Summary
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.)

| 0:00.0 | From Cooked Meer. From Croixixadtadne, this is unholyer than now. I'm your host, |
| 0:17.7 | Vrela Picardy. After one month of playing Kelly Clarkson's wrapped in red |
| 0:21.7 | deluxe on repeat repeat that special time is |
| 0:24.3 | almost upon us Christmas Day and while we may know the true air of Christmas as |
| 0:30.2 | Miss Mariah Carey it is a lesser-known fact that the holiday |
| 0:34.8 | originally started to celebrate the birth of someone named Jesus Christ. |
| 0:38.8 | I know, I was shocked too. |
| 0:40.6 | As we've explored on this podcast for many episodes, the story of Jesus has been so |
| 0:44.8 | twisted, so turned, so manipulated that it's hard to get a grasp of who the guy |
| 0:49.0 | really was. 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? |
| 0:59.0 | Go figure! |
| 1:00.0 | To help me set the record straight, and I do not mean that in a homophobic way, I'm thrilled to welcome my friend in the host of the Undistracted podcast Brittany Packnet Cunningham. |
| 1:09.0 | Brittany, welcome to unholyer than now. |
| 1:11.0 | Thank you, Philip. I'm so so glad to be here with you. |
| 1:15.2 | Likewise, now one thing I know for sure about you is that you love Jesus. Is this true? |
| 1:21.8 | This is true. This is true. I do love Jesus very much. I was raised by two people who love Jesus so much so that they were ministers. My dad was a pastor, my mom is a minister, my brother is a minister |
| 1:36.4 | and went to Divinity School and followed in my dad's footsteps on that. |
| 1:40.1 | So yes, I believe that Jesus is the lover of my soul and I am so grateful to be loved by somebody who wants my liberation here on earth just as much as he wants it for me in heaven. |
| 1:50.9 | Okay, wow, you didn't have to show off. I mean that was a lot about the pedigree of how much you love Jesus. |
| 1:56.6 | So I am excited today because I'm hoping we can talk about Jesus in a way that he's not often talked about and also I'm hoping we can do so by playing a little game. |
| 2:08.7 | Are you down to play a little game about Jesus with me? |
| 2:11.1 | I'm always down and play a game. Let's do it. Okay, I hope that your |
