The first annual Christmas episode of the Misfit Faith podcast begins with a brief meditation on the claim of many to be "spiritual but not religious." I chat with author and speaker Mark Shea about what a truly earthly-minded religiosity might look like, after which I answer a listener's question about why Mary is apparently such a big deal. I read an excerpt from my forthcoming devotional, Our Daily Dread, and then end the show with a rant about the so-called "War on Christmas."
