New Testament professor, award-winning author, and New York Times columnist Esau McCaulley joins Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn for a special year-end episode with a live studio audience. They review what happened in 2023 and offer their picks for the most important news stories of the year. Topics range from Tim Keller’s passing, the navel-gazing of American evangelicalism, and the comfort of Cracker Barrel biscuits. They offer predictions for 2024. Esau joins the audience to play three hilarious rounds of “Bluff the Listener.” And, a 57-year-old woman experiences an “adverse event” in an MRI machine.   Holy Post Plus Hear the full version of “The Rise and Fall of Plinky Pete” https://www.patreon.com/posts/95343878   0:00 - Sponsor - Calvin University Register for the January Series at Calvin University today at www.calvin.edu/january-series   1:06 - Intro   2:02 - Theme Song   2:24 - Show Starts   3:30 - News of the Butt   8:40 - Welcome Esau!   11:40 - Phil’s story of 2023   24:16 - Kaitlyn’s story of 2023   37:20 - Skye’s story of 2023   49:50 - Esau’s story of 2023   1:02:36 - 2024 predictions   1:10:35 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to www.hiyahealth.com/HOLYPOST to receive 50% off your first order   1:11:43 - Sponsor - AG1 - Get your FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase, go to www.athleticgreens.com/HOLYPOST   1:13:16 - Bluff the Listener   1:33:12 - End Credits Links mentioned in news segment:   Why a bucolic Tennessee suburb is a hotbed of ‘Christian Nashville-ism’ https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2023/11/08/nashville-suburbs-christian-nationalism/   The Rev.
