On this episode we talk about an invitation one of us received to a Christmas Party being called, in a joking manner, "A Super Spreader Extravaganza". We use this as a springboard to discuss the larger topic of the attitude a growing number of people hold that they are simply over the "Whole Corona Thing" and just how dangerous this thinking is. We also talk about the GHP's second favorite evangelical preacher, Andy Stanley's recent article in The Atlantic and how Pastor Rick Wiles thinks it's open hunting season on "Lefties".
