Putting Christ Back in Christmas Special
Every year, we lament the erosion of the meaning of Christmas in our culture, and every year we realize we've never seen such a hostile, aggressive assault on the holy day. 2021 seems to be no different -- in that it's never been this bad. The only consolation is that our enemies are telling us who they are and how they intend to take away our Christ. But knowledge is power, and as bad as things are, Christians around the world are rising up. In this special, Mike Slater and his panel tell our enemies who WE are and what WE plan to do to put Christ back in Christmas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Book of Leviticus
Leviticus, the third book of the Old Testament (the Jewish Torah) reads like an instruction manual, laying out behavioral norms on morality, organized worship, and how Israel, God's Kingdom, should run its government and military. The main theme throughout this book is holiness. Mike Slater, a pastor, and a rabbi explore how the theological themes addressed in Leviticus can be interpreted and applied to today and our current struggle for objective truth, morality, freedom of religion, and freedom from an increasingly tyrannical government.

MIke Slater peppers his panel of pastors with questions such as: Is Christmas actually a Pagan tradition? How do politics factor into faith? And, Where can I turn to be closer to God?
