As American culture drifts away from its founding ideals, the simplicity and beauty of the Christmas story may be the answer. Host Casey Harper is joined by author and cultural commentator Os Guinness for a reflection on the modern-day Christmas story and American culture. Living in a cut flower civilization, the two discuss America’s identity crisis, what the Christmas story offers to a modern world, and how this time of year is actually the foundation of equality and freedom.

Strategy is choosing what you're for and what you're not for. It's defining the game you're playing and how you intend to win it. And if you can't explain it simply, you haven't done the work.

One customer. One offering. One advantage. A crisp and clear strategy.

On this episode of CrossPolitic One-on-One, Gabe welcomes on Dr. Jared Moore, pastor and author, to talk about the issue of sexual lust and why it represents a fundamental affections problem that requires believers to fall more deeply in love with God's character and design.

C.S. Lewis came to faith once he realized that the Gospel was both myth, appealing to his heart, and fact, appealing to his mind. The Pugs discuss what he meant by myth and apply the idea to the Christmas story—how it embodies archetypes found in myth and legend throughout history.

Business owners are generally optimists. That's why they're business owners. They have hope for a better future. And, that optimism many times is naive and simple. It can keep business owners continually walking the tight rope sitting atop an elephant.

They spend what they make. They operate on thin margins. They assume the good times will continue indefinitely. And when they don't - when the market shifts, when a major customer leaves, when an economic downturn hits - they feel the hurt. But they act as if it was out of their control.

The issue isn't that winter came. Winter always comes. The issue is that they didn't prepare for it.
