Rev. Brian Hamer, active duty Navy Chaplain and author of the Lifted Voice column in Around the Word: Theology for the Curious Christian, joins Andy and Sarah to talk about Luther’s first Christmas hymn, “We Praise You, Jesus, at Your Birth” (Lutheran Service Book 382), including Martin Luther as a hymn writer, Luther’s theology of music, how this hymn describes Christ’s incarnation, and how our sung confession is incarnational, not “attractional.”
