World-class philosopher J.P. Moreland and Global Scholars CEO Stan Wallace discuss how Christians can better follow the often-neglected aspect of Jesus' greatest commandment--loving God with all our minds (Luke 10:27). We also discuss how doing so results in a deepening relationship with Christ and greater influence for Christ.

#28 – Christmas, Advent, and Living in Light of the Incarnation
J.P., Stan, and Jordan discuss engaging the Christmas story as thinking Christians and ways to live in light of the hope that the Incarnation brings.
In this podcast we discuss:
How does the humility of God bring wonder and awe to this season?
What does the quiet nature of Christ’s coming reveal about God’s character?
In what ways can we attempt to reclaim the season from consumer culture?
How should Christians handle “Happy Holidays” vs. “Merry Christmas” conversations?
What is a “redemptive analogy” and how can looking for them help bridge cultural and relational divides?
What are the practical implications of the Christmas Story?
