  • Encore: Is the Christmas Story a Myth?
    Dec 23 2025

    Have you ever had doubts about the trustworthiness of the gospels or if the Christmas story is really historical?

    In this episode from the archives, Scott and Shawn discuss why we can have confidence that the Christmas story is true. They answer questions about supposed contradictions between the gospel accounts, the differences in genealogies between Matthew and Luke, the dating of the gospels, and the supernatural aspects of each gospel.

  • When Sleep Suffers: The Spiritual Cost of Living Online
    Dec 9 2025

    Excessive cell phone use and poor sleep patterns often go hand in hand. But aside from the physiological and mental health impact, Christians must also become aware of the spiritual significance of sleep.

    In this episode, Scott and Shawn continue the journey of learning to think like Jesus by looking at the problem of sleep deprivation in our digital age from the standpoint of what God tells us about the importance of sleep. They uncover that, beyond just meeting our daily need for rest, sleep is a gift from God that teaches us important truths about who he is and what his ultimate desire is for us as his children.
