Today the cast gathers around the podcast table to catch up on Christmas happenings at FAC and also to continue the powerful and necessary discussion of our current sermon series "Let's Talk About Sex". We discuss some of the reasons we're afraid to talk about sex in Church and share some encouraging challenges as we anticipate the rest of the series. An engaging conversation that remains PG throughout and without any JR High giggles!!

Episode 46 is a special Christmas show featuring the staff of FAC as they stop by the podcast during the Staff Christmas party to introduce themselves by their Elf names and share some Christmas wishes. Pastor "Flirty Twinkle-toes" even makes an appearance to wish all a Merry Christmas. See you Christmas Eve 12, 2, 4, 6 & 11pm!
