Merry Christmas, and welcome to a special Holiday edition of Thy Kingdom Pod: a podcast about living in the unfinished mission of Jesus. In this episode, Sarah, Jim, Sonji and Jonathan will be talking about Christmas traditions from around the globe, what they say about their respective cultures, how your Christmas tree might actually introduce a colony of praying mantises into your home, and how we as Christians can approach the holiday season in a way that engages our culture but still recognizes the wonder of Jesus.
