Flattering Your Kids | Stories Are Soul Food Episode 171
Nate and Brian discuss flattering your kids versus telling them the truth, what would happen if we stopped giving gifts on Christmas (it would be really really really horrible), and touch on some Christmas movie classics.
[PODCAST] The Birthday That Changed the History of the World with Bill F...
Why is December 25th celebrated as the birth of Jesus? Was it a date chosen to overshadow pagan festivals like Saturnalia or Sol Invictus, or does it have deeper Christian roots? While the Bible doesn’t provide a specific birthdate for Christ, it may offer more clues than you think!
Just in time for the holiday season, historian and author Bill Federer returns to unpack the fascinating origins of the Christmas story and its rich Christian heritage. One of our most popular topics, this episode dives deeper into the history, theology, and traditions surrounding the incarnation of Christ—a moment that forever changed the course of human history. Join Frank and Bill as they explore questions like:
-- How do the Dead Sea Scrolls provide evidence for Jesus' actual birthday?
-- Why do some Christians celebrate Christmas on Jan. 6th?
-- When did Christians start celebrating Dec. 25th as the birthday of Jesus?
-- What is one of the most overlooked pro-life passages in the Bible?
-- What's the story of King Herod and was he really capable of being a baby killer?
-- Why was there strife between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and how did Rome get involved in Jewish politics?
-- How many wise men brought gifts to Jesus and when did they visit Him?
-- Why are the Old Testament prophecies about Jesus so vague?
-- What's the origin of the "12 days of Christmas"?
-- How does the history of the entire world center on the birth of Christ?

Dallas Jenkins of "The Chosen" Responds to Criticism Over His Judas Scene
A recent scene in "The Chosen" showed Jesus telling Judas that He once had Judas's heart, and that He would pray for Judas—two things Jesus never said. Creator Dallas Jenkins didn't like that criticism so much, so he issued a response that was, well, inconsistent.

How to Read at Different Levels | Dr. Andy Naselli | NSA Disputatio 2024...
In this Disputatio address, Andy Naselli inspires the NSA student body and faculty to embrace reading as a transformative pursuit. Naselli dismantles the notion of becoming a mere hoarder of knowledge who gorges on information. Instead, he calls for a deeper vision: becoming the kind of reader who is fully human, informed by truth, and alive to the wisdom of the ages.
Reading, Naselli argues, is not just about knowledge—it’s about building character, competence, and humanity in every area of life. Learn how to read a book, and in doing so, learn how to live.
