Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Merry Christmas!

(00:03):
Alright, TikTok theologians, as you know, after every season,
we have to have some silly little bonus episode for you.
And we were feeling very Christmassy in the very Christmas spirit,
and because it is Christmas, we thought we would give you a little bit of Christmas drama, per se.
Dramatic.

(00:24):
Yeah, so the song, Mary Did You Know?...
Which is a good one, a banger in fact.
It's a great song, I've led it many, many times.
Many a moon, yeah.
It has a classic dramatic build-up and high notes and all that good stuff, you know what I mean?
Of course, of course.
It's a good one. Now the thing is, people have been mentioning this on social media.
Yeah, I've seen it.
That it's not necessarily the most biblically sound.

(00:45):
Yeah, accurate perhaps.
Yeah, almost like Mark Lowry and Buddy Green, the writers of it, are a little bit of mansplaining, you know, to Mary.
To Mary, the one who, you know, carried Jesus and such.
And was visited by...
Said angels.
Yeah.
Gabriel, for real.
But basically told her what's up.
Who told her what's going on, yeah, before this happened.
So I thought, you know, let's do it so we're just doing our own, like, biblical version of it.

(01:09):
Ooh, I like that.
You know what I mean?
So let me go ahead and just get fiddle out here.
Start fiddling on the strings a little bit here.
And on this, we're going to get a little help from my buddy Andy.
Now he is the second half of my music duo, Social Architects.
But he also, fun fact, made the music for our intro.
Our little intro moment.
So we love Andy in this house.

(01:30):
We love Andy.
We're big fans.
All right, let me get settled in here.
So you're going to want to start with the six, you know, saying create a little drama.
Ooh, that's good.
That's good.
Love that.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Repeat that.
Ooh.
Oh, bring in the three.
Come on.
Mary, did you know?

(01:53):
Yes.
Man, come on.
Let me finish.
My bad.
Sorry.
All right, so Mary, did you know that your baby boy one day walk on water?
Maybe.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?

(02:21):
This child that you deliver will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know?
Still, yes.
Now you ain't going to let me do the bridge.
