Pop-Up Catechesis: The Lessons of the Magi at Epiphany

Pop-Up Catechesis with Joe Paprocki

As we look forward to the Feast of the Epiphany, it’s important to realize that this is much more than a sentimental Christmas story for children, and its message isn’t limited to the notion that Jesus, the Savior, is revealed to the whole world, as critical as that point is. In this story, we also find a model for discipleship in the Magi (aka, the Three Wise Men or Three Kings). In this episode of Pop-Up Catechesis, we explore six things the Magi teach us about a life of discipleship (following Jesus).
