Christmas Roundtable

I was asked to be part of Jeremiah Campana’s podcast Anatomy Of The Church And State and Steve Hinton.

Just a nice Christmas talk about family traditions, what Christmas means to you, lying to kids about Santa, and a discussion on Die Hard not being a Christmas movie and how George Bailey is the villain in It’s A Wonderful Life. In all seriousness, this was a delightful chat with some brothers-in-Christ.

Also a plug for Katie & David Roome’s newest Christmas anthology, Periapsis Christmas 2!

From the YouTube video description:

Join us in this Christmas special episode! We discuss our personal experiences and perspectives on Christmas. Patrick and Steve and myself share what Christmas means to us and how our traditions have evolved over the years. We talk church services, Die Hard, and reflect on the changing atmosphere of Christmas and the significance of the coming of the birth of Jesus. We explore the importance of stories, the impact of secularism on Christmas, the meaning of Merry Christmas, and more!
