1. Paul wraps up his “missionary support letter” by seeking support for the church around the known world in both spiritual and physical ways. A lot of names are mentioned--some we know, some we don’t--but God has used them all.
  2. It is an honor to be a proclaimer of the Gospel, and we have much to be proud of in Christ who empties us of our sins and fills us with His grace.
  3. John is preaching in the wilderness and baptizing people in the Jordan River.
  4. Jesus is born, and His birth is proclaimed to shepherds which includes good news for all of us.
  5. Sane People Would Pay Top Dollar for This Kind of Podcast. Gillespie, Riley, and special guest Chad Bird read from his book, "Your God is Too Glorious." They then discuss baptism, suffering, and vocation.
  6. I’m spiritual, not Spiritual. Gillespie and Riley continue hijacking their podcast to honor their spiritual father, Norman Nagel. This week, we discuss how to sort out gifts we give ourselves and gifts given by God.
