This Is NOT a Christmas Story: The First Time I Prayed | 12 Days of Christmas Ep 8
This is not a Christmas story.
This is a story about perspective.
About how the same moment can mean everything to one person—and almost nothing to another.
Over the next twelve episodes on Together 4 Good, we’re sharing real stories that remind us we don’t all experience joy, meaning, or even God in the same way.
This is not a Christmas story.
But it is a real one.
In this episode, Sophie shares a childhood memory from summer camp—trapped on a bus in the middle of a terrifying Colorado thunderstorm.
With hail pounding the roof, visibility gone, and fear rising, Sophie prayed—earnestly, desperately—for the storm to stop.
Moments later, it did. This story is about fear, trust, and the kind of prayer that forms faith long before we know how to explain it.
