Exploring Fantasy and Romance Tropes in a Biblical Context

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Back to Bethlehem, Part I,” in which Connie and Eugene(ius) are off to experience the Nativity for themselves in the Imagination Station. Will Eugene’s heart be opened to the true meaning of Christmas, or will he remain trapped in his doubts? Will Connie’s eyes be opened to the gritty reality of life in the first century, or will she get caught up in a brewing love triangle that serves no purpose other than being extremely entertaining? Also, a baffling Chris Corner (or should we say, Christmas Corner?), selectively leaning into the realism of patriarchy, and Imagination Station theories! Everyone say Roman Census!
