celebrate the history, meaning, and enduring spirit of the season with two beloved guests. First, nationally known speaker, best-selling author, and Amerisearch president William Federer returns to take listeners on a fascinating journey through the true history of Christmas, exploring the real story of Saint Nicholas, the origins of beloved holiday traditions, and pivotal moments when Christmas shaped American history, from Valley Forge to the post–World War II era. Then, #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Paul Evans joins the show to discuss his newest novel, The Christmas Stranger, a moving story of grief, redemption, and unexpected hope that reminds us how connection and compassion can transform even the darkest moments. Together, these conversations offer a thoughtful and heartwarming look at why Christmas continues to matter across generations, faiths, and cultures.
