Back to EpisodesFree-Text First Friday: Headlines—Holiday Edition
Description
This special St. Nicholas Day edition of Headlines features multiple rounds of holiday-themed headlines, with two fabricated by the host and one real headline. The guest’s challenge is to identify the real headline, which serves as a springboard for a deeper theological discussion. We’ll cover the use of AI in the church, the dating of Christmas, and strange Christmas traditions. The conversation weaves together humor, insight, and reflections on the holiday season.
The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to explore holiday headlines.
