In this episode, we chat about Advent and the proper role it has in preparing us for Christmas each year. We discuss the problems of secular Christmas preparations, the importance of preparing for Christ as if preparing for a baby and king (which He is), and how to avoid stress and anger this time of year.

In this episode, we set forth that the Lord of the Rings is the greatest work of fantasy ever written.

Join us around the fire, wherever you may be.
