Hey, everyone. I am with Justin. Hi, everybody. And it is going to be a unique podcast, just because it's been a unique year. We gathered in Knoxville. We just did a podcast together. That'll be coming out later. But today is a special podcast, Jimmy Bueller, pastor of Christ Community Church, Justin Purdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church. Testing John's memory here. And John Moffitt, knew him, that's me, pastor of Grace Reform Church.

We got together with some of our dear friends from 1517.

Justin, tell us a little bit about that combo.

Yeah, so for those of you who don't know, 1517 is a ministry of some of our brothers

in Christ, brothers and sisters in Christ, of a Lutheran persuasion of 1517 is a ministry of some of our brothers in Christ, brothers and sisters in Christ,

of a Lutheran persuasion, 1517, Christ for you. They have several podcasts of their own

30 minutes in the New Testament, 40 minutes in the Old Testament. So we locked arms with our brothers,

Daniel and Mary Price, Chad Bird, and Eric Sorensen to do a podcast about the incarnation and its significance.

And as you'll gather in the intro, as our friend Daniel said, it's six dudes around a microphone

who all think they have something significant to say about theology. And so you're going to notice

that there are a number of guys who are clamoring for the microphone in one sense. And we all are trying to offer

helpful thoughts about the incarnation and why it matters for us. Well, and the reason we're

clamoring is that we all love the subject. We love the subject. We can't talk about Christ enough.

Yeah, amen, brother. And it's a wonderful time of year and a lot of times, I think for Christians,

Christmas is kind of ruined by just absurd notions that like the birth narrative

of Jesus is like twice the night before Christmas Christian style.

We want to talk about it from a more robust perspective that Christmas is about

redemption and it's ultimately about what Christ came to do.

That's right.

And so we hope it's encouraging.

And if you want to know why there's noise in the background, you're going to have to

listen to next year's podcast. And so we hope it's encouraging. Right. And if you want to know why there's noise in the background, you're going to have to listen to next year's podcasts.
