There is a lot of confusion and misinformation about the subject of faith and works and how they relate to each other. Caleb does a deep dive into the historic origins of this question and explains what the Bible says on the matter.

In a special Festivus episode, Caleb, Laura Clark, and John from Millbrook all get together to participate in the Airing of Grievances and then discuss their favorite Christmas traditions as they exchange Christmas presents. They also count down the top 10 stupidest stories of the year and stupidest person of the year in the Daily Dose of Stupid Awards.

Caleb explains a theological conflict within Protestantism that has led to some Christians supporting Israel in their conflict and some opposing them. In a new Breaking the Internet, a meme goes around equating Israel citing a historic claim to the land like ancient Rome claiming modern England as its land today.
