Join us for a very special Christmas episode of I Love to Tell the Story.  Because Christmas is best celebrated with family, we wanted to invite you into ours. Dusty and his wife, LaVonne—along with their daughters and grandkids—join Dave and Cindi and their kids for a meaningful time together, filled with stories, laughter, music, and even a special announcement.  We’re also joined by a recent guest on the podcast, Jimmy Fortune. After living next door to Dave for more than 20 years, Jimmy has truly become family, and we’re grateful to share this celebration with him. These are the moments that linger long after the season ends—the voices, the joy, and the memories made around the table.  At its heart, Christmas is a story of hope, love, and God drawing near—a reminder that we are never alone. In the midst of the season’s busyness, we invite you to slow down and join us for an I Love to Tell the Story family Christmas.Video of this episode can be found on our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@ILove2TelltheStory-xd9fg For more stories like this, visit us at www.ILove2TelltheStory.com
