Truck Stops Without Trucks & Churches Without Christians

Well folks, we started off talking about Bucky's (the truck stop that doesn't allow trucks - make it make sense), but then things got real when I shared about this secret squirrel meeting I went to about combating white Christian nationalism in Idaho. Bo and I went deep on religious pluralism, why evangelicals suddenly love Mormons when they run for president, and how my Muslim friend made me a better Christian dad during lockdown. We also covered the wild story about Kentuckians trying to vote in an election that didn't exist (they really wanted to vote against Mondaire), Trump flags mysteriously disappearing from Bo's neighborhood after some military comments, and somehow ended up talking about 98 Degrees doing cover songs because they ran out of their own hits. Yeah, it's a ramble-fest, but that's what you're here for, right? See you in Valhalla, brother.

Advent marks the beginning of the church year—an invitation to step out of the empire's time and into God's time, where the last are first, the mighty are scattered, and a child born in occupied territory changes everything. This course invites you into an alternative calendar and rhythm. While our modern world races through December toward consumption and productivity, Advent calls us to a different time—a counter-imperial waiting, a subversive hope, a radical reimagining of how God enters the world. What will we experience? Each week, we'll hear one gospel's unique vision of the birth narrative, allowing Matthew, Luke, John, and Mark to speak in their own voices about what it means for God to show up when empires think they're in control. We'll discover how these ancient texts of resistance offer wisdom for our own moment of political turmoil, economic inequality, and ecological crisis. This class is donation-based, including 0.
