Is the Christmas story fact or tradition?

In this Christmas episode of God-Sized Stories, Patricia Holbrook sits down with bestselling author and former legal journalist Lee Strobel to discuss his latest book, The Case for Christmas. Strobel—best known for The Case for Christ—brings his investigative mindset to the nativity story, examining whether the birth of Jesus stands up to historical scrutiny.

In this conversation, Lee Strobel discusses:

The historical reliability of the Gospel accounts

Archaeological evidence supporting the Christmas narrative

The virgin birth and early eyewitness testimony

Messianic prophecies fulfilled in Jesus

Why the identity of the baby in the manger still matters today

Strobel explains why he believes Christmas is more than a sentimental story—and how evidence led him from skepticism to faith.

This episode invites listeners to consider a question at the heart of the season: Who was the baby in the manger?
