In this abbreviated episode of "Let's FACE It!" we share our true feelings of Star Wars "The Last Jedi"(NO SPOILERS). James also further clarifies a few statements from his message this past weekend like "How come all the smart people aren't all Christians?"

It's a great discussion on going the extra distance to find Jesus and how ALL of us can learn to understand and defend our faith even before the "smartest" among us.

In this caffeine infused episode we cover a host of topics including;

- A Christmas carol rant by both Sterling AND James

- NEW APP FEATURE - Access to YouVersion is now available on the FAC Experience App under the Bible Tab
- Pastor James does his best Scottish impression while discussing the digestion process(he's almost got it down!)

AND everyone(minus Heather) talks about the childlike anticipation of opening weekend for "Star Wars - The Last Jedi"!

This week we celebrate?? the birth of Christian Soap Operas and also(maybe not surprisingly) address the slippery slope of apostasy within the North American Church.
