Hill to die on: the pink Bible and untruth
- What counts as a hill to die on — which truths are worth fighting over?
The hosts return to Bart's question with the Goofy Pink Bible — a breast-cancer Bible with hope verses highlighted in pink, brought by the Point of Grace youth last week. One host argues anything untrue is a hill to die on, citing Paul rejoicing in Philippians 1 when Christ is preached even from bad motives, and worrying the pink Bible gives only hope verses without sin and the Savior. They land on foundations that can't be conceded: the whole Bible is God-breathed, Christ is the only way, and one host names abortion clinics as his literal hill to die on. The show wraps with plugs for the January 15th Jesse Anderson show, January 20th Winter Jam, and a January 2nd return.

Self-help Jesus and the wave problem
- Why do believers cycle through self-help-style Jesus fads instead of lasting growth?
The hosts move to the second topic: 'self help Jesus' content on social media — spirituality coded with affirmations that God loves you but really centered on self-improvement, arriving in waves like fad diets.
