Hey, Neighbor, do you have any idea what Yuletide is?  Never mind...
Luke has been tinkering with John's new (used) car. Isn't it GREAT to have family members who can help you with skills you don't have yourself?! 

THEN: Showing John's video might have gotten a teacher fired... Kids need to be taught not to overreact and how to hold their bodies in a less-awkward way when they're on stage.  (We list several other odd human behaviors, which maybe aren't so odd after all...)

LATER:  Some people don't have family because they have purposefully cut ties with everyone.  We talk about why that's sad.  Teach your kids to stay connected with their family!

Every new initiative costs more than money. It costs focus, clarity, energy. And those are finite.

The math might work, but that doesn't mean you should do it. Strategy isn't just about what you pursue. It's about what you're willing to walk away from.

Don't fall prey to the dilution delusion.

Today's episode takes another long look at the life and times of Jimmy Lai, Hong Kong's most famous pro-democracy advocate, who is facing life in prison by the Chinese regime that he dared to criticize. 

(Also, the UK get's critiqued for not only doing nothing for Jimmy Lai, but instigating on British soil similar attacks against free speech!)

We also take a deep look at a couple of spiritually needy areas in China, the special administrative regions of Tibet and Inner Mongolia, respectively.

Hong Kong Mogul Jimmy Lai Convicted by Pro-CCP Kangaroo Court

Last year's Jimmy Lai episode: https://pubtv.flfnetwork.com/tabs/audio/podcasts/30293/episodes/49

Hong Kong media tycoon and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai was convicted in a landmark trial seen by critics as a symbol of the financial hub's deteriorating freedoms. Found guilty of colluding with foreign forces under the National Security Law that China imposed on Hong Kong in 2020, and of publishing seditious materials through his now-defunct newspaper Apple Daily, Lai denied all charges, and faces the possibility of a life sentence. Now, Britain should be ashamed for doing nothing to stand up for one of its own citizens being bullied by Beijing.

In a recent article by pastor and author Kevin DeYoung of the PCA, Kevin poses six key questions for the Christian Nationalists movement. Pastors Josh Howard, James Baird, and John St.Martin offer a response.

Today David explains how the thoughts of Puritan John Owen in his monumental work, Christologia, completely re-ordered his thinking about law and legal and public policy advocacy in recent years, and how those thoughts relate to the God’s creational intention for every Christian in the present. Creation, the image of God, Sin, and the “ordered liberty” of  government that rests on the child in the manger all come together in one glorious scriptural truth about Christ's mediation in this final advent edition.

In this episode, we sit down with the purest of intentions and immediately derail into absolutely everything. We start by catching up on our week, which somehow includes community theater, a Christmas carol, and the realization that small-town productions carry higher emotional stakes than most blockbuster movies. From there, we naturally move into a very serious and completely authoritative discussion about orcs, goblins, and why fantasy creatures seem to have better branding than actual humans. Christmas movies also come under fire, especially the question no one wants to ask out loud: what exactly were the stakes in Home Alone, and why did an entire generation decide booby traps were a reasonable life skill?

Somewhere between confessing our household maintenance failures and acknowledging projects that will never be finished, we introduce “the brick,” a digital detox tool designed to help us stop staring at our phones like they personally wronged us. That opens the door to a broader conversation about distractions, modern communication, and why texting feels emotionally hollow unless it’s padded with an irresponsible number of exclamation points.

Naturally, this all slides into conspiracy territory. We explore the mysterious Tartarian civilization, debate the moon landing with just enough confidence to be alarming, and talk about how AI is quietly shaping what we believe, what we doubt, and what keeps showing up in everyone’s feed. Accents and cultural stereotypes make an appearance too, not because we planned it, but because they tend to sneak into conversations whether invited or not.

By the end, we’ve questioned reality, Christmas, technology, history, and whether or not it's reasonable to use a single emoji as a response to every situation.

In this Advent episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot, Dr. Michael Thiessen, and Pastor Nate Wright continue their discussion of Think Christianly by examining why the divinity of Jesus Christ is essential to the Christian faith and the gospel itself.

Drawing on John 1, the early church fathers, and the historic battles against heresies such as Gnosticism and Arianism, the hosts explain why Christ must be fully God and fully man to accomplish salvation. They explore the significance of the incarnation, the Council of Nicaea, and why reducing Jesus to a moral teacher undermines Scripture, creation, and redemption.

This episode calls Christians to recover both the awe and the doctrinal clarity needed to confess Christ as the eternal Word made flesh—God with us, for our salvation.
