Show Notes
In this annual Christmas episode of That Don’t Sound Right, hosts Peter and Cecil take a curious and thoughtful look at the Christmas story—and the parts that, at first glance, just don’t sound right.
From centuries-old prophecies foretelling Jesus’ birth to the surprising fulfillment of promises through a humble baby, the hosts explore key Old Testament references including the Davidic lineage, Isaiah’s prophecy of a virgin birth and “Emmanuel,” the powerful titles of Isaiah 9, and the foreshadowing found in Psalm 69. They also discuss the statistical improbability of Jesus fulfilling 48 messianic prophecies, as highlighted in Lee Strobel’s work.
The conversation kicks off with a lighthearted Wheel Horse anecdote before settling into the show’s signature blend of humor, curiosity, and reflection—shared openly from a believer’s perspective. As always, this special Christmas episode is short, conversational, and designed to invite listeners into the discussion, whether they’re longtime believers, skeptics, or simply curious about the story behind the season.
