Christmas is all about Jesus. He was the baby born to live, die and rise again for us all. He raises us with him, sharing his life with us, and will come back for us one day. Sometimes the best presents are the ones you give yourself.

Adrian talks with John Stevens, a leading UK christian. We spoke about servant leadership, a phrase used by Sir Keir Starmer but which ought to be deeply rooted in Church leadership. The mature Christian or pastor ought not to be remote, strong, entrepreneurial and untouchable but rather someone who knows what it is to have human weaknesses and go through human sufferings, and yet to find Christ in the midst. If you are a pastor or church member who is struggling with feeling you are failing to meet the expectations you have put on yourself this discussion will serve you well.
