Is Christmas actually a pagan holiday? In this episode, the crew tackles one of the most common December debates and goes deep on Christmas history, December 25th, pagan festivals, Christmas trees, and what the Bible actually says. Along the way, things spiral into Home Alone theology, Mandela effects, and why meaning matters more than origin. Celebrate Christmas with confidence, clarity, and a lot of laughs.

December gets loud fast. Christmas pressure is real, but the first Christmas was anything but calm. In Matthew 1, we see how Jesus brings peace with God and peace right here in the middle of life. Peace is not a destination. Peace is a Person, and His name is Jesus.

What if the most wonderful time of the year is actually the most dramatic? In Episode 111 we ask why December feels so loud, so full, and still so sacred, and how God meets us right in the middle of it.

Comedy nerves, Christmas debates, and a deep dive into the big one: Do Christians have to tithe? Episode 110 brings laughs, clarity, and a better way to think about generosity.

Matt Johnson is an ultra endurance athlete, US Army veteran, fitness coach, and the fastest man to run across Texas. In this Thanksgiving Special, Matt and the squad dive into gratitude, getting pied, more running, and the best turkey we ever had. Happy Thanksgiving Afterthinkers!

From fear to freedom and from scarcity to trust. Doug shows how giving reshapes us long before it funds anything. This message is about letting God have our first and best so our lives build people, build stories, and build a Kingdom bigger than our own.
