The Messiah vs. The Herods - A Christmas Conversation with Tripp Fuller
Whether you identify as a Christian or not, my hope is that Christmas conversations like this one will be encouraging for you. For a lot of people, this time of year is anything but easy. It can be really hard for a number of reasons. Especially this year.
Likewise, for a lot of other people, it can be like Seinfeld, where the characters invent their own holiday—festivus for the rest of us —to fill in the blank spots in their calendars while everyone else is drinking coco, opening presents, and listening to Mariah Carey’s Christmas album.
In this conversation, I speak with Tripp Fuller from Homebrewed Christianity. When I pitched to Tripp the idea of a Christmas episode, of sorts, he said “that sounds fun.” So we met up, hit record, and riffed on the real story of Christmas, with help from Jacques Ellul and Bernard Charbonneau, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Barth, and of course… Lord of the Rings.
Enjoy!
