Hey, everybody. Thanks for tuning in to the recovering fundamentalist podcast. Merry Christmas Eve.

We are your host. I'm Jay C. Groves. That's Matt Dudley. Matt, how are you up in the frozen tundra of Missouri?

Man, I'm doing good, buddy. It's not too cold up here this week. Is it not? No. What's the temperature?

Oh, 40. Oh, that's not bad. No.

Oh, goodness. Y'all get the white stuff. We don't get snow down here. Oh, I wish we did.

Listen, I don't have heat in my truck right now, but it's paid off. And so I'd ride around everywhere.

I got out this morning and, you know,

we barely, rarely ever get frost or, you know, our windows really bad. Well, no defrosters. So I'm out there with the water hose at 6 a.m. trying to spray the stuff off my windows. I got

gloves on. It was miserable. Thank goodness for a seat warmer because I get in and I'm just

shivering to death. But hey, in comparison, it's first world problems, right? Right.

That's it. Of course, our brother Nathan Cravat is alive. There's a good thing.

Last time we were on the podcast, of course, it was Brian and I, and we, and I'll be honest,

I started writing a funeral.

And a couple days later, he woke up, and he is healing.

And having his good days, his bad days. You can be praying for him.

This is Monday, Christmas Eve Eve.

And Nathan is actually going into surgery today to take care of those fingers and toes.

And so we want to definitely keep him in prayer there.

But he's healing, man.

He's doing good.

He's home now.

You know, of course, they live here in Chattanooga.
