Merry Christmas! In this special holiday episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate celebrates the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We kick things off with an unorthodox, AI-generated Christmas song that takes a deep dive into the spiritual warfare behind the scenes of the Nativity. Nate also addresses the "Christmas tree controversy" for the last time this seasonāspoiler alert: nobody is actually worshipping the pine needles in their living room. The conversation turns to the core of the Gospel, exploring why Jesus, the eternal God, took on flesh to live among us and die for our sins. We also take a lighthearted look at holiday traditions around the world, from Russian Orthodox dates to the simple struggle of finding an open Starbucks on Christmas morning. Whether you're opening presents or just "twiddling your thumbs" waiting for dinner, join us for a relaxed, Christ-centered morning of fellowship.
