Scholars and skeptics have pointed out several “problems” in Luke's account of Jesus' birth. This week we will dive into these problems. Indeed, there are a few historical points that even make Christian scholars think and have to dig into the history more. However, these "problems" in Luke do not give us cause for concern once studied. Instead, they're an opportunity to learn and do more research into the time of Jesus’ birth. When we do so, we see there is no reason to seriously doubt Luke's account.

Issues discussed from Luke 2:1-5:

The timing of the census

The timing of Quirinius' governorship

The need for pregnant Mary to return to Bethlehem for the census at all

This week Leah and Andrew discuss the movie Hocus Pocus 2. We share what we liked and disliked about the movie. Then we look at how the puritans are popularly conveyed versus what the scripture exemplifies in the lives of the apostles. We learn how to discern if a movie like this is appropriate for you and your family to watch. In the end, we’ll see that God is bigger than witchcraft, and that our job as Christians is to focus on what God is doing.

Is Yahweh a terrible god like those from the movie Thor: Love and Thunder? This week Leah and Andrew explore how our God is different from those gods. We explore a passage from Joshua 6 to consider how we can think through God's destruction in the Old Testament. Lastly, we explore why we can believe our God is real even though the gods on the council from the movie are not.

Scientists and theologians alike have ideas about what the Genesis 1 creation story is supposed to teach, how to interacts with the knowledge of modern science, and its relevance or irrelevance to us today. In John Walton's book The Lost World of Adam and Eve we get a clearer picture of what the Genesis 1 Creation story was supposed to communicate to the early readers and what it means for us today. We discuss this book and see what Ancient Near Eastern context can teach us about this creation story.

Life is full of scary things. Moral decline, warfare, and these gas prices! In this episode Leah and Andrew reflect on Veggie Tales episode “Where is God When I'm S-Scared?” We learn how God's not only bigger than the boogie man, but that God is still sovereign even over the scary things we face as adults. No matter your age, God is still present with you in each moment

This week Leah and Andrew interview Janell Wood of the Finding Something Real Podcast. Janell defines evangelism and talks about why evangelism is important. Janell shares about her experience hosting exchange students and gives practical advice for sharing your faith with others. If you’re uncertain about sharing your faith, this episode is for you!

Janell Wood is a writer, speaker, high school foreign exchange coordinator, and host of the 'Finding Something REAL' podcast- a grace-filled journey for faith seekers and believers needing encouragement. She loves to have honest, imperfect, conversations about faith and Jesus Christ. She has a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology, and a background in advocacy and ministry. She lives in Eastern Washington with her husband (the kindest man she knows), four kids, and (often) a teenage exchange daughter. In her free time, she can be found watching vintage television with her family and avoiding the kitchen.
