Summary: Our hearts are heavy as we start the show. Our faithful brother and friend Joe Conkle lost his home to a fire Sunday, December 21st. No lives were lost, but Joe and his wife Brenda lost EVERYTHING. Their church has really stepped up, and we are asking you; our listeners to step up also. After you’ve given to your church and handled all of your financial obligations, please give what you can. They need your prayers for sure, but they need financial help as well. Please provide for this saint and his family on PayPal (www.paypal.com) and all you have to do is enter his email address as the recipient. His email address is jconkle@neo.rr.com. Please send Joe and Brenda a note of encouragement also, let them know you’re praying for them! Andrew Rappaport of Striving for Eternity ministries (www.strivingforeternity.org) joins us to discuss Joe’s status, and Christmas! Being of Jewish decent and raised in that religion, Andrew brings a point of view many of us may not consider when we discuss two videos from our friends at WWUTT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_Ixw7zkyys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIrk4SOzpMo Can you be a Pentacostal and not Charismatic? Look no further than Calvinist Batman! Learn more by listening to his podcast on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/calvinist-batman-friends/id949628132?mt=2 Christmas is full of tradition, and while Colin doesn’t celebrate Pagan holidays, he shares with us childhood memories of his Christmas bus, and Len tells us all about Christmas Butterhorns. Andrew shares what Christmas was like in a Jewish home. Spoiler alert: he didn’t celebrate Christmas. We have a deep discussion as Colin and Andrew discuss the miracle of the incarnation and the Hypostatic Union. Len has a new online business venture. He’s too poor for a website, but he does have a facebook group that you can join if you want to learn more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thepotterspickers/ There is a division among the abortion ministry community; namely AHA (Abolish Human Abortion) and everyone else. Tim is grieved by this and discusses the importance of turning down the rhetoric. We discuss a video produced by Darren Day, a discussion between himself and 3 pastors regarding AHA’s “Church Repent” project.
