Summary

A few notes of Christmas music set the scene, but the heart of this conversation is bigger than a holiday playlist. We look back on a year where gratitude turned into action: policy wins that reopened space for faith in schools, new training programs that doubled in size, and unexpected doors at the highest levels that accelerated long-laid plans. The throughline is simple and bold—He came—and because He came, we work with hope, grit, and a sense of timing that refuses to waste frustration. ...

Yes, that's right. Don't turn, don't change the channel, or stop the podcast app that you're using or whatever.

That Christmas music doesn't mean you have the wrong program it actually means we're finally back in line with the David Barton tradition we're way behind I guess yesterday was the first day we did Christmas music and we should have been doing it for like six months according to our history over the last 20 years with David so David does that give you like warm fuzzies I I mean, it's actually Christmas Eve. So I mean, we're like in the David Barton zone today.

0:43.1

Well, actually, I mean, to put it frankly, we've got about 30-minute program here and it all ought to be

0:49.7

Christmas music. I mean, we're right up against it. If we just played Christmas music for the entire program, we would have the perfect tone for the rest of the week, man. It's just, I don't know why we're talking. Christmas music ought to be everything.

1:03.5

We could just have it. Tim, why don't we just ask Justin to just have Christmas music playing underneath us all day to day? Would that help? Did that find the balance? As long as he doesn't put that in our headphones,

1:15.2

then I'm totally fine. I would be so distracted if we're having a deep conversation all

1:19.7

a sudden, like a, whether it's being Crosby, right, or Michael Gububle, or whoever it is,

1:24.9

somebody comes in at King Cole comes in and I'm like wanting to sing along

1:28.4

or whatever happened. So, but yes, it'd be appropriate. And, you know, Dan, I was thinking

1:33.0

1:40.7

And I heard a pastor say over the weekend, and I've actually heard several different pastors

1:46.2

on podcasts talk about this, this December, which is super fun, that this notion of December 25th is

1:53.1

when we obviously celebrate the birth of Jesus, but far more likely that it was a much warmer

1:59.1

time when Jesus was there because the shepherds were out in the fields.

2:02.9

And if it's wintertime, shepherds aren't usually in fields.

2:05.4

And just going through some of the details and some of the traditions around Christmas,

2:09.3

but why it became the tradition it was and why it's still totally fine for Christians

2:14.0

to have a Christmas tree, right?

2:16.6

Obviously, to give gifts, all these details.

2:19.1

But to the point that nobody knows for sure when Jesus was born, Dad, I think now you

2:25.1
