The ones who've seen the darkest nights know best just how much even the tiniest flicker of hope can light that night. This Christmas, let the shepherds be the wise ones as we point our friends, neighbors and coworkers to the Light that never goes out.

It's the world-weary, street-savvy, been-there-done-that hard-times Christian whom God picked to star as shepherds in this year's Christmas story. You have news and experience people of privilege often lack, and suddenly they need you more than they know.
Why?
Because you've lived through life's storms and come out the other side. Living paycheck to paycheck, you've been in the storm so many middle class and upper middle class co-workers now face, and you know there's life after the storm. The wisest of you even know there's life in the storm.
