In the Second Pour, we celebrate a long list of birthdays from our BBA family and honor Mr. Don Adams for twenty-four years of faithful service. In the Final Pour, we reflect on Nietzsche’s statement, “Everything matters. Nothing’s important,” and consider how the New Covenant reframes meaning and purpose for the believer. Together, the episode invites us to see Christmas not as sentiment but as the opening act of God’s saving work.

Today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent walks through David’s return to Ziklag and the devastation he found there.
