Questions You Never Thought You Could Ask in Church

18: What is Christmas? Part 1: Advent, Sol Invictus and Herod was a Nut-Job

News Flash… Jesus wasn’t born on Christmas! No seriously, he wasn’t.

In this special Christmas episode we discuss the season before Christmas called Advent. What is it, and why is it important? We also hit a bit of church history, how and why Christmas is celebrated when it is, who the Wise men really were, and where the heck is “Orient R?”
