As political landscapes shift, we navigate the implications of transitioning from a 'woke left' to a 'woke right' movement, examining the ideological threats posed to Christianity both inside and outside the church. What should we look for? How should we respond? How do we maintain a posture of worship in light of so many distractions and duties? Are you equipped to understand crucial cultural issues and stand firm against these threats?

While the New Testament does not give an explicit date or any date at all for the birth of Jesus, does it offer clues and insights as to when His birthdate may have been? Is the Christmas holiday really based on pagan myths and legends such as Saturnalia? Is it possible that scholars have been misled by a mistake Josephus made regarding the timing of the reign of Herod?

However, you can find it here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/25442624 The birthdate for Jesus presented originally came from R.L Martin's The Star that astonished the World, which can be read for free here: https://www.askelm.com/star/ Also check out the book Reversing Hermon by Michael Heiser for more detail on this date, plus the meaning of Jesus' birth associated with the flood. https://www.amazon.com/Reversing-Hermon-Watchers-Forgotten-Mission/dp/0998142638/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1TIJ9JFKOG8E7&keywords=reversing+hermon&qid=1672788709&sprefix=reversing+hermon%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1 Sorry, I do not think I have the ability to upload the photo of the Rev 12 constellations on September 11, 3 BC to the podcast description.

Bart Ehrman famously proclaimed that Jesus never claimed to be God in the Gospel of Mark and that this was a later invention by the church. Is he correct? Did Jesus see Himself as only a prophet? Nick Shalna provides an example from every chapter of Mark where Jesus makes an undeniable claim to Deity.
