What's up, guys?

Welcome back to the Forgotten Jesus podcast.

I almost fell out of my chair right there.

I don't know if you all saw that.

My name's Andrew.

With us, of course, is Pastor Robbie Gowdy and his wife Candy.

If this is your first time on the podcast, there's your introduction.

Okay, Pastor, we have been talking about Christmas things, the Christmas story, misconceptions that we've always believed.

And today we're getting to the wise men. Why were they so wise? That's a good question. We know it's

not wise to have them at your nativity scene on your front lawn,

though. We know that for sure. Why is that? Why should the wise? Because it didn't happen that way.

Because it didn't happen that way. That's right. But who's going to tell that to somebody who took

the time to set up like Candy's dad every year? Listen, my dad built that. I know he didn't. I know

I'm not saying anything bad about it. But were you raised with lights outside the house or no lights for Christmas, your family? Did y'all put lights up or no lights? Um, I don't really remember. Isn't that weird? You didn't have lights? You didn't have liked. You would have remembered. No, you would have remembered. Like I just remember one year we left our tree up through July.

Okay. You didn't have life? We must not have had life. You would have remembered. No, you would have remembered. I just remember one year we left our tree up through July. Was it fake or real? No, I was fake. Okay, I'm going to be fair. I grew up in Robertson County where people keep Christmas lights up year-round. That's true. So I don't really remember. I don't know. Now, Candy, on the other hand, her dad would get out and build the, he'd build the manger and he would build the shed and put the wood, you know, everything.

We moved to lasers now.

Like we got the laser things at our house and it just shone lights on the house. I did that two years ago.

Candy said no. Every column, every window, every eve. Y'all do that right now? No, no, because I would have to do that. I'm not seeing any lights on your house. I grew up in a home. We did nothing like that. Yeah, we are Catholic. Yeah. Well, that's true. Are you saying Catholic people don't put up?

No, you just put up Mary.

You put up Mary in that.

Joseph and Jesus.

Okay, moving on.
