Welcome back to the One Voice Nothing New Under the Sun podcast. I'm your host Daniel. Everyday people retire and likewise everyday people join the workforce. Because of this, young people are constantly finding themselves in places of leadership and authority over folks older than them.

And this happens in the workplace, it can also happen in churches, in politics and other places. When this happens though the older and presumably wiser people often tell us to wait our turn and that we're too young to handle these responsibilities.

Does history and the bible say this? Do they also insinuate that young people should wait and not make any waves because we're too young? Or do they show by precept and example that youth have what it takes to lead?

It's the holiday season once again and just about everyone's rushing around looking for gifts, decorating the house, putting up the tree, and listening almost daily to Christmas music.

This season is full of excitement for some, stress for others, and even dread for a few.

For many Christians though, this time is a reminder of the Christ who came to save us from our sins.

And the fact that Christmas is becoming more about gifts, seeing family and friends, and having a good time than about the Christ who came to save us, is causing some to be distressed thinking that this shift is a sign of secular culture subverting Christianity.

Is this actually true? Does history and the bible point to the secularization of Christmas as an attack on Christian values or Christianity in general?

The midterm elections just ended recently, and one of the main concerns that voters had going into it was the fact that this country is in its worst period of inflation in the past 40 years.

The rising costs and subsequent financial insecurity have left many Americans convinced that something needs to change.

The question though, is what? 

Does history and the bible shed some light on how to dig our country out of this financial crisis?
