The Hower Hour

Mary Did You Know?

It amuses me every year at this time to see posts and sermons by pastors and theologians who mock the the song, "Mary Did You Know?" as silly and childish.  What did Mary know, and comprehend? The reality of God becoming man still amazes and baffles the greatest Biblical scholars. Mary pondered these events in her heart, and we do well to follow her example.  This episode of THE HOWER HOUR explores that incarnation of Jesus and how it amazed Mary and baffled the Lord's own disciples. THE HOWER HOUR is broadcast every Sunday at 9am and 6pm CST over the airwaves of Real Talk 93.3fm, The Voice of Freedom in the greater St. Louis region.  Find past episodes on the station's archive or Youtube.com or at podbean.com, where you will also find show titles and brief summaries.
