S6 E15: Christmas: The Man and the Birds | A Timeless Christmas Story


Listen Free: | Apple Podcasts | Castbox | Pandora


Every Christmas, a short story makes its return—one without a known author, but with a lasting impact. The Man and the Birds was famously shared each holiday season by Paul Harvey on the radio, and for years, it’s become an annual tradition on 7 Minute Stories.

In this special holiday episode, Aaron revisits the quiet, timeless parable about belief, humility, and what it means to truly see one another. Recorded live during Night Stories Live! this retelling invites listeners to slow down, listen closely, and carry a simple truth with them into Christmas.

A story passed hand to hand, voice to voice—now shared once again.
