We also talk about the greatest gift evangelical's want to see under their tree this year which will drive any sane person to drink.

Grab your favorite beverage cause this week we dive into the most famous Bible verse of them all, John 3:16. Reading it again we aren't all that sure why it's famous but we did learn why we don't have social skills, how most American evangelicals probably aren't saved, and how organizing outside of power is probably the most "Christian" thing you can do.
