Roundtable: Out of the Christian Bubble<\/b><\/p>\n

Many of us have at least one friend, family member or coworker who\u2019s not a Christian. But if we\u2019re honest, we tend to spend most of our time with other believers; between family, church, ministry opportunities and small group, it\u2019s easy to stay in a faith-filled comfort zone. What are intentional ways to mix it up, branch out, and get out of the Christian \u201cbubble\u201d? Our guests discuss ways they\u2019ve learned to step out of their routines, build community, and be a light for Christ.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Culture: First Christmas, Then Herod<\/b><\/p>\n

If you were part of our Advent text experience, you heard regularly from John Greco. This week he reflects on lessons he\u2019s learned from his extensive study of Advent, and why it\u2019s good for Christians to think of the Christmas story in the bigger context of history. To that end, he\u2019ll read a short excerpt from his book \u201cRediscovering Christmas\u201d<\/span> titled \u201cThe Nightmare After Christmas.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
