Hello, welcome along to the show and a very happy Christmas to you. It's Justin Briley bringing you the regular sit-down with NTRI.

And today we're going to be, well, having a bit of fun, looking at questions around Mary and Joseph and those gifts they receive.

Plus, asking Tom questions about himself, you often write in with your questions for Tom such as, what does a senior research fellow at Whitcliffe Hall do exactly?

How does he manage to produce all of that stuff he produces and what about his love of classical music and more besides?

So looking forward to asking Tom all of those questions today.

The eagle to tackle difficult questions in an intelligent, authentic and caring way and have helped me have a much more thorough understanding of Scripture, God and Jesus.

You're not the only one. I personally benefit hugely from having these conversations with Tom. There's so much that falls into place when I have these conversations.
