Explore the profound truths hidden in our most cherished Christmas carols.

"Joy to the World" announces the Kingship of Jesus, calling each of us to respond to His rule by pushing back against the effects of the fall. With grace, truth, and love, Christ's reign brings hope to our weary world.

Similarly, "O Holy Night" paints a vivid picture of Christ's birth, a moment that brought humanity a new and glorious dawn.

Our friend, Jessica Shakir, from The Beautiful Mind Academy, shares her passion about the Advent season with us as she thoughtfully connects the Christmas story back to the creation narrative.

Are you ready to revitalize the deep joy and hope found in the Christmas message? Tune in for a festive conversation filled with reflection, celebration, and a renewed understanding of the true meaning of Christmas!

What is meant by "social justice" today, and why do so many sincerely justice-loving Christians warn against it? Dr. Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance joins us to discuss social justice vs. biblical justice. We explore the complexities of justice, economic ethics, the flaws of socialism and capitalism, and the role of Christianity in addressing these global challenges. Dr. Beisner offers insights from his book Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice, where he refutes claims that the Bible advocates for wealth redistribution and builds a biblical framework for true justice. The discussion highlights the four criteria of biblical justice—impartiality, proportionality, rendering what is due, and conformity to God's law—while examining why some "rights" claimed in the name of social justice violate true, biblically defined rights. Don't miss this episode as this topic continues to be highly relevant and believers must have a solid biblical perspective in order to think rightly, form culture, and respond to the needs of our society.

Today, the definition of love has been abbreviated to two simplistic concepts: (1) A source of pleasure, joy, or delight. (2) A strong affection, often accompanied by romantic feelings and sexual attraction. Several other facets of the true meaning of love have been removed from our culture’s thinking. These include: (3) To value, cherish, or treasure. (4) Fidelity and devotion. Faithful commitment. (5) To seek the good of another, to give for his or her benefit, even at a significant personal cost.
