Christmas, and how it is celebrated, can be surprisingly controversial, even among Christians! In this episode, we talk about some principles for you and your spouse to think through when it comes to deciding how to intentionally celebrate Christmas with your family. We also talk about how we have decided to celebrate Christmas as the Sibley fam. The point of this episode is to just initiate a conversation about it and to show how we think about this so you can have a convo with your spouse.

Today we sit down with the first-ever guest of the One Degree podcast, the incredible Missie Branch.

In this episode, we discuss what social justice is and what does it have to do with the biblical concept of justice? How should believers interact with and enact social justice? What about when these issues are also part of heated political debates?

Missie Branch serves as Assistant Dean of Students to Women and Director of Graduate Life at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in NC. She is also currently a student there completing her graduate degree in Ethics, Theology, and Culture. Missie is married to Duce Branch and together they have four children. Missie is a contributing author to The Whole Woman: Ministering to Her Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength and the co-host of the Women & Work Podcast. Currently, Missie serves as the Chair of the Board of Trustees at Lifeway Christian Resources. Also, on a more personal note, Nathaniel had the immense privilege of being a co-worker of hers for four years while in North Carolina!

This episode is all about something that we tend to think is not a big deal or something we don't give much second thought to–what we read, watch, and listen to.

Why should we be aware of what we read, watch, and listen to? How can those things affect us?

We talk about our personal experiences with media consumption and struggles, and what the Bible says about what we read, watch, and listen to. We close with six general principles for media consumption and evaluation through a gospel-centered perspective.

Why is online church so popular now? Is it okay to just watch the sermon from my couch on Sunday mornings? What is the purpose of the church?

We dive into all these questions in this episode!

To clarify before we begin, there are two different ways to talk about the church- the Big C church, and the little c church. The Church is the entire body of Christ- all born-again believers across the world. They make up the global church. The church is the local gathering of believers. To clarify- we're talking about the "little c" church in this episode.

This episode is part two of a mini-series on Gender Roles in Marriage! Last week, in Episode No. 24, we talked about what the Bible actually says about the role of wives in marriage. This week, it's all about the husbands.

Like we said last week, please don't dismiss what we have to say, give it some thought and prayer, and examine what we say against the Bible, and see for yourself if what we are saying is accurate and true.

What does Scripture have to say about husbands and the role of men in marriage? To be clear, we're specifically talking about husbands and wives, not gender roles in general for men and women.

We're going to do a mini two-week series on Gender Roles in Marriage, and this week, we're starting with wives.

Right off the bat, please don't dismiss what we have to say, give it some thought and prayer, and examine what we say against the Bible, and see for yourself if what we are saying is accurate and true.

Today we're sitting down to chat all things biblical parenting. We'll answer questions about:

• What is the goal of biblical parenting?
• Can I guarantee that my children will be believers?
• How can I disciple my children?
• Can I be friends with my kids?

Before we dive in, we want to give a little caveat. We're only 3 years into parenting, so we're humbly recognizing our limitations in perspective, experience, and wisdom in parenting. But we're able to look to Scripture for wisdom, so the Bible is what we're relying on here.
