Spiritual hunger is resurging, but is it leading us closer to Christ or further into confusion? In this eye-opening episode, we unpack the surprising rise of "spiritual but not religious" beliefs and what they really mean for believers today.

While headlines shout about a spiritual revival or the decline of faith, the truth is more nuanced: a global shift toward superficial spirituality, swallowing many into a dangerous blend of contradictory beliefs. Matthew Tingblad shares compelling data tracing the explosive growth of the "nones" and the subtle but profound difference between atheism, agnosticism, and genuine spiritual longing. You'll discover how most people aren't rejecting faith outright but searching for authenticity in a culture that offers a confusing smorgasbord of beliefs.

Learn about the critical differences between true Christianity and the myriad of spiritual paths competing for attention. We break down why Christianity uniquely offers a relationship—not just rules—addressing the deep hunger that no other worldview satisfies. The episode explores powerful frameworks like the "one-one-one" gospel and the importance of asking thoughtful questions to navigate this spiritual landscape effectively.

Don’t miss why embracing biblical discernment, clarity, and authentic relationships is more crucial than ever. Ignoring this spiritual awakening risks missing the fertile ground where God is working, while on the flip side, properly guiding the hungry toward Christ’s truth can transform lives in this confusing age. Perfect for pastors, evangelists, and believers eager to respond wisely and compassionately, this episode equips you to stand firm and speak clearly in a pluralistic world.

Join us to understand what’s really happening behind the headlines and how to turn spiritual curiosity into authentic discipleship. The harvest is plentiful—are you ready to lead with love and truth?

While we often imagine the Nativity Story as a silent night with angels sweetly singing, the actual event bears little resemblance to these themes. It was a chaotic, messy, difficult scene that our Lord entered into. It’s important to get this story right, because when we do, we see how He still enters into our chaos today to redeem a world in desperate need of a Savior. Listen in as we discuss the real story.

In this episode, we explore the true nature of the Nativity, contrasting the peaceful imagery often associated with Christmas with the chaotic reality described in scripture. We discuss the significance of Jesus' birth in a broken world, the role of shepherds and angels, and how understanding this unfiltered version of Christmas can impact our lives. The conversation emphasizes the hope found in Jesus amidst chaos and the importance of recognizing the already and not yet of our faith.

Key Takeaways from this Episode

• The Nativity is often portrayed as peaceful, but scripture reveals chaos.
• Mary was a young girl, alone and terrified during childbirth.
• The shepherds were under pressure, watching over sacrificial lambs.
• Angels appeared as battle-armored warriors, not gentle beings.
• Jesus' birth signifies hope in a broken world.
• We often polish the Nativity to avoid confronting chaos.
• True peace comes from Jesus, not from perfect circumstances.
• Understanding the Nativity helps us navigate our struggles.
• We live in the tension of the already and not yet.
• The perfect Christmas was the arrival of Christ, not our celebrations.
