Summary
Happy holidays! To celebrate the ~festive season~, we thought we'd release a fan-favorite: Phill's conversation with Brittany Packnett Cunningham about Jesus. Yes, that Jesus!
As appealing as hunky blondes can be, Phill isn’t interested in worshipping one (well, at least not as the son of God). There's a whole lot of myths about Jesus—and then there's who the Bible ACTUALLY says he was. And turns out, he's kind of a great guy! To help him dissect the activist Jesus was in his own life, Brittany Packnett Cunningham joins to play a fun Bible game. (The grand prize is kind of a bummer, though.)

| 0:41.1 | As we've explored on this podcast for many episodes, the story of Jesus has been so twisted, |
| 0:45.3 | so turned, so manipulated, that it's hard to get a grasp of who the guy really was. |
| 0:50.2 | For example, did you know that historians mostly agree that Jesus, a Middle Eastern Jewish man, was not blonde and blue-eyed as all that Renaissance art depicts? |
| 0:59.1 | Go figure! |
| 1:00.4 | To help me set the record straight, and I do not mean that in a homophobic way, I'm thrilled to welcome my friend and the host of the Undistracted podcast, Brittany Packnick Cunningham. |
