This week Paul takes a exploreswhy the Christmas season is the most meaningful to him in the Christian calendar. First he takes a deep dive into his Christology (ie, the study of Christ and why he matters), and then he shares a brief personal story about why this season matters to him as much as it does. What's your favorite season or holiday in your tradition? What does Christmas mean to you? And which "Jesus" do you like best?

In this week's episode Paul goes through a very unscientific survey he asked Trump voters he knows to fill out. The reality is that enough Americans support him to have elected him again, and Paul felt a need to understand a little better why people support him. And out of this tiny survey, came a revelation for Paul about what "the left" is missing when it comes to our current sociopolitical state and electoral politics.

On Friday afternoon, the day this episode was recorded, the Texas Board of Education voted to allow the Bluebonnet curriculum to not only be allowed in its schools, but incentivizes them to do so. What is this a problem? Because the curriculum is fraught with Christian teaching. This week, Paul (speaking as a pastor and substitute teacher) breaks down two units from the curriculum, exposing their problems both socially and theologically, as well as positing why this curriculum violates the First Amendment.
